I don't. They still have a 5gal left at that NW solvent store if I need to pick one up.

I have a gas can but I'll have gas in it. You can't pour from the VP container into car. Might be able to with a large funnel.

digital_assassin · 10-03-2014, 08:26 PM

Anybody have track pads that they can loan / rent? Mine are shot.

Decay107 · 10-03-2014, 08:44 PM

^ was going to ask the same thing, I suspect mine are similar.

torqdork · 10-03-2014, 09:00 PM

Stock pads only, sorry.

Any of these marked Prime that are sold and shipped by Amazon could be at your doorstep tomorrow.

Edit: Link fubared, enter "racing brake pads" at the Amazon search bar then filter by FR-S and you'll see a few choices that might work.

BRZPDX · 10-03-2014, 09:30 PM

I have OEM pads somewhere too..

torqdork · 10-03-2014, 09:44 PM

OEM pads aren't happy at PIR though.

Andrew025 · 10-03-2014, 10:04 PM

Yeah, even on my first day out I started to experience fade toward the end of the day on stock pads.

Decay107 · 10-03-2014, 10:41 PM

Looks like I have about 40% remaining (4-5mm), probably even across all pads considering I rotate after each event.

Should get me through the morning sessions and at least one of the afternoon sessions, but if someone could bring along a set of stock pads they don't care too much about I'd be willing to help you turn them into wheeldirt.

Also @torqdork couldn't seem to find any brake pads on amazon that had Saturday shipping as an option.

torqdork · 10-03-2014, 10:59 PM

Ah crap, must have missed their cutoff for overnight shipping. It was available when I first searched.

I'll be trying to sell the car next week so will need the OEM pads.

Gresham Toyota has a set of OEM's in stock.

digital_assassin · 10-04-2014, 01:26 PM

Josh loaned me his Carbotech AX6 pads that I'll use in a pinch. I found a set of Hawk HP+ for an Impreza that should work. I'm going to check them out at noon. I'll let you know if they have more Doug.

stockysnail · 10-04-2014, 01:42 PM

I have a set of nearly new oem pads if anyone needs them.

digital_assassin · 10-04-2014, 05:37 PM

PRE only had one set of pads.

digital_assassin · 10-04-2014, 05:43 PM

Pads for the WRX have identical measurements so that's what I'm trying out. Hb432n.611 vs hb711n.611. 1 Hundredths of an inch smaller so should slap right in.
