im finding out very quickly how expensive my 3 events are gonna be
3 events, 1000$
2L SRF 266$, (1L as spare just incase)
powerstop track day pads (front only) 200$
bc ferry 200$
hotels 240$
Im in a condo, so im too lazy to haul half my shit across the street and DIY, sent the car to ABC tire up the street to change oil, swap pads, and flush brakes.
I called in advance asking if they could order the above parts but did not have access, so they were ok with me buying them.
Anyways, dummies could not figure out how to swap the pads for some reason, and bought my requested oil as 1L containers instead of 5L + singles. At least they know how to flush brakes, i hope.....
100$ to flush system, and 250$ for the oil change. Lesson learned, stop being lazy, and do it yourself. 430$ after tax, disposal, etc.
At this point i figured i bought the wrong pads, so ordered another set for 490$... fuck me are "track" pads expensive......
By the time i got home from work, i was not believing them about the pads, so i ended up hauling my shit across the street, and sure enough, both sides swapped out in 30 minutes.
Im at 2380$, have a spare set of brake pads for next season i guess.
Still need to add gas, looking like 900$/day.
After digging into my OEM pad info, seems like they are ferodo HP 1000/1, and based by the limited information online, these are high performance road / light track use pads. So i guess good call on swapping them out. VS putting my car into a wall. These squal like a pig
REEEEEEEEEEEE during road use, and are getting swapped out anyways for another road pad. oh yes those were 600$ for all 4 corners......
