*Spotted* GTA FR-S/BRZ Sightings

Thanks for the advice guys. Does warranty get sacrificed in any way of course given that I don't crash? I do wanna get better at driving right away but I just sold my ep3 too lol so I'll need to run hard on my 3 month old 86 lol

Warranty topic is touchy.

FWIW, there was a Scion Canada employee at the SPDA event

Just don't go balls to the wall and you'll be fine. Learn the limits of your setup and skills before you push the car harder

Generally unless you're doing something really stupid with the car, no. You will have to replace your brakes and tires sooner than you likely originally planned :p

Stock tires and brakes ok for this purpose?

Yep, you'll need to limit to 5-8 laps per stint for the stock brakes, just so you don't overheat them too much. I used mine for 5 track days and ~30-40k. At the last track day, I overcooked the front rotors (totally my fault for going way hard) to the point where I had to get them replaced, and obviously the pads. Obliterated my rear tires that day too (lots of drifting) and so I picked up a full new set of our tires from a friend for pretty cheap. Only replaced the front tires about a month ago from that set.

The stock tires are pretty fun too. They have a fair amount of grip, but you can also get sideways fairly easily if you're inclined to!

I was OK with enough cool down between laps, however my pads and fluid were aftermarket

Is this the "spotted" thread or the "track day" discussion?

Definitely do some autox or track on the stock tires. They're WAY better to learn the balance of the car than by jumping right to sticky tires.

Depending on your skill level, you're probably fine for the first couple track events on stock pads/fluid if you're running stock tires. You can definitely over heat them once your skills improve, but unless you're a huge natural, you shouldn't be driving that hard the first day on the track.

Check out the SPDA autoslalom school in the spring (usually late aprilish), Hanson schools or the OTA school (typically early may).

Haha I don't care. Just messin' around.

I still have not been to a single Wednesday night meet yet and I'm ashamed of that. I was going to potentially come out tomorrow but the Leafs season opener is on...maybe I'll swing down after.

They're all wrapped up for the season.
