    EBC RP-1 AND RP-X track pad review

    Yep, I will likely swap the yellows out for use on street but that's it moving forward. I had started using yellows back when they were marketed as a track pad and gone through multiple sets over the last 5 years. Since I never had any issue with crumbling, them not biting or fading over the...

    EBC RP-1 AND RP-X track pad review

    My season is done for this year but yes, new pads and rotors will be on the way soon. I've never put temp indicating heat paint on the rotors so honestly seeing this shot from him was news to me and will likely include that in the next changeover.

    EBC RP-1 AND RP-X track pad review

    Think I may be exceeding the temps on the yellows. Got this from a photographer that was shooting our track day. Coming into the braking zone on our back straight dropping from about 125mph

    EBC RP-1 AND RP-X track pad review

    I've been running Yellows with RBF660, stainless lines, and RS3 ducts on PP calipers for years on street and track without issue. No excessive noise or crumbling, but they do get pretty baked on track and make a ton of dust. I may try the RP1 pads on track next season to come. Thanks for sharing.

    Hagerty’s HPDE/Track Day Insurance...do you buy policies or not?

    Good call on keeping receipts for all parts/purchases on hand. I'm sure I could go back and gather them up, but better to be proactive and get them into one spot. I'll have to check out Lockton and compare quotes.

    Hagerty’s HPDE/Track Day Insurance...do you buy policies or not?

    I know At my home track (PIR), they will not let you register for another event until that bill for the damaged barrier is paid in full.

    Hagerty’s HPDE/Track Day Insurance...do you buy policies or not?

    What great is SCCA has for the last couple years combine track days and time trial events then encouraged participants to register/participate in both. In their definition of 10. “Non-Competitive Time Trial” means an on track exercise during which the lap times of “scheduled automobile” are...

    Hagerty’s HPDE/Track Day Insurance...do you buy policies or not?

    I was just curious for those of you that do time trials or HPDE...do you ever purchase a policy for the day or season through Hagerty? Ever had to file a claim? I've been getting policies for peace of mind since starting doing HPDE 5 years ago, but am wondering if there are enough loopholes in...

    Mk7 GTI Track Part Out - Oil Coolers, RS3 LPFP, iAbed Oil Pan, etc.

    Not meant to offend, but lack of general forum response might be pricing on some of the used parts. I was considering reaching out about the IABED pan, but you can buy one new from IABED for $639 ($694 if you add the extra AN-10 as an option). Given your $ is same or higher than new, shipping...

    Portland International Raceway - a tale of 2 HPDEs

    Were you tracking lap times? How was it running w/out the chicane? Every event I've run we always ran with the chicane and I'd be curious to run without to see what speed I could push on the front. Definitely seems like w the extra MPH, the braking into 4/5 could be a bit more exciting. I'm...

    Found

    I have one I run on track days with the stock 2015 PCV and honestly, under heavy braking at the end of a long straight at PIR I still get some blow by and a bit of smoke. Usually just under the initial braking dropping from about 125-80mph, but other than that I don't see any smoke. I have a...

    HID headlight bulb replacement, good grief

    Any members in Germany that care to track down the MK7 HID lighting designer and walk them through the public streets shaming them. What happened to the days of unplug, twist out the old bulb, insert the new and on your way. So happy I have the HID lighting package and it took 1.5-2hrs to...
