Van, yep it is working now on my Mac...odd very odd...I've run int this lately a few times for some odd reason.

Sin got your PM...thanks. Lots of mods there for sure. You need to go to some Toyo RA1's with the mods you have and since you are using Pagid Yellows. I drive to and from the track on the RA1' no problem. Just get the shaved to 5/32 or you will hate them in the dry for at least 4 track days until you wear them down. R888's full tread were not as bad but still some squirm its just that R888 heat cycle out before the RA1's do.
So with R-Comp Toyo's and fixing a few things on the line and more seat time I know you will bust out a 2:30 no prob.
I'd love to do a track day with you anytimes, we could have a blast!

I think I can get my time to 2:30 with r-compounds (and better weather) no problem... I was pushing the brakes so much. There were some corners where I thought I was going to go off the track. I had to put my whole body weight on the pedal to stop the car!

I don't know what I can do to improve the brakes without switching to a big brake kit...

I'd have to guess that you've been around the track a time or two before.. either that, or you gotta cop on yo' ***...

Great clip.. good driving.. Keep 'em coming.

I threshold brake at 7 a lot and 10 and 17...ABS goes nuts. Sebring is hard on brakes. 1 time I did not get my Pagid Yellows properly bedded in and I had to really stand on them...it was like they had oil or water on them.

A GT3 Cup brake system would be awesome. Getting down into the 2:20-30 times just about requires a big brake kit with cars as heavy as ours.

Trust me, I hear you...

I have thought of purchasing GT3 brake calipers and adding Slotted Girodisc rotors to them. I have no idea how much that project would cost though

Could you go into some detail about the "track tuned" reference in your signature?
