FRS at VIR
 
bone stock fast lap is 2:24.83. Driven by Mike Skeen. Put over 80 laps on the car. Stock pads are done. Time to pack out up. One more session tho. I really like this car. But definitely needs brakes. Tires aren't bad for the power. Pics and vid to follow. Got Mike's hot lap and I know its gonna stand for a while here.

Won't be driving my car for a few days now until I get new pads on. Was kinda scary driving all the way back with only rear brakes.

That laptime sounds right in line with what I would expect, having just driven ours at PBIR this weekend. Mike is megafast, I actually co-drove with him at VIR a few years ago.

We didn't try the factory pads, but on a max performance street tire, under 2:20 might be in the realm of possibility.

What pads should I try for the next event. Probably gonna be Atlanta motor sports park or Carolina.

You should come to Atlanta Motorsports Park this weekend as I would like to check out the car. I will be there for the AutoX on Saturday.

Any place to get details about the AutoX. If I'm available I might want to slide by. Do they allow spectators only? Never been to an event.

The ATL region SCCA autox uses soloatlanta as their website for announcing schedules, events, etc.

I'm a fan of Hawk. Not sure if they are making pads for the FR-S yet. HPS will work wonders, but if you want the best go for HP+. Just be aware that those will be extremely dirty and sound like dying babies anytime you touch the stop pedal!

I'm not new to race pads. I smile at the squeal.

80 laps on the stock pads...

**Obama face**

How was the brake feel in the later stages? Any fade? Cooked brakes?

How did you temps look?

BadCompany235 06-05-2012 08:12 AM

yeah brakes are toast. limped home with the rear drums. they didn't fade badly but they lost initial bite. but they never gave up. didn't do acquisition on temps but never had any overheating. only thing that suffered that i can tell so far was the brakes. but that's an easy fix.

Good stuff guys!

Let me know if you need help on brakes. We have options from top manufacturers. You can see my post elsewhere on this topic. We have race compounds, SS brake lines will likely be done later this week...and the full competition brake system shown below will be coming very soon. You can see details on comparable systems for some other vehicles on our site.,.check out our Lancer Evo application as an example. Focus will be on light weight, durability, and low long-term ownership costs under harsh track conditions. More details to come... :D

Forgot to say to the original poster...we are in Charlotte, NC if you guys are interested in visiting and seeing these parts firsthand.
