This is Jon with DGM BRZ full of stickers, I was doing tech when you came thru.

Likewise.

I didn't record any video from the morning hpde, just data but here is a vid from my second fastest run. Completely blew turn 6 though.

Also the throttle and rpm feed flaked out partway through....I certainly didn't coast into 3.

Ferodo Pads are expensive, no way to get them cheaper really. $129 actually seems cheap. If you want to save some money, look at HP+ I have them for my street pads. I have 6 hpde/15 autox days, and a bunch of street miles. Fronts are at about 1/3 rears still over 1/2. Have a second set of used ones for when I destroy these. ahah.

Used rotors are a waste of money. Buy centric blanks off amazon.

(Just curious if you've dabbled in weight reduction. Im not complaining or trying to blow a whistle. You would be one less driver to have to beat ^_~ )

It would be pretty hard to get a FRZ into light, need at least 140-170lbs removed depending on the model, with no added weight from other items. Plus, he should likely read the rules to determine what class that car is actually in with all those fancy toys he has

Ive read that their dust is corrosive and plenty. I initially planned on going with those but after reading that they make a ton of corrosive dust, scar your rotors, and dont last very long, the extra money for ferodos lasting longer and doing less damage while performing better seems to make the extra $20-$40 justifiable

Yeaaah good call. Are centric blanks really that much of an upgrade over stock? I was planning on doing at least slotted but I havent delved too far into this yet.

Noted in green

Fyi, brake dust actually comes from the rotor, not the pad itself. More aggressive pads create more friction on the rotor and actually "flake" off metal from the rotor. More aggressive pad... More dust.

I'm running HP+ and I've run them on the last two cars. I definitely want to try some different brands of pads some time, just haven't had time to research.

I run Centric cryo treated blanks and carbotech xp10 front, xp8 rear. Stock calipers. My brakes FAR over power my ZIIss.

Not really, no. I was debating starting a MN 86 group.

Actually, I think most of these folks are from the Dakotas too lol

MNSubiez on Facebook is a complete shi*t show if you ask me. It seems like every other post is, "I have this check engine light. What's wrong with my car? Is it ok to drive it?" Gets tiring.

I think the MNSubaru crowd is a hair more mature(?) and intelligent...just don't ask about stancing your car lol.

[KevinK121]

Yeah its actually a lot better than the usual fb car pages. Not saying much, I know.

[Vic91]

we should organize one!lets meet up!shoutout to all Minnesota 86 owners here!

[jdnguyen]

The Dakotas are better 😜
