  1. 2024 Season: Brake Hardware Recap

    C12 is a legit track only compound. Not recommended for street use at all — like don’t drive to and from the track on it. It will work, but wear is hyper accelerated outside of optimal temps. If your trailer, then go for it.

    Oscar Jackson Jr (Jackson Racing) raced this car — he has certified excellent taste :)
  3. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    Quick note on street driving 200TW track tires. It’s totally fine — any of them. That’s the point. Some are more street friendly than others, all will have some hydroplane resistance. It’s when tread depth gets low you need to be cautious about rain. You will not heat cycle our your tires by...
  4. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    I usually rotate after 2 days, pending wear. The front right on Ridge gets pummeled, so I throw it to the back left pretty quickly.

    I’ve been there twice this month ?
  6. 2024 Season: Brake Hardware Recap

    Didn't measure -- just going back to construction and design. Pad life + Lack of Brownbos + Lack of Overheated Pads also demonstrates the effectiveness of the setup.

    Now it's just a sad empty room with no dollars ?
  8. 2024 Season: Brake Hardware Recap

    CPs are dead quiet. That's your hybrid option. The C1X is also super quiet. Everyone once in a while I hear the tiniest squeal, but it's not regular and certainly not obnoxious. Nothing like what I experienced with PMU Racing999's or Carbotechs on other vehicles, where I was embarrassed at every...
  9. 2024 Season: Brake Hardware Recap

    The CP is technically a Street Pad, but it can handle track use very well. It definitely has the most pad life on the street, because it operates the best at those lower temps. But, when comparing on track to on track, it does not have the same life as the C1X. The rears are just slightly...

    Pulled the trigger on the PWR Track Spec Rad and Intercooler :cool:
  11. 2024 Season: Brake Hardware Recap

    CSG CE1 and Girodisc. I'll be running C11 and Girodisc here shortly. I'll get some measurements on the rear pad after 450+ laps too
  12. 2024 Season: Brake Hardware Recap

    **UPDATE** Added another 70 Laps to this set up. C1X Pads -- now at 252 Laps across 10 Track Days and multiple new PBs Girodisc Rotors -- now at 602 Laps across 23 Track Days
  13. All the Available Aftermarket FMICs are Bad

    This is the track channel though! Not the pretend street “racers” channel ?
  14. All the Available Aftermarket FMICs are Bad

    I believe it’s 18lbs or so heavier. While PWR and J’s are like 6lbs heavier.
  15. All the Available Aftermarket FMICs are Bad

    The PRL intercooler is a overweight brick. That's where most of the bad rap for FMICs are coming from. PWR, J's Racing, and RV6 are more of an appropriate weight with better flow. I'd be mindful that cooling systems developed/tested in tandem, are likely to produce better results because...
  16. Paragon brake pad for 90% commuter, 10% autox/HPDE

    Yes, but it's a vastly quicker and simpler procedure -- aka you can basically accomplish it on your out lap and go...or a couple quick stops on the street.
  17. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    I was only talking about track wheels! Of course you need that 4th set for those activities!
  18. CIVICXI *NOVICE* Track Thread!

    @DustyDan -- as you might have seen elsewhere -- I recommend CSG Pads. The CSG CPB's sound right up your alley. Great on the street and work well on track. They are a bit pricey, but you don't have to make the sacrifices of the other pads.
  19. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    You need three sets. Primary Stickyboi Set. Secondary Stickyboi set to scurb in new tires. Tertiary set with PS4S or ECS02 for WET LAPS
  20. Paragon brake pad for 90% commuter, 10% autox/HPDE

    The CPs for the front are pre-burnished/bedded -- but CPs really didn't need anything in the first place. Many of CSG's compounds are coming pre-burnished now -- you can see them denoted with a "B" at the end of the compound. It' makes them pretty turn key. I just sent it with the C1XB's.
