Holy shit just looked up those Endless MX72 brake pads and they're not cheap. Is this your first time trying them? Ive been researching dual duty daily and autocross pads. I've had PMu HC+800 which were good but after going back to stock pads, I love the no noise and dust. Thinking about trying Carbotech AX6

Autocross event #7 26 August 2017

what more can i say but crappy driving, I was off course all 3 run, sloppy 4th. and I did a hero lap on my last run which is enough to land me in 3rd place in my class.

Big track day coming up on the 16th, and with my engine being at 86k, it's better be safe than sorry to change out the spark plug.

But Jesus Christ 4 spark plugs come up to $120 CAD, that is straight up robbery



Also been eyeing these as well. I have no harness and getting the seat belt to lock before driving onto the track is getting annoying But it come out to $100 after shipping so no thank you for me. Way too expensive for my budget

These could be worth looking into: https://www.amazon.com/Metal-Seat-Be...seat+belt+clip

OEM wheels look good. What did you paint them with? No center caps ballin'. I'm afraid that running no center cap might make the axle nuts seize from rust and shit. Looks cool though.

I got really good deal on them,
they were professionally powder coat a very nice Bronze matte finish by the previous owner, with tires and wheel i paid 450 CAD, so about 380 US altogether. It came with scion center caps but i said fuck that and rock no center caps, I prefer the no center cap looks, make it more race car looking.

Nothing major, just basic maintenance
Changed out the spark plug at 85k KM
Since I have a 2013, my damper are about 5 years old with almost a 100k on them.

Toyota revise the suspension for 15/16, then finally did another revision for the new 2017. I picked up a set of OEM suspension from a 2017 gt86 that was on the car for a bout a Month. for a really good deal

Next year I will swap the RCE Yellow over to the 17 Dampers, Hopefully I can get Raceseng top hat to more camber adjustment. Also can't forget RLCA to dial back out the rear camber.
