Was really happy with the car and enjoyed every single thing about it. Even the Prius tires! Hope to see you regulars in the future :D
My video of said track day :)



Feedback is of course appreciated :fullofwin: Don't think I'll be able to hit up Ridge this year due to scheduling and cost, will definitely make it to at least one next year :D

I'll be getting a fresh set for Mission on July 22nd with UBC, and will be going to an XP12 by Carbotech for next year, but for now, I like 'em!
Keep in mind, Mission ain't The Ridge, The Ridge ain't Mission.
Ridge has enough area to run to allow the brakes to cool. Mission doesn't.
From the sounds of your driving, it is progressing along nicely which is a good thing. But Mission is *THAT* hard on brakes and you will be best to up the ante and go with the XP12's than run the HP+.

The HP+ on the rear of my stock S2000 on Hoosier A6's showed signs of over heating last time I ran Mission with that car and you'll have way more speed down the front straight than the S.

Ken Liu asked me to do some laps in his car then uploaded the video today!


Not what I would call my best laps ever after jumping out of a very different Subaru but not bad either. I believe two of the later laps were low 2:03.x when I started to push a bit harder and get more comfortable.

Some of the lines I choose are a bit different than I see most people doing at track days. I'd be happy to explain my thought process if anyone has questions.

At the end of the video we get a proper oversteer moment at turn 5 so I shut it down do a slow in lap.

Thanks again to Ken for letting me drive his car, what a fun car to push hard around track.

Point taken... Honestly the issue i'm having is finding reasonably priced Carbotech pads... The only supplier I can find is Vorshlag and they want like $400 for a set...

THANKS man!!! It would be a lot of fun to jump in with you. After watching your video's I think you're really dialed in. It would be fun to discuss style and incremental changes to find time!

nice driving richard! makes me itch to drive but sadly i dont think my car will be ready this season

@dared3vil0 - my suggestion is going on the actual carbotech site get the part # and search google - i was able to find lots of vendor that way - if not you can also look into PFC/CL RC series/Raybestos etc - are all good pads

trollguy 07-02-2015 07:52 AM
fail because fiero not ready

The uglier and unreliable version, yes.

Ended up going with Hawk's new quasi race pad, rated from 100-1200f, where as the HP+ i ran at ORP and the Ridge is rated from 100-800f. Should give me a good buffer zone for Mission.

Ken actually did 2:03 last year with a bone stock Frs with pads and supersports, it's been a pretty hectic season this year, his hearts probably just not in it..sorta worried too, my cars taken quite the beating this year, not sure if it has to much to give before calling it quits.
I have big brakes on a 2200 lbs carcar, overheated after 3 laps at mission. just be aware of the limit of your parts and respect the track, mission is hell on your brakes but rewards fast cornering cars more than high powered cars

Vancouver240sx 07-02-2015 12:42 PM
Remember guys it isn't just pad choice, going for a proper brake fluid is massively important!!!

dared3vil0 07-02-2015 01:24 PM
^ I seem to have had good luck with fresh ATE Typ 200, rated to 540f dry.

boatcaptain 07-02-2015 01:49 PM
better to be safe than sorry. I would get Rbf 600

trollguy 07-02-2015 02:20 PM
me doing RBF600!

white rocket 07-02-2015 03:04 PM
meh, Motul 5.1 and I'm good. Hasn't let me down yet.

trollguy 07-03-2015 09:47 AM
see you guys tonight @ little creek!

boatcaptain 07-04-2015 08:20 PM
Super duper fun day for me at the ridge motorsport. I get to sit in different kind of cars today. from stock to highly modifed cars

dared3vil0 07-05-2015 04:14 PM
Le Autocross today. :)

Make sure to watch in 720p 60 FPS.

Zoomy 07-06-2015 09:40 AM
Looks like one of the better flowing setups I've seen. Doesn't look like a full field of cars either. Should have gone.

dared3vil0 07-06-2015 10:47 AM
^ 12 ish people showed up. I left at three after nearly 70 runs... Still had an hour left too.
