mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.I personally would not run mismatched pads on track but some do. I know the rears are kinda underused on this platform but I’d guess...

You don’t need to swap rotors. If you track with an aggressive pad, when you leave the track, the pads will no longer be at temp and...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.My C1Xbs were passable in terms of noise before bedding. Once I wore the transfer layer off driving home from the track they got pretty...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.Update: track day was excellent. Car was excellent. Never saw coolant temps above 205 with the WOT plate + rain guard removed running at...

If you want more camber, than just pulling the pin, grab some camber joints from evasive, white line or Js racing. You can get up to...

Trail braking to rotate at the apex will be your best friend!!

have fun at your track day Mistop, you will love the FL5

The front tire does most of the work, so just be mindful not to ask too much of the car at the same time (brake/turn/accelerate)...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.It’s all good guys, everyone can have their take and you’re both right depending on conditions and driver speed. It’s the same story...

I'm only a 4-5 times a year kind of guy when I'm going - San Diego is pretty far from the nearest tracks - so I'm no expert by any...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.Good to hear. Hopefully the WOT cooling plate provides a nice buffer too. Any tips? I have a fair amount of experience there in...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.I kinda think they are more light (like really light) track rather than street biased. If anything I’d want a street pad to have more...

its not just about speed, to some leaving AHA on will make the car drive better. What I am saying is don't just turn that off and never...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.Not my only car, no. It isn’t a daily either. I’m used to swapping back and forth between pad compounds regardless.

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.I forgot to mention I did the paragon titanium shims with the CSG pads. Between that and the Endless fluid I should be good on fluid...

I missed the wheel and tire comment! Sorry about that.

if stock suspension most people do camber lower ball joints. You get 3 adjustments, stock +1 and +2 ish. And can dial a little more or...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.0.3deg more negative camber is so little I tend to agree. Especially with the cost of alignments here. What do people typically do for...

Personally Id save my time and money and just run it stock vs pins + alignment. But thats just me. Eventually get some camber on the...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.So many variables from driver to track surface. The Ridge isn’t too hard on tires but maybe I’m just not fast enough. If I can do the...

If its a cool day the car will be totally fine and won't come close to "overheating". Removing the rain gutter does take no time though...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.The PS4S won’t hit the track unless it rains. I’ll be on those RE71RZs pictured above. I’ll do the rain guard and pedal dance and just...
-
If you expect a 7/10 day, AND cool, I would say this advice is completely meaningless for you. I wouldn’t remove the rain guard, I...

mistople replied to the thread *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*.Thanks for the tips! Definitely removing the rain guard and blasting heat! Luckily it looks like it will be on the cooler side that...
