    Why did I fall for the bait of this thread title? I was not thinking coilovers!

    Koni Sport dampers and Evolution driving school..

    Thanks for the input and it was a Miata spec guy with a lot of Gingerman laps who helped me at least find my way a bit in turn 5 and 6. I had my eye on Vorshlag ducts and your info on the stoptechs is great as I am too lazy to be swapping pads all the time for a few HPDE events. Now you...

    Koni Sport dampers and Evolution driving school..

    I wish I had the experience of those here to write with some sort of technical view. This was my 3rd HPDE event ever but 1st in this car and at Gingerman. 2014 Brembo car, 6spd auto in sport mode the whole time with stability on and TC off Car only had 900 miles so I took it out there with...

    Are you starting with a 2014 Brembo car? Just curious for comparison, I just completed my 1st HPDE event in my 2014 Brembo car at Gingerman recently.

    Swap to 14" rear brakes for $299.99

    I used a similair kit on 98 saleen, yes I know non S197. It worked fine. Done for looks only to balance out puny little rear rotors. In theory I think an argument can be made for better braking due to moving clampoing force out in a bigger Arc or something but who knows. And if I thought...

    Unusual rear brake wear

    Good find. Apparently you can also turn them both all the way off by holding brake and pressing button for more than 5 secs.

    Unusual rear brake wear

    Well the Brembo package comes with some sort of different parameters to the traction control tuning that is supposed to be more forgiving. What exactly I do not know. In sport mode on the auto 13&14 cars you can manually shift gears with button on side of handle. Not much use in road racing...

    Unusual rear brake wear

    Thanks for the info. I have actually done one HPDE event at Road America in a 1995 C4 Vette with about 350HP, stock suspension and pads that could take it. Much larger track for sure and I scared the heck out of myself a couple times. At Gingerman I am somewhat familiar as I did one of those...

    Unusual rear brake wear

    Good points. One bonus I have is my home is only 6 miles from track. I can limp home easily enough if need be.

    Unusual rear brake wear

    I'll be doing my first HPDE (at this track and in this car) in a couple weeks at Gingerman. My car is new 2014 auto with Brembo package, 1000 miles on it with the Good Year F1 something or others. I fully get the pads should be changed but they won't be before this event. I am signed up for...

    I have a built in 1989 and never driven JRX2 on my shelf. Still have original uncut body, box and sale invoice. Why, who the heck knows?

    RC Cars

    That is until the JRX2. Losi for life! Seriously though, I won my first race in 89 or so, man I am old. I still have a nice vintage collection of cars including Yokomo YZ-10 (First car I ever won a race with), Schumacher Topcat (Given to me by Cecil Schumacher at Chicago Hobby show) and way...

    Thank you. Funny I just picked up a new Escape in the same $395 ruby option. And though I can't be sure and I am sure Ford would say no, there is way more orange peel on the Escape. It is clear the paint on the stang is laid on smoother.

    I finally got pic on my intro. I just switched from old school laptop to a new Microsoft surface and I feel like it will be a year before I get used to this. I like old tech solid axles, walking uphill both ways to school and the like.

    Thank you. Though only a "touring" session so far at Road America managed to get lucky and have several triple digit moments behind a new Shelby and C7 pace car. We lapped hard for several laps at 4.0 miles around each. I've got some seat time under me in all sorts of cars and price points and...

    Hello, Just purchased 2014 Ruby Red GT with Brembo package and it will see action at Gingerman regularly around the corner from me. This is my first new Mustang but 4th one. Others included 1993 Teal Cobra #195, 1997 Saleen S281, and a 1990 LX 5.0. Too many other cars to mention but I always...
