Yeah I agree with that, I think for my purpose it wasn't bad but it was more of a easiest solution vs the best solution. I wonder if it might do better if running with some kind of vibration reduction function in camera....

I think I saw this on Reddit and I got one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074WFNNKY Used it on my last trackday and I was pretty happy with how it worked. You basically has it wrapped around the harness hole on the seat and I was using it with a GoPro Hero 5 Black...

Brad's had a few in the past in some pretty interesting cars for different classes. Congrats on the result. Certainly seems like alignment between the 2 Type R wouldn't be too crazy of a proposal.

I switched to P3 from stock pads when my stock pads were pretty much done. I did some street bed in with 30-60mph stops per the website but probably 2 months after I was finally able to go to a track day. Post bed-in the pads are definitely pretty noisy compare to stock. More so rear than than...

Once you finished the process if the brakes cooled completely you can use the e brake just fine

The main goal is to heat up the pad enough to leave the pad transfer layer onto the rotor(also the repeats is so that you do it evenly). Do you have to do it to a T? Probably not, but the number of stops(to get enough temp and evenness ) and cool down really whats important. You are not likely...

The FL5's is an improvement over FK8's, believe it or not. When I had the FK8 I've had rock chip that grown into a crack to the edge almost immediately. Then i replaced with another factory one and got hit by another one and cracked to the edge immediately again, in the same week... Replaced...

As far as autoX goes, stock brakes are no worries. I only don't like the dust, they do wear quite aggressively for factory hardware.

Don't you still need to bed in the pad material to the rotors? Its not just the pad itself needs burnishing no?

How loud does a Tomei(without the insert) compare with Remark Ti?

Yeah I am aware of that

While I don't doubt those CSG pads probably work great, getting novices to spend $780 on pads is quite a lot...

One of the things I am still floating the idea to do is to get an exhaust for the car. Being a nerd I'd really like to lose some weight with it along with a bit more noise so Titanium seems to be what I'd be after. Ideally I'd like to keep a valved exhaust for some amount of ability to quiet it...

I have the .188 wall bar.

I also went to Pirelli Weatheractive for my new winter setup. Originally I had X-Ice from 2018 that I used on my FK8 but its been too many years so I decided to swap this year. The FK8 setup was 18x8.5 ET40 wheels running on 235/45/18 tires. Decided to go with 245/40/18 this time around on the...
