I do hear the re71rs is very fast, but you pay the premium for it along with a052, hence the RT660 kind of being the best bang for buck tire out there in 200tw. That’s one hell of an experience! How’d you manage to find that w2w race opportunity?

Good we finally get an autocrosser with experience in here to contribute to the discussion 😆 I agree my general statements are dated by now especially for this platform. I autox with a lot of ppl with older Hondas, and so what works for them certainly cannot be translated over to our cars the...

No blanket statement on sway bars will cover everyone’s use case. But a general rule of thumb depending on how you use your car looks like this: For autox: upgrade the rear. You want to decrease grip in the rear which will help the car to rotate for all the slaloms, sweepers, and tight corners...

I’ve also heard Toyota deny a repair on someone’s GR86 that ended up seizing due to a clogged oil pickup tube because they were tracking it a while back (apparently it was because the owner was posting his adventures online which gave them reason to void warranty though). Hopefully your car is...

Not surprised by the GR86 pace, makes me wish I had a RWD car to play around with for the track and autox! To help you sleep at night, swapping the oil pan and inspecting/cleaning the oil pickup tube may be considered…

I recall reading a thread a while back on your experience with it before swapping to DSG. I’m hoping it holds EQT stage 2 on the street AND the track just fine. I seem to find positive reviews from the ppl that run it, including someone running it with a Mambatek GTX3071R (434 whp and 400wtq).

What’s your plan for the next tire to run?

The Porsche point-by is a nice touch! I wish I can see the track a bit better, so maybe next time you could try manually setting the ISO and aperture as low as possible to reduce how bright the track ends up. It’s worse when it’s sunny and in an all black interior!

Thanks for the feedback, def not gonna daily them now but I may consider buying a front set and swap them out before and after track day at this point. Don’t wanna spend the money for a BBK just yet, and really just exploring my future braking options.

Got it, thanks for the response. My ideal upgrade would be something that slots in between running more aggressive pads on the current PP brakes, and a BBK in terms of price. I may just deal with it and swap pads in the PP brakes before and after track day to run a more aggressive pad.

I only do a few per year @ the ridge and PIR (PNW tracks), typically group 3 (above intermediate). I try to push for more time while I’m out there each time. I notice a bit of break fade while I’m out there lapping, and have to dial back brake zones a bit on the Ferodo pads if I’m not doing a...

My b

Are you able to see it in the thread? I thought it was only visible in my profile section 💀

DS3.12 and DS1.11: how loud are they if I were to daily on them? Would like to run a more aggressive pad if they don’t screech at me every stop 😅

Thanks for the reply. The swappable pads peaked my interest a bit, and this is my daily so I figured going from a track pad for the track and back to a streetable pad for daily would be optimal. Right now running DS2500 for everything and I’m thinking just a little more can be extracted from the...

I’ll also chime in and say the RT660 is another good option to consider. Def doesn’t have the pace of A052 from what I see on my local track but for the price it gets you pretty darn close. The tire rack reviews are also insightful videos to watch when they compare all these 200tw tires against...

Anyone on this thread have experience with the Ferrodo DS2500 pad on the PP brakes, and the most aggressive track pad available for the Macan brakes to draw any conclusions between the braking feel/difference/distance/fade, etc?

Installed an ECS Tuning stage 2 clutch, 034Motorsports rear main seal, and BFI stage 1 poly insert w/ OEM transmission mount. I have a BFI stage 1 engine mount on hand but wanted to test the NVH one by one, and honestly can’t tell a huge, noticeable difference after adding the trans poly insert...

Just updating: went ahead and bought a new OEM one from a local dealer, and decided to put it in dry and bleed from the oem bleeder with a few dozen pedal presses. Pedal is pretty darn firm now, I’d say 1.75-2x stiffer from stock. My guess is I did go a little too crazy with how far I was...

Hi all, I’m not sure if this is user error, but it seems I have accidentally blew my throwout bearing while bench bleeding. I guess I went a little too far when it came to bench bleeding it, since after dozens of presses it instantly lost pressure and started leaking near the bearing itself…...
