I also installed StopTech slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads at all four corners, and flushed the brake system with MOTUL 600 Pumpkin Spice DOT4 brake fluid.

Next up, unfortunately, is a winter wheel swap... :/

Track day, bro. Another weekend at Texas World Speedway. Didn't set any lap records this time, but learned a lot and had a lot of fun.



Tires started feeling a little less reliable throughout the second day. And then I went full code-brown (skip to 4:50):

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YOo0uZmrF0&t=4m50s"]TWS with TDE 10/23/16 - last session drift - YouTube[/ame]

And this may explain why I was having issues. I think my tires were underinflated and just generally wearing out.

Dropped the car off at the body shop to get the APR front splitter and side extensions installed. Also fixed the Kartboy short shifter so it can be reinstalled before heading to SEMA next week.

Was at a stop light and while it was raining and slick a truck came up behind me and locked up his brakes and ran into me.
