    Those rear pads look like a big clue to the instability under braking that you’re reporting in your other thread. 3 of the 4 are down to metal but the 4th appears to have decent material left. I suspect you have a sticking or dragging rear...

    @Akel I responded on your build thread, but those rear brake pad pictures you posted suggest a problem with one of your rear calipers. Which of course would cause all sorts of instability. (see full post)

    The 3R's are everything I heard about. Big jump for me having only ever ran the PS4's in the past. Yes, they do not grip well in the cold and wet, but they are manageable as long as water is not running across the track or puddling. First two...

    Date of Lap time:
    Club spec mustang. I was really hoping to be in the 2:10s but I had some issues with the new Gloc pads that threw me for a loop (almost literally). I switched my rears back to some old ebcs I luckily had in my track box and it took me the last 2...

    You're right Rob, NASCAR has the longest and most grueling season of any sport and it can surely catch up with you if you don't see it coming,

    this happened to me in 2022. Crashed hard. Felt like I tripped and face planted while at a full on sprint speed. Cant imagine how folks in these environments survive - whether it be the athlete themselves or the crew.The big part folks don't...

    Steve68Cougar replied to the thread Xineering Rev Match Module settings.
    At this point I haven't touched the settings. I run with it off except during track events (I'll rarely use it during an autocross, but not typical). I located the on/off rocker switch in the sunglasses holder compartment. You open up the holder... (see full post)
  • EF1 replied to the thread Xineering Rev Match Module settings.
    I wired a rocker switch in to turn the blip module off when not on track. It is mounted behind the e brake lever so it is reachable with harnesses on but it cannot be bumped accidentally. I do not remember the values at the moment and I cannot... (see full post)

    Hello all,Just coming on here to get a bit of feedback and info. I installed the xineering rev match module on my car and have been playing with the settings to get it dialed in since the out the box settings are a bit too aggressive. Those of...

    So we're going down this rabbit hole? Tire width really messes with a lot of other things and IMO generally falls under the file of demon tweeks to try and make something work that really doesn't want to work, or more likely a rule work around...

    No, I dont' think it was that particular thing. You have to figure something like that out even for the street. It was more about which coil-overs to buy and those fun little bunny-holes.
  • TeeLew reacted to Akel's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like Like.
    I had a track day last Saturday. After 2 session my rear brakes where just metal plates. Went to autzone and got some cheap brake pads to replace them and after another 2 session my pads where once again plates. Left the nannies on and I think...

    Not agruing here...discussing. I'm curious how you run your dampers.You say, "...you want the compression to be as soft as possible." While I will agree that is 'a' way to run the damping, it's not the only way. I guess I would add to your... (see full post)
