thanks, good input

Not sure what ones to go with. I have been looking the Whiteline, EVS and the Megan. The Hardrace ones are all out of stock.

Planning on installing the offset camber joints myself on the FK8 to dial in more camber for the track. Has anyone installed them? I am wondering how you know how much camber to set them at with the offset plates they use to get it close for final adjustment occurring at the alignment shop. For...

We drive at the Ridge in Washington state and so far heat has not been an issue. Most likely because we have been lucky it's never been too hot of a day. Today it was really hot out and I hope it's not a sign for what this summer holds! We also usually don't drive the full 20 minute session...

Looking for comments from people who track their FK8 who have done suspension mods or turbo mods and any other stuff in their opinion with the best shit to pay ratio on if they are worth it. Currently track a ‘20 CTR with downpipe, front mount, exhaust, dyno tune, 18' Titian 7 wheels and R...

thanks, appreciate it!

Anybody replace the rotors only keeping the exiting hats? Tracked the CTR enough to need new rotors this coming season and I want to replace the rotors and not the hats. Any recommendations of companies that sell just the rotors? Also, I am looking for the specs for how many inch pounds...

As a HPDE driving instructor these "what car is faster" scenarios drive me crazy. On most tracks that have a mix of straight line sections, fast corners and slow corners its knowledge of the track and driver skill that make the biggest difference. I have owned and tracked a lot of cars. Two...

Anyone out there know a good shop for CTRs in the greater Seattle area? I tag team a CTR with my son at the Ridge and Pacific Raceway. We are looking for a shop that knows CTRs for regular maintenance work. We do our our work for some things like Brakes but we still want a shop for the stuff...

Even though I get into most events as a instructor and don't have to pay the 300-400 fee depending on the club, getting a car track hardened with aftermarket items like suspension and safety items on top of tires and brakes and its a a very expensive hobby. Even if you have a car like a CTR...

Yes the ridge is an awesome track. You learn things on the track that can not be duplicated anywhere else. I live a hour away from the Ridge but Pacific Raceway is only 10 Minutes away for me! I know that track the best. Our local PCA club got to drive the Ridge before it was open and its...

My Son has a 2020 Type R with 7K miles one it. We both have been driving HPDE events for many years and have gone through many Cars. He picked up the Type R after Covid forced him to sell his M3 he loved. We tracked it for the first time at the Ridge motorsports track in Shelton Wa yesterday...

Long term post Covig followup. My son just bought a CTR and will also become a driving instructor starting next season. We will be making several of the recommended mods noted on this thread to get ready for next year. I have not driven the CTR on the track yet. Just got my shoulder replaced so...

My experience tracking several cars over the years with R Comp tires and track camber is that I still destroyed the right side faster than the left on counter clockwise tracks. I flip the tires on the rims about half life and run them in the reverse direction. Otherwise I am throwing away tires...

Wow, thanks for such a honest review. That's the info I needed. If I get one, it will be driven hard. I have hundreds of laps at my local tracks. Even when I "promise" not to drive my son's M3 too hard, it impossible to hold back when you are picking your way through the run group.

I ran water wetter for years in my liquid cooled 911TT. They were notorious for having a cooling fitting pop off the block and spew glycol all over the track. I witnessed a huge accident when a 911 blew a fitting and the GT3RS behind him lost control and clipped a wall at 140+ MPH. It was at...

I agree. I live 10 minutes from Pacific Raceways so it makes it too easy. My Son is the PCA track engineer and I am an instructor. It makes great father son weekends. I tracked a 996TT that I spent a fortune on. GT2 control arms, End links, coil overs, race limited slip diff, converted to...

Thanks everyone for the info. I have a line on a polished metal 2020 through a dealer with what was a March build but who knows with the virus shutdown. Heat issues will be what I look into first. I did a full STI stage 2 build with my Son to teach automotive principals back in 2005. We had a...

I am looking into buying a 2020 Type R as both a daily driver and for lapping day (HPDE) events. Some background: I am a older guy with years of track experience. I am a driving instructor with my local Porsche/BMW/Audi clubs in Washington State. I am considering a type R for a couple of...
