Had a blast and really like your new look- I think the yellow headlights helped get you into the 1:40 mark.

Serious note- your new rollbar is awesome! The full setup seats/straps will be awesome. After this exhaust install that's next for me as well.

Anyone familiar with what is "acceptable" for the amount a tire can rotate on a rim?

I tried lower tire pressure on my R6's, had some understeer early in the sessions, felt better in the afternoon. Had 1.0" to 1.5" tire rotation the front wheels and 4.0" to 4.5" on the rear wheels.

I had BRRacing in Los Gatos install some new Pagid RS19's pads up front which produced some initial "bedding-in: issues Saturday morning (front wheel lock-up and ABS kicking in). I was able to do a 100 miles or so on Sat (true bedding-in sessions) and another 50-60 on Sunday. Monday on the way down to LS I did a few more hard braking test under safe and clear conditions; still had a little grabbing and lock-up on the fronts. Once on track I tested the waters during S1 and everything was very smooth, thus allowing me confidence in the system/work done.

Had issues with the built in "G-meter" almost all day on T8a and T10, meaning the car shutting off // no power.

Overall the car felt good even though I still have a couch for a drivers seat. : )

Haha- at least you can fake some fantastic pics... take for example that pair of turbos- that was another great day at the track!

She goes in for custom bar, euro GT3 seats, harnesses, and Speedtech 3.0 on Thursday, can hardly wait!

Vid- your current seats are awesome compared to my "comfort" lawn chairs I have in my car. All about to change however.

You are probably running the pressure too low because that is pretty excessive slippage. You also run the risk of popping a bead with too low pressure.

Was there any pad bedding done before you started to hammer them at the track? If you hammer them straight away you run the risk of glazing them.

Typically you run the car up to about 50-60mph and firmly apply the brakes (not hard, just firm) and scrub about 25-35mph off and then repeat 3-4 times letting the pads cool a bit between runs. After that give them a hard brake test and you should be good to go.

Love the Fiat Abarth commercial but the NSX/Seinfeld/Leno commercial is MY favorite.

I got caught up in doing some internet browsing and the next thing I know it's after 4. I'll usually force myself to get in bed by 3.

If you haven't had enough ****tails AND you're still able to walk at that hour, come on over.

Not any more...which is why I never play before 9:30 except once a year in the Club Championship which starts at 8:00.

The Club Championship is held in March of each year before people leave to head back north for the summer. They do have a couple of funky tournaments late in the year but this is the only individual gross score tourney.
