I don't have any of that equipment exactly, but I will speak highly of having a cone-shaped brush for wheels like you have pictured. No matter what any wheel cleaner spray says, you simply cannot get brake dust and other grime off just a spray-on cleaner. A medium stiffness brush like that...

One of the old rules of thumb with pad deposits is to grab a set of most any Hawk race pads and use them for a session or two to essentially resurface the rotor. Then bed in the new pads as if the rotors were brand new. It's kind of an expensive way to operate, but I've done that with DTC-60s...

I have a big AFE Control front sway bar with stock end links. I have it set on the middle hole, and it's fine. I'm replacing the end links with adjustables so I can move it around to the other settings without binding. Honestly, I haven't even tried the other holes on the sway bar to see if...

I ran a 275/35/18 ECS02 on an 18x10.5 and it didn't seem stretched. Sidewalls were pretty square with the edge of the rim. The PS4S was on another car (Cayman), and I don't remember the fitment.

I'm going to assume you're referring to the Continental ECS02 (vs the ECF) I have almost apples to apples comparison of what you are looking for. A Michelin PS4S and a Conti ECS02 are VERY similar tires. Noise level, ride, overall grip, ability in the rain. I can't speak to longevity, as I...

This doesn't "fix" your problem, but the P4S is an interesting tire, and there are a bunch of variations of it (tread compounds, etc.) because it's the OEM tire for a lot of sporty cars. You may very well have 2 different variations of the tire between front and back. When you say the rears...

*SOLD* I have 4 used 275/35/18 GY Supercar 3 tires taking up space in the basement and no plan to use them. Manufacture date is April '21. They're track tires and have some wear on the outside edges from a camber-challenged WRX, but plenty of life left. They've been stored in a climate...

Like many others have said, it's a bedding issue, or in this case, lack thereof. I will say that the CSGs can kind of re-bed themselves. I just leave the track pads in my car all the time these days, so sometimes the pads will be just street use for months. Front brakes start to squeal, and...

Who here gets happy when Bryan posts pics of his car :-D. I'm seriously considering a set of those same 18x11 Hypergrams for my car as I am doing some other upgrades (coilovers, LCAs). I'd need to do some horse trading to make it happen, though. I have (6) 18x10.5 et 35 TSW Kemora, all with...

I have a set still in box beside me...haven't opened them yet. Thanks for sharing. I'm liking the decision to go Verlkine more and more.

You're a big dude...and I'm not, so I'll pick someone else to scream at. :cool: No matter how bad the situation, that's not an acceptable response. If you're really that angry, take it to the steward of the meet and alert them. Let a cooler headed SOM manage the situation.

That is how it should be done. Kudos to that guy. Stuff happens, but how you handle it afterwards makes a mountain of difference.

Yikes...that's sketchy. "Run group rules are X, unless it's an instructor, then Y"...not sure I'm crazy about that. Most clubs just use the ruleset for the lowest experience rungroup on track at the time, regardless of who the driver is. I've run with WDCR SCCA quite a few times, and felt...

As Bryan is meticulous about data, he's gonna be the last one that says "install intake [brand/model here] and you'll make [gratituous HP/TQ claims] like I did!" The question is...what is the power level where the stocker becomes a restriction? (NOTE: I'm not asking Bryan to provide a...

4900 miles in 10 days...twice. Longest commute in a single day on those trips, about 700 miles. Cram the car with a subset of your track tools, an extra wheel/tire, helmet and driving suit (for 2), clothes and toiletries (for 2), and a couple of laptops.

^^^This^^^ I don't think it will be "immediately die in a fire" bad, but I think it will make the car understeer a bunch.

My use case may not be quite relevant...but I've run several of the tires discussed on a couple of different cars in the last 3 years. My $.02 - Michelin PS4S - Did OneLap in a Cayman S on these. Road manners were the best, quiet, good in the rain, sidewalls not terribly stiff. On track...

Triggered auto Supra owner here ?

Just ran a set of them in One Lap of America. Started with brand new tires in April '24, did 2 track days, approximately 4000 street miles, 6 One Lap time trial days, 100% used up. After I finished the skidpad on the last day of OLOA, I drove right into the TireRack customer center and had a...

hubcentric vs not...that's a religious discussion that has been argued MANY times on the intarwebz in my many years behind the keyboard. My $.02 - It keeps you from making a mistake. Can you mount a wheel and have it be perfectly smooth and safe without a hub to mount to? Yes. Is it easier...
