Sounds like he's just confusing a weird interpretation of "the agreement" from the 80s and the dot requirement that tires are rated for top speed, and that the car is drag limited.

I've tried blues and yellows, I would never ever run yellowstuff on the track again, bluestuffs were decent but despite the noise and dust, I really think the hp+ were the best in the rear for me.

In my experience the stock rear pads did not hold up to a weekend at the track, they had reasonable bite but they went extremely fast, especially with nannies on. Personally I really like to run hawk hp+ on the rears. Good bite, extremely long lasting, only downside is they eat the rotor, but...

Yeah man, once it happens, and you're out 600 minimum it starts getting easier to justify a set of 18s. Sorry this happened to you but it's only a matter of time with those profile tires. Believe me it'll happen again if you stick with the 20s and low profiles

The tires with no sidewall feel extremely responsive but also are expensive, to buy and get installed (I used to go to dub shop because nobody around me had a machine that took 20+ inch low pro installs) wear fast, and are fragile. I think a lot of us move into something more comfortable...

Indeed if anyone plans to stick to the 20s for dailying, I would absolutely step up to 35 for the sidewall. At least if you live somewhere with less than perfect roads. The fk8 confuses me sometimes because you can just tell it wasn't built with perfect roads in mind, yet the wheel and tire...

I've run the apex ec7 18x9.5 for my last four track seasons and I do like them far better than the stock setup. First and foremost for me, I could never get the stock size to not rollover on the sidewalls really bad during intense cornering. Add to that, in practice for a daily driver that...

It's kinda fun to watch his misadventures, does anyone have any links to silly crap he's said? That could be a good time.

My front driver bearing went bad at around 65k, didn't really have the normal tells, it was loose up and down instead of side to side, very obvious off the car, not so much on the car. Trying to wiggle the wheels showed zero play, the only real signs were the bad feeling under power and noise.

Man, enjoy! These wheels have been fantastic for me. What tires are you gonna run?

Dude never cowtow to threats from guys like this. Businesses like this are dime a dozen in the car world, I remember this dude named Joe from the Saturn world who would sell people bum engines and threaten them with some shady ass legal shit if they complained about thrown rods. You honestly...

It's especially easy to do in these cars, either misjudging where 3rd or 4th ends on the freeway, or not cutting enough speed for a 4 to 3 on track. I guess a good thing about leaving rev match on is that you get the warning of instantly rocketing up to 7k and have a tiny window of time to pull...

Personally I feel as though the hvi and associated sounds threw off my driving at first, I started going for sound rather than proper driving. In terms of actual results, I got a new nelsons PB this last season with the HVI and hood louvers vs stock intake. So at worst it was just a noise...

I paid a bunch of money for an intake and cut holes in my hood before I could hear the turbo spool, I'm a little jealous that a boost leak will do it for free.

Nice! I daily mine too and haven't had any issues yet, but was starting to wonder, especially now that I'll have it sitting at the office for 8 to 10 hours and the hood is more holy than ever. I like your setup it looks sharp!

Hey @siwelnosaj how are those side louvers with regard to snow? I installed a central race spec louver a year ago and it didn't cause any real issues sitting out in the snow, this year I added the two side louvers, and they sit kinda close to the ecu and coolant tanks, I live in the snow belt...

I tried EBC yellowstuff this season on my 18. In the past I tended to swap rotors once a season all around, the yellowstuff didn't lip or crack the rotors like hawks did, they also didn't fade, but I felt even properly bedded they didn't have ample bite for pitt race. Next year I'm probably...

I'm impressed, there is even a video howto showing how to do it on page 1, I'd be willing to bet that sequence is very familiar to a lot of fk8 owners, I'm very curious if replacing stuff will fix it

"Just stick it in, don't pull it out and move it around, don't play with it, just stick it in and leave it in" constantly fiddling around rowing gears at a stop I'm 90% sure is why it always happens to me. I wonder if the newer model year cars and fl5 don't do it. Also sometimes wonder if...
