What are you running for brakes? Stock Brembo's with stock pads or upgraded pads?

Yeah there was a guy in my group in a new M4 hitting 140 and it opened my eyes a bit to how fast some cars are getting now. Running Girodisc brakes and CM RF1 brake fluid. Also added small wings to the lower control arm and cut the front backing plates to open up air flow... But I still get a spongy brakes if I go hard for like 8-10+ laps in a row... So I just do cool downs. |

When the Chicago GTR group invaded 3Balls at Grattan I rode with a GTR driver who was hitting 145 in the straight. Opened my eyes, LoL.

Like I mentioned above, front backing plates are cut and I've added small wings to the lower control arms that direct air toward rotor. Not expecting them to be nearly as effective as a full duct setup, but figured it could still help. I never use torque vectoring, not even on street driving. I want to keep pad wear as even as possible and reduce brake dragging. I am also aware of minimizing brake dragging and use while on track. Same brake setup I had when we went to Mid-Ohio last year. I never got soft pedal there though for that event, but weather was cooler from what I remember. |

Buy this $10 tester and check the water content in your reservoir. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I imagine the Group 1 drivers with the NASA TT1/2/3 prepared Corvettes are at or above 145mph. Loads of torque and more than enough tire to slow it down at the end of the straight. |

My manager races a C5 in TT3/ST3. Thanks for that link, I pulled the trigger on one as well, just so I can have an idea. I was just doing one flush per season, and a bleed every event (I only do a few events every season so far) Any of you guys have a good recommendation for a good value temp gun? Is this an accurate way to measure brake temps even though I can't see realtime temps on a hot lap, but would be measuring after a cool down lap and after pulling into pits? Oh, and I'll be doing a track event at Waterford on Aug. 24th. More of you guys should come out then also! First time tracking there, and my friend with the RS and another guy I met at Grattan with an STi will be there as well. Should be fun! |

I bought one of these when I was trying to adjust the various dampers and vents for the HVAC system in my house. Expensive, but reviews suggested good quality and accuracy. It works find for checking temps at the track. You can likely survive with a less accurate version for rotor temps. If it's ±20°F accuracy on rotor temps it won't matter. 1000°F vs. 1020°F is still hot. When dealing with 1~5°F difference in A/C output at home I needed the higher accuracy.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The issue with IR thermometers is averaging over the area of coverage. The farther you are from the object you are measuring the larger the circle / area it's reading. You want to get right up next to the wheel and measure between spokes to get a rotor temp. You can measure yourself when you get back to paddock, or have a friend / helper ready. If you have a helper perhaps you can come off track mid-session and have them meet you and check temps as close to the track exit as the organizers will allow. With 3 Balls @ Grattan they could be standing in the grass near the fuel pump right as you get off track at turn 3. Then you can head straight back to the track entry between turns 4 and 5 to finish off your session. Last edited by Scooby921; 08-10-2018 at 04:32 PM. |

Hey greater Detroit. It’s a long shot but do any of you have an SPT exhaust for a 2011 WRX hatch laying around you’d want to sell? One of my muffler welds apparently broke loose and my muffler is laying somewhere on the side of M5 at the moment. Subaru wants to charge me 801 just for a new muffler portion plus installation.

It's likely already been picked up and turned in to the metal recycler for money.

So, long shot, but does any one want to help me finish my timing by belt install tomorrow (Sunday)?
Or at least have some advice on the order to install the idlers/tensioner? I don’t remember the belt being so tight when I put this last one on. |
