Ill have to try next time, the turn prior is a very tight carousel where I use mid 3rd gear and usually wind it out through the first S, maybe I can short shift before the first s...
After reading some of these responses on traffic and crowdedness, I think one of the main reasons I had such a good experience too was because I went on a Thursday. I understand not everyone can take off work, but Id say there were probably 30 cars at most at the track, maybe 12 in my group so...
Don't feel embarrassed, I money shifted too. Im sure we aren't alone. For me, there was a section of the track that is full throttle through the Esses' and I have to shift up from 3rd to 4th in the middle of them while trying to hit the second curve, not easy. I hit 2nd instead of 4th probably...
Yeah SCDA was great.
Would love to come to VIR, big time bucket list place for me. But might be too tight of a squeeze with my engagement party in May. I think the previously mentioned Fiancé might be a little upset if I blew the budget on a track day instead of the party... gotta pick my...
Successful first track day here and can’t wait to do another! I’ll share my thoughts and setup:
For track specific mods I went with rt615k tires on 18s, Paragon P3 pads front and rear, SRF fluid, Type S damper module with eibach pro kit springs. As a novice I don’t think that you really NEED...
Heading to NJMP this Thursday for my first Track Day. Car is prepped and ready I installed P3 pads and SRF brake fluid. Running with the stock wheels and tires. Ill be sure to share my thoughts after the day
Minor concern: Stock tires have 17k miles and about 3-4 autocross days on them. I...
The project aero lip seems like the most conservative lip out there in terms of height, looks, and durability. It’s really just a splitter I guess. I would have no issues running it on track. Interested to see if anyone is or has ran any others and their experience
Does anyone here track their car with a front lip? If so which one & what's your suspension modifications?
I was tempted to get the GU lip but im on eibach pro kit springs. Seems like it may be too low for track use. Looking at most of your avatar pics none of you seem to run one.
Im leaning towards Rp-1 up front and Bluestuff in back, seems to be safe review wise and budget friendly
Anyone grease the back of their pads? I have in the past on a street car but don't think I will if these pads will last well in season and see some decent temps.
I don't plan on taking...
You make a great point about the R5 pads, I was trying to save a few bucks with the P3's. I saw you're running the R5's, hows bad is the squeal on the road? Are you using shims/are they necessary? I used TI shims on my STI to stop the squeal and it worked, never tracked that car (im aware they...
Signing up for my first track day March 13th at NJMP with SCDA HPDE! I think I've read through about 50 pages of track junkie posts at this point so appreciate all the info
Last season was my first ever season of Autocross so id say I'm somewhat familiar with the car. Since its my first track...
I’m not sure what the price was prior to my looking but they showed $1,850 starting price and $375 off for Black Friday for the 5000TLX. Happy with the quick jacks too. I feel a lot safer working on the car, using a floor jack with this car is a pain and can be pretty sketchy
There is some good...
Had a decent December. Got QuickJacks on a Black Friday deal, got a great deal on a set of winter wheels including tires and installed them, installed PRL HVI, and finally decided to install the Eibach Pro Kit springs this weekend
Was unsure the 255/40/18 tires that were on the Enkei's would...
Cant seem to find anyone who has ran a 40 series sidewall and is lowered on springs. Anyone have any info on whether its driveable/rubs? my assumptions is that it does, but i havent found anyone who has actually tried.
My winter wheels have 255/40/18 tires on them and I have eibach pro kit...
I purchased the ADS module from @TW00Si and I've been running it for about a week and half now and I generally have to agree with most points here but I'll share my opinion for those on the fence about purchasing:
First off my reason for purchasing it was not because I disliked the ride quality...
