I have a set of Carbotech XP8 pads that I used for 1 track day before I traded my EBM PP in for a GT PP. So they no longer are of any use to me. I also have a set of front rotor blanks (Centric) that I bought to track them with, so they are bedded to those pads.
Front XP8: $100 + shipping...
At great risk of starting a political discussion, I'd be curious to know people's thoughts on this:
https://www.sema.org/news/2016/02/08/epa-seeks-to-prohibit-conversion-of-vehicles-into-racecars
It seems to me like an area that the EPA needs to stay out of, but then, I'm pretty much a...
So the first HPDE event at my local track will be in March. Temps in March are still fairly cold - lows in the 30s and highs in the mid 50s. What do you do about tires when the temps are that cold? I don't think I really want to track on my snow tires, but won't that cold prevent my summers from...
So I think this year will be suspension upgrades. All I have right now are Steeda linear springs. I was looking at Steeda and BMR solutions - debating between these things:
Steeda:
IRS Subframe Bushing Support System and Alignment Kit
IRS Subframe Support Braces
Vertical Links
Sway Bars...
Thank goodness for warranties? Was experiencing some weird grinding noises when braking, couldn't figure it out for the life of me - pads had plenty of life, no marks on the rotors, etc. Finally took it in - bad wheel bearing. Wasn't hearing any whining that I'd usually associate with that...
I have Roush Quicksilver 20x9.5s that need new shoes. I want to go square, so I'm debating between 275s and 285s. Any issues running 285s on 9.5s or up front on a PP EBM with Steeda springs?
Tires up for consideration are RE760, S04, Sport Comp2 - mixed street and track, but lots of daily...
So went to my first ever HPDE event yesterday - first time on a track ever. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I had a blast, and went from a best lap of 2:29.80 on session 1 to a 2:02.48 best lap on session 4. So fun, and the people at NASA Utah were great. I plan on going to the next...
So I've read a bunch of threads, and the only one that has really talked about linear vs. progressive springs was the BMR thread. I understand the mechanical differences between the two, but what is the practical difference? My car is mostly my daily driver, but I've joined NASA and want to...
So I flashed my car to stage one last week and it all seemed to go fine. Yesterday I hooked up the ap to monitor the gauges and after a minute it said shutting down because it detected the engine had turned off. I was still driving. Now when I plug out in it turns on and just sits at trying to...
I have the EBM with the Performance Pack. Will 18s fit over the upgraded brakes and rotors (heck anything smaller? 17s?). I'm just trying to plan ahead for winter rims/tires. Shopping on tirerack, it's only a couple hundred more to get 18s with snow tires than a set of snow tires for my 19s...
