I have had my beast at the track a few times now. Starting to mess with the setup which is half the fun. I was wondering about having a thread for people that track their cars? I know from my research that there are a few that take there beasts to the track. It is really what these cars are meant to do.
I put in some EBC yellow stuff pads and so far they have been good. No fade at the track and just a bit of squeaking just before the car stops on the street. I would rate them as comparable to Hawk HP+. The cool carbon S/T pads were better on the street. The hard part is finding the same brand and style for the front and rear. After these are gone I may opt for a dedicated track pad and swap them out on the days I go.
The car is really showing the need for camber. The outside of the fronts are gone, I run the tires at 50psi hot. I just discovered that if you pull the pin on the strut tower there is more camber to be had. It kind of pisses me off that I didn't figure it out sooner. I may buy some Kmac camber plates or some lower strut are bushings that are adjustable. Hopefully someone will pop in with some feedback? I am concerned about moving one point on the lower end VS. the whole upper end. -2.5 deg seems to be the limit for a combo car.
Trying to get the fast attack tune in right now and I have an occasional problem with the engine going into limp mode at the end of the straight. For tires I and running conti extreme sport contacts, no complaints for a performance street tire. When they are gone I might look at some Toyo track tires, I see them on a lot of cars.
Well there it is for a start. We'll see who is out there? Some track feedback would be cool too. I'm heading to Pacific on Friday for the first time in this car and PIR on the 5th for the first time on that track.
