That is it....
I consider tires, wheels, brake pads, fluids etc to be consumables...that added up to about 12k for the first season...
Speaking of palmer, I was there in Sept with proper tires and was not able to beat my gr86 time...I got a lot more comfortable with the type r since, so looking forward to the next attempt...I expect it to be 2 to 3 seconds faster.
Difference in rear pad wear with pedal dance is very minimum.
Long hold:
EBC BlueStuff, 0.5mm a session.
Power Stop Track Day, 4.5mm a session.
OEM, 1.5mm a session.
A session is 20min.
If anyone know of a better wearing pad, please share.
Back to back session testing, same day at a 1.7 mile track. One tenth slower with pedal dance, so the difference is pretty much a wash. Pedal dance definitely feel more raw. Honda Data LogR S+ rank, driver.
Random data point, on same tires (mine is actually skinner at 235...I am cheap) at the glen, both cars with just front camber increase, fl5 is seven tenth faster than n. Both videos on YouTube if curious.
Different drivers, but talent I would say is similar enough ...
Picture of rotors? Does it look like it has pad material smeared on it? Easy way to clean it is to put a set of new more aggressive pads on and just daily drive it till it's back to normal. Usually in a few weeks. I highly doubt your rotors are warped.
For me, lapping, the best bang for the buck is Goodyear supercar 3....without the r. Using size: 245/40r18. With a 20 percent off coupon, $250 rebate and 4 percent cash back, it comes out to $560 a set (4 tires), mounted.
My go fast tire of choice will be Supercar 3r. Running 265/35r18. Mainly...
