decodeddiesel's 2020 A90 DD to weekend fun car journey

[decodeddiesel]

Hawk DTC and some have mentioned Endless (I don’t know much about those personally). Paragon can get you by and ofc the pricey CSGs.

Fluid, you know DOT4 will suffice. Castro SRF has a nice wet boiling point. So less to worry about as the season goes on while just bleeding out the dirty fluid.

What DTC combo are you running?

I've been running SRF for all of my HPDEs this year and I've been very happy with it. I actually did a completely unnecessary brake fluid flush about a month ago and it still looked new.

I was recommended the GLOC R16 as an option. Seems in stock.

The R16 looks like it may not work well on the street. I really don't want to swap pads at the track.

Yeah unfortunately the R14 might be too light duty for our 3400+lb cars.

I’m running DTC 60/30s

I’ve yet to have a track pad I didn’t like on the street. Other than some squeal more than others. It’s just not worth swapping, for me. I used to do that… uggggggghhhhhh

That’s great dude!!!!! I think of them like tires. I have ones I prefer. But if another is in stock, they got me to the track. I just happen to prefer the Hawks for price, how long they last, rotor wear. Let us know how you liked em. People swear by that brand!

also, for the external gps, use 3m dual lock to attach to your dashboard, as forward as you can, on the pass side. i run a usb cable to the cig lighter so it turns on with the car.
race Chrono vs catalyst

Peter,

Are you able to do data logging through the app? I tried my OBDLink CX, but it's just not pairing reliably and I'm not getting any data. I know the OBDLink MX+ is really popular on the Race Chrono forum, but I don't want to spend money on something that doesn't work.

Both MX+ and veepeak ble+ works for racechrono. if you come to lrp on any of the 3 events for week of 9/11 we can debug together.

if you can return the cx, i'd recommend it, since mx+ gives me 30hz total to split across however many pids i want ( i choose 10 for speed, 10 for throttle, 5 for iat, 5 for oil)

I'll be there on the 11th. I'll go ahead and order the MX+ since it works for you and the RaceChrono community.

Unfortunately I bought the CX about a week after I bought the car in 2021 so I can't return it. Not a big deal!

Are you using a GoPro too? I'm seriously debating adding one of those as well.

i just use the phone camera, seems to work great



i can bring the veepeak as well for you to try, if it works it's yours. will sign up for 9/11 if forecast shows as clear

Don't worry about the VeePeak, I got the MX+.

I hear you on the weather. Keeping my fingers crossed after the 100 mph slip and slide on Watkins Glen.

Well...At least they're pretty. Looks like I'm doing a brake job tomorrow.

I'm going to keep the old rotors and reuse them with my next set of PMUs. They still look serviceable. I'll take some measurements with a micrometer this weekend to confirm. This will give me a much better idea of pad wear vs. rotor wear.

old rotors look fine

They didn't even come with an air freshener.
