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

Hopefully someday soon, someone will make a device or tune that will completely and permanently disable all aids, tc, vsc, ice mode, etc...leaving you with a fully analog rwd drivetrain (sans abs).

It won't kick in under normal circumstances.

I can only make it happen if I'm going out of my way to force it

This unit has some, and maybe all, of that functionality: http://www.motec.com/m1package-86/m1package-86overview/

Which corner was it? I got it in turn 11(?) last 180 before the pit exit and start/finish.


Sent from a secret volcano base using trained sharks

The sweeping right, two turns before the main straight.

It's weird I never felt the car braking the rear wheel, but I'll try the pedal dance next time.

Hey mike, I have a set of 17x7.5 wheels on stock suspension. Should I be using 215/45 or 225/45 tires on track?

I would say 225 but it also depends on what tires you are using.

I've been running Bridgestone s04's.

I'd stick to 215 regardless of model.

How long can I expect my stock pads to last for lapping? (I know this is a pretty generic question) Stock power only wheel tire and suspension mods.

100% dependent on you and your experience.

For me, they would fade in about 3-5 turn depending on the track, and be completely destroyed in a few laps.

I REALLY don't recommend you even attempt to track on stock pads and fluid.

Damn I don't really think ill be able to get pads by the time the day comes. I have fluid already.

IMHO a 7.5" rim will accommodate a 225 splendidly. However look at specs on the rolling diameter between a 215/45 and 225/45. You might find the rolling diameter changes and thus may want to opt for a 225/40.

3-4 laps with aids turned on. Maybe 6-7 laps with them turned off before fade. Figures will vary depending on temperature of day and braking requirements of track. With stickier tires and better suspension.. maybe less. The OEM brakes are pretty good, the OEM pads are absolutely not but that's usually the norm for any car.

Also the OEM pad material has a high wear rate at those temps. I've done very lapping in my unmodified FRS but I had to replace my front pads at 20k miles. Needless to say I didn't buy another set of OEM pads, but an aftermarket OEM-ish ceramic pad.
