I'm just sad to be back at work. Weekend was fun!

I think I'm gonna do the SCCA autoX in Oakland this weekend and both days of AAS next weekend in Marina. At least I've got some stuff to look forward to.

Brembo BBK? What's MU?

The best front brake kit for the car is Essex Sprint IMO.

FYI someone tested STi brebmos against FR-S stocks and they were only 11% stronger in the front and our rears were actually stronger than STi brembo.

What have you done to the brakes so far for stopping power. There is a shitload you can do to make the stock system super close to what you'd get out of a BBK.

Unless you want the bling.

Project MU is one of the best companies out there for brakes



car currently has upgraded brake pads, line, and fluids.

im running a turbo now so i may require some bigger brakes. and yes i want to cover that gap on my wheels

I'm surprised no one has made carrier for things like cayman 4-pots. So many other cars have this as a cheap BBK because they work with most cars stock sized rotors. You can get them off of wrecked cars for cheap.

Had tickets but unfortunately had to sell them once I realized that it was on mother's day weekend. TBH has not been the same the past couple years without the regulars (Audi, Panoz, etc.). Still fun to watch with Corvette moving to a better class. Was the Delta wings still gonna be there? Really wanted to see that

GT class is where it's at!!! I could car less about P1 (which is getting axed in America next year anyway). GT is sooooo deep right now and has been since 2009/10. Viper vs. Vette vs. Z4 Vs. 458 vs. DBS vs. 911 and I might even be forgetting someone!

The new altered Delta Wing will be there.
