At times my adblocker gets well over 100+ hits on jalop so I’ll deal with the issues rather than the massive amount of ads. 

Pretty sure Ohio is west of Virginia unless they are taking the really long way around.

What event runs bikes and cars in the same rungroup? I was just at one of ours at NYST and shared the time with a bike group and there was no way we were doing a mixed group. That’s amazingly dangerous. 

Doesn’t matter if it’s slow. It’s still a racecar. I love our shop’s BRZ. It’s not the fastest out there but it sticks like mad and I’m having a whole ton of fun being either a passenger or driver. 

I was very pleased to see a McLaren in the tech line at our event last Friday. I was less pleased when I saw it in the BRZ’s mirror because I knew I was giving a point by on the front straight. 

Any time I’ve had in a CRX was a blast. LIttle power but it was a gokart with plates. I am upset I didn’t get a chance to drive my friend’s racecar version. 

Must be a turbo Leg. Be happy you don’t have a forester. 

Brake fluid will absorb moisture from the atmosphere raising it’s boiling point. When it boils you loose pad pressure. You may live where there are not many mountains. Here, I’d flush it because I’d rather not cook the fluid coming down a mountain. Subaru recommends a bleed every 30k miles. It’s not hard to do and…

The holes also create areas for stress cracks to form. One session at VIR and we started seeing cracks form on brand new rotors we were testing.

I’m the son of a machinist and the cousin of machinist/millwright/steelforger. I know what a runout gauge tells me. If your mounting surfaces aren’t dead flat you’ll see runout. Yes, the deposits will register on the since there was a transfer of material. Cutting them takes off the surface but doesn’t deal with the…

Yes, but it has more to do with the molecular change that happens with pad deposits. Yes, there will be a thickness variation but pad deposits change the metal itself creating the friction difference. That’s why most cut rotors end up getting “warped” soon after being cut.

Science and the worlds brake manufacturers will disagree.

No, they don’t. It’s pad deposits that causes what you think is warping. Back in the day cutting rotors was a thing but you were just removing the surface deposit. Often soon after cutting the problem comes back. You’d be better off bedding in the brakes again than cutting them. Best bet is to just replace them since…

Yes, rotors can be made with different metal compounds and it will affect the friction. That’s why we use the centric ones. Too many issues from customers when using the crap ones. 

They didn’t warp. What happened was what is called pad transfer. That is when after a hard stop and the rotors are hot and you keep the brake on. The pads are stationary creating a hot spot that actually transfers part of the pad material to the rotor creating an area of different friction. That is what you feel in…

When you have a monster air pumper those snails spin up right quick. What is not shown is all the intake plumbing and intercoolers. It is a little confusing that the intake plenum is facing forward. That looks like it’s going to take a whole bunch of charge piping to get up there.

Yeah, they’re at pebble beach touching other people’s cars.

Nope, it’s not a WRX... oh wait the new ones have flat bottom wheels.

Or legs...

I can see it as a compromise for ingress/egress in some cars. I’d much rather a round wheel and a quick release.
