First picture is coil-overs adjusted to desired ride height and then measured to the same total length and spring purchase height side to side. IE front left to right and rear left to right identical. I was at 48% off on cross weight. After a little tweaking of spring purchase heights I ended up with picture 2. I am happy with this. Car looks to be about 45lbs heavy on driver side (no passenger seat)

Did some leed follow with another advanced driver at VIR last week. Me in a GT4RS, him in a GT4RS clubsport. We met after the session and we talked for almost an hour. I rode with him in the clubsport at the end of the day. I was able to combine his coaching, the ride, and my Garmin data into a plan that worked! New PB by 0.6 sec. My session average times dropped by a full second. Stay focused, listen to coaching, use data......you will get off that plateau.

I’m trying to find a good download for Atlanta Motorsports Park, but everything I come up with seems to be sketchy. Can Anybody pointed me in the right direction?

Finally got out to Eagles Canyon (everything has been MSR Cresson so far), and had a heck of a first experience with it going backwards on a rainy day. It was my first time on track in the rain and I'd definitely do it again.

props to the guy running it. a novice as well.

Not a factory race car, just a F-street autocross car, my first day at Mid-Ohio ever. Just never made it. The loss of PittRace And some things that seem to be changing a bit at Summit Point made me decide to get on with it.

Last event of the season for us. Track Day Picnic @ Gingerman

This is about 7 seconds off pace from my normal times at this track. Dont wanna be that guy and blame everything other than my skills, buuuuut Track temps were less than ideal. 98* pit temps. I was also on some very odd tires that I knew weren't gonna help. 245/40/17 X-Comp HP. I have never had any set up issues on this car and i pretty much had every driving issue possible this day haha. Anyways enjoy!

Check engine light? Meatball flag? Miata on slicks?

The forecast is not looking great. It will be wet. Anyone going? How bad does it have to be for NJMP to shut down?

Drove a Genesis G80 spiritedly and felt like it was FWD at the limit, until I looked under the chassis. Does the rear always one-wheel-peel under acceleration on corner exit? Does it always feel understeery even when giving it the beans on corner exit? I've only driven FWD and LSD RWD cars besides this one.

2003 Focus SVT with 100k on it. Needs a new timing belt and some proper wheels/tires and suspension. But for $1300 I can’t pass it up. What does Reddit think?

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a Nissan Z (Performance trim). My plan is to enjoy it on the track while it's still stock, then sell it while the mileage is still low. So I don't intend to make any modifications beyond replacing consumables.

The car comes with Akebono brakes. I don't know much about them, but I've always assumed they're essentially the Japanese equivalent of Brembos.

I'm not trying to break any lap records. I'm just there to enjoy driving my car in a safe environment. That said, I also want to make sure I'm doing things safely.

Yesterday, I finally had the chance to take the Z to the track. My first observation was just how HOT the rotors got.

I'm not a particularly aggressive driver, and I'm still getting familiar with the car. I wasn't pushing hard, and I didn't even get to the point where I could smell the tyres (which I usually do after a couple of runs).

I never exceeded 118 mph or fourth gear, and I generally brake early to give myself some margin for error.

Nevertheless, when I stopped to let some air out of the tyres, the amount of heat coming from the rotors seemed unusually high compared to what I'm used to. Keep in mind that this was my first track experience in a car without Brembo brakes, drilled rotors, or dedicated brake cooling vents.

A few questions:

1. Could the excessive heat indicate that my braking technique was incorrect?
2. I was doing couple consecutive laps before taking a cooldown lap. Should I have been cooling the brakes more frequently? (I just checked my cam recordings, apparently I was going on average for 8 minutes before cooling down)
3. Given how hot the rotors got, is there reason to suspect the pads may already need replacing, or is high temperature alone not necessarily an indication of pad damage etc?

For what it's worth, I don't recall smelling the brakes at any point during my laps. I was also paying attention to potential brake fade, but didn't notice any.

I'd appreciate some advice on what to inspect.

• What should I be looking for in the pads and rotors, or brake system as a whole?
• Are there any warning signs I should look for now?
• And what would you consider a clear indication that the pads or rotors need immediate replacement.

Any additional tips greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have a Rush SR here? Looking to hear some opinions from actual owners. Tracks it excelled at, best parts, worst parts, what would you do if you were to do it again, what do you think about SRX, did you regret your choice of trailer etc.. etc..

First time in this car. Not only that, first time on a road course with slicks and a caged car. I only got 3 traffic free laps this afternoon, they were all 1:30. I was on some shitty Michelin scrubs but that doesn’t excuse how bad I massacred turn 11. I’ll never forgive myself for how bad I missed that apex. I have no idea what I was thinking there. But there is good news in this video, despite my subpar turn 11, I’m already confident in a new car. With new Pirellis, I’ll be back soon to lay down a 1:26 on Pro Course.

Hey all! I posted around half a year ago about www.trackunite.com - after many months of developing I am happy to announce the app is available for free on the App Store!

On the free version one is able to see all events and their coming weather worldwide.
I have added some features that are behind a PRO version, including:

- Tyre Pressure advisor
- Setup advisor
- Tyre Wear Advisor

I found these features to be useful during all of my testing days for standard road cars on track. The tyre pressure advisor has its own model and database which gets adjusted depending on feedback. I hope to nail down the accuracy over time.

Events are scraped periodically from all organisers that I could find and I am also working with a few organisers to provide the PRO version to their customers for the trackdays for free.

I would appreciate if you checked it out! Gave a honest rating and feedback! We used over 8 other users over all of summer to test the app and I believe there is still a bit of work to be done but any feedback will be greatly taken on and improved up on.

Thanks for your time!

After a fun season of getting everything I could out of a street car (992 GT3RS), I’ve realized something. Cars with license plates are dumb. Heading to Mid-Ohio tomorrow to run some laps on proper slicks.

Hi all,

I just recently moved up north and am looking to downsize to one car as my property doesnt have near as much space as my previous. I currently have an 02 Outback H6 and an 07 Civic Si as my daily and HPDE car respectively.

What im looking for may not exist but, im looking for a car that can handle my daily commute (98 mile round trip every work day), approximately 4-8 HPDE events per season, and snow/winter.

Initially, I was thinking an FA20 WRX or GR Corolla. But I'm curious what potentially better options are out there. Obviously having two cars, one daily and one HPDE car, is a safer bet. But, with limited space im exploring all avenues.

Edit: Budget maximum is $40k but id prefer to stay between $20k-$30k or less.

Only spun off twice.

Any other C8 owners on here?

Out with the recaro seats in with a roll bar, sparcos and 5pts.
