Today I had some personal firsts. Set a new PB today at a 2:37:49, 5 seconds off my last track day and 3 seconds faster then my previous PB. Also I completely lost my brakes entering turn 1 towards the end of my session. What a O S H I T moment. I think the pads were toast I have to inspect it later this week. 2 tracks and front pads are gone if so I’m not happy lol. I’ll get videos up soon, also SSfirehawk give him a shout out, SOB shaved off about 10 second off his PB, he rAn a 2:39, may have ran faster but dash cam stopped working his last two session. He will upload us on the track at the same time. Thanks again to Charles RRP worked flawlessly for both cars.

Grats to both of you those are major improvements. I have found that at the Carbotec XP10 fronts last me roughly ~6-7hrs (20*20min sessions) now days.

That sounds about right to me. I find they are pretty good up to the end.

This is my last session of the day when my brakes went out. Freaking Waylens was acting up all freaking day i tried to record the laps with my phone annd my last lap right before the brakes went out i measured 2:35.78 with my phone. Not 100% accurate but damn close. So i went back and timed the lap once again and clocked in at the same 2:35:78. FFW 10:50 if you all decided to record the time, let me know what you come up with.

SS_Firehawk · 01-08-2019, 07:35 AM

This was my fastest lap. Other video below is some more laps running through traffic. I went through my Carbotechs as well, not nearly the dramatic fashion as Elmo lol. Had a lot of brake fluid evaporate and I need a larger power steering cooler, it started leaking a bit. Think it got pretty hot. Oil temps broke 260 degrees but didnt go in limp mode. I kept pressing it. That was with a 72 row oil cooler. May need to box in the oil cooler to force more air through.

You guys are having a blast. Maybe I can come do a trackday with you in the future.
