Got a track related question? I'll try to answer.

I have an early build BRZ 04/12, but when I called the dealer about getting a reflash they said there are no open recalls. Is the factory tune separate from that?

There is no factory "fix" for it that is retroactive. Having a fix would also mean that Toyota/Subaru is admitting that there is fault.

I haven't attempted any record laps with the JRSC on.

Well...you better get to it!

I've just swapped the street pads back on after a track day, but these left some grooving on the rotors. Should I still do the same bedding process on an imperfect rotor? Also, any noticeable difference in pedal quality between two person bleeding and using a motive pressure bleeder?

Thanks

I had EBC Yellow on my Accord that is only a DD and I thought they were trash.

Try something else IMO

Haha ...if I was rich or owned some big parts company, I'd def be your sponsor

What are everyone else's times at SOWS CW?? Please state if NA or SC/FI.

...I am sure there's a lot of really talented drivers here, especially from all the vids/discussions out there

For an early car that falls into the affected di seal range would an updated flash from toyota(scion) be ok on track or is an aftermarket tune the safer route?

Also, roughly what's the fuel consumption per 20 min. session with 91 tune and e85?

Thanks



Thanks

Fuel consumption is track dependent, can be anywhere from 15% to 25% of the total fuel capacity per session. You will use more fuel on tracks where you spend more time at WoT.

Will the stock pads hold up for one HPDE weekend? I don't expect to have them much after that but I was curious about whether or not it will be a necessity to have my track pads before the event.

I think they will survive the weekend, but you will likely have fade issues. I was able to fade them by the middle of each session on my first track weekend ever.

On another note, I see you are local. What event are you doing?

Even if you get an updated tune, you may have latent damage. With fresh seals and an updated tune, you should be okay.

Fuel consumption is driver and track dependent. We observe about 3.5-4MPG on track. With E85, expect that to be lower by 30% or so.

We ALWAYS recommend mixing in some 100 unleaded if you are tracking. It is cheap insurance.
