  1. Tracking for the rest of us

    Yeah I tracked mine a few times and realized this platform is gonna be really expensive to build and it's still not going to be fixed at the end unless you straight up build a TCR car... Like you, I picked up an s2000 again to just have as a dedicated track car and picked up a daily/beater as...
  2. FK8 x H&R Springs anyone =?

    I sold my car but my final thought on it is that it doesn't improve/worsen the handling in a meaningful way. If I had to choose based on purely handling, I would keep it stock. I thought getting stiffer springs would help a bit with the body roll at the track but that was not the case. I think...

  5. Optimal rim and tire size?

    Compared to the stock contisport 6's? Because I found that PS4S's are a slight downgrade in mechnical grip compared to the stocks conti's. I would think PSS would have even less grip.. I currently have the PS4S * BMW Spec and those are as close to the stock conti grip levels without going...
  6. NOTCHY, CLUNKY SHIFTS

    You drove the car for 20k miles and never hit WOT? ?
  7. Anyone running anything similar to these ?

    I'm running 19x9.5 +45 (255/35/19), lowered on H&R springs. I don't rub at all anywhere (even under hard cornering at the track). No fender mods. EDIT: Ah damn, just realized you're looking for rim design pics, not fitment pics .. :doh: Jumped the gun because 19's aren't a popular size on...
  8. Track day sunday - stock everything

    I usually start sessions with 30-32 psi front/28-30 psi rear and adjust accordingly after the first session. I think the stock conti's are optimal in the mid 30's range hot (I could be wrong though, maybe someone else can chime in on this?). Because of the roll over issue that others have...
  9. Track Pads and Rotor Compatibility

    Fluid was fresh, was done a few weeks before the track event. Track was Laguna Seca. Okay then it seems like the issue I'm having is definitely related to tire compound. My PS4S's aren't grippy enough to utilize the brakes (hence ABS being triggered just breathing on the pedal). Never thought...
  10. Track Pads and Rotor Compatibility

    I get that but I think what I'm talking about is mostly how it's difficult to modulate the brake once you've finished most of your braking. It's making trail braking really difficult. Additionally, I feel that the P3's, which are suppose to be an upgrade in stopping power from the OEM pads feel...
  11. Track Pads and Rotor Compatibility

    Reviving this to get some more answers regarding track brakes for the Type R... I currently have the Paragon P3's and found that my ABS gets triggered very easily with little to no brake effort. It's made my brakes feel like an on/off switch which is not what most people feel regarding these...
  12. Front Caliper Rebuild

    How do you manage to keep your calipers from discoloring to a dark orange color with all that track braking? Mine are at least a few shades darker now only after 1 track day. I swapped my pads to paragon p3 (winmax w3) and changed to RBF600 fluid too..
  13. How to properly shift smoothly (mainly 1st to 2nd)

    Man, if you think the CTR's 1-2 shifts are rough, try driving any VW with a manual lol Probably the only reason why my love for Golf R's sizzled really quick. I actually wanted a manual Golf R over the CTR when I was in the market ... Until I drove one ? Only gripe I have with the CTR trans is...
  14. FK8 ALIGNMENT

    How much camber are you running in the front vs the back?
  15. Heads up for anyone looking for a CTR

    I would highly suggest against this, especially because of how thin the paint is on our cars. You shouldn't be using any sort of duster on your paint surface if you care about swirls and scratches.
  16. Installing Varis Fender Trim Over Ceramic Coating

    Should be fine as long as you don't have any sealant on. Its definitely not ideal and a professional shop probably wont do it that way but I've seen vinyl wraps on top of ceramic coatings without any issues. YMMV though, I would make sure you do a thorough alcohol wipedown before and test a...
