I'm sure you are right. I typically follow the pad manufacturer's procedure; and I have seen some significantly different ones, which is why I was wondering where the OEM pad falls on the spectrum. My DBA street pads for my WRX say 10 stops from 30 mph; and then no hard braking for 100 miles...
I always assumed that was for new owners since it refers to the break-in period of the car in general, and they had already done some kind of bedding procedure. But maybe they do nothing off the production line.
Yeah, I've seen that thread, and even commented in there. As far as I can tell, no one has tried it. Though it sounds like people think it would be too heavy. But more generally searching the web, I've seen stuff like this, which makes me think it might be doable:
Anyone know what the official pad bedding procedure is for the OEM pads? I'm familiar with all sorts of bedding procedures as described by pad manufacturers (and by people in various threads i searched), but I would like to know what the 'official' OEM procedure is. Best I could find in the...
Here is a link to that session from my POV:
I think you are in view pretty much from the beginning with a few cars in-between. I start getting closer around 5:25.
I couldn't get my trackaddict to work all weekend, so I don't actually know what times I was running. I poked around in my videos...
I emailed the David Miller since he is listed as event organizer (I think Joe is chief instructor, but I don't have his info) and asked about it. He said that in the combined instructor/intermediate groups anyone can give a point by anywhere, but that the instructors have X's so that you can...
Thanks, I appreciate that :)
Oh boy, that Orange Camaro was one of the slowest things I've ever seen. I just about got rear ended by the car behind me when I came up on him.
This was in session 4 on Saturday. The BMW driver came and found me after and to make sure we were cool. And we were...
I simplified the explanation some. The point by anywhere is for combined instructor/intermediate sessions only, which this session was not. The instructor cars are marked with X's, I *think* they are still the only ones allowed to give points anywhere even in those sessions.
I've also heard...
This was one of my exciting moments of the weekend:
Intermediate group. Point-bys only for designated straights, unless the pointing car is an instructor. He pointed left entering the turn. He must have thought I would overtake mid turn, but since that is not allowed, I interpreted his...
You can get shorter studs, that would probably look better. These are 90mm, they have 75mm as well. I got the longer ones as I wasn't sure where I would end up with spacers.
