collegemt Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I'm in. Who else? My goal is 14.39 and I'd like to get 4-6 runs in. I will be there for sure! My dad will be in town for my graduation, I think he might bring his stock 03 Z06 to the track. I keep telling him I can beat him. LOL Also my brother in law and cousin also might join with a pontiac solstice GXP and mazda speed6. If everyone show it should be a blast. My goal is 14.3, but it sucks because i really like to have my windows down to get a good launch, and they won't let us. Maybe i need a louder exhaust.

mwiener2 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Is anyone switching brake pads for the track days? I have whatever comes with the Brembo Grad Turismo kit up front and SS-M pads in the rear. I'm kinda thinking it might burn up the fronts, they have close to 40k miles on them. Any ideas for track pads or everyday pads to use at the track?

enthusiast Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I am going to use my Carbotech XP8s on the front and Hawks in the back. I changed the pads at the track last time. I may change them at home this time and bed them in again. I think this time I will have better braking as I have upgraded the lines and rotors from the last track time.

praedet Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 XP10s in front, XP8s in the rear... I highly recommend the Carbotech track pads as they are very nice to the rotors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 THose XP8's are $$$$ What are the SS-M pads... they came on the calipers when I got them from you My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 They are a good street pad w/ the ability to go to Auto-X temps... NOT a track pad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I run Hawk Blue in my Z for track days. They hold up pretty well at State Patrol track for me, and the Z is about 300 lbs heavier than the LGT. They are Hawk's track pads, a step up from HP+. Don't know if they make them for LGT though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 ^^^Good pad, only thing to worry about is that Hawk Track pads are hard on rotors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Alright guys, just 4 weeks until the track day. I'm getting excited as it's my first time doing any track driving or getting any driving instruction (other than the "slow down" from my wife or the "do you really have to do that?" kind of stuff). Anyhow, I know mwiener2 and collegemt are signed up... 54 cars in total... any other members here? Do you guys have any "to-do" items prior to the day? I'm changing fluids, checking brakes, and will need to do some final tuning on my IIe setup. For tuning I'll be looking into tip-in and post-shift boost response.. that's about it. I won't be doing any suspension mods. I anticipate being in the 10th-20th percentile as far as racing around the track. I would have to think that at least 2/3 the cars are faster than mine and that at least 2/3 the peeps have done this before. I don't care though as I plan on having a blast. I hope I can pass someone at least though. My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthusiast Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 I am going. I will be putting my race pads on before or that day. I will get the oil changed as well before the day. There is a sticky up top for this too. My mod list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I will definitely get some track pads if you are still on stock pads. The stock pads would get spongy pretty quickly. I usually do the 2 Z track days so I won't be doing this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I havn't decided about pads yet. I'll probably be one of the higher HP cars out there, but def not the fastest lap times. Harvery should be there, he works for flatirons now. My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Did you ever get a dyno pull after converting to E85? My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) yeah, not dyno tuned though, just dyno pull. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/mwiener2/002.jpg It's only about 10-15 HP/TQ more than my pump gas pull, but it was also about 30-40 degrees hotter out. An actualy dyno tune would get me another 10-15 hp on top of that. But it's not worth the $$ at this point. There's also a slight chance I might score some rear brembos to match my fronts. That'd be sweet Also not sure if I'm gonna run E85 or gas at the track. I'd liek to run E85, but whats the availability of it down there? Should I bring some gas cans?

praedet Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 yep, but there are 2 straights you can open it up on, w/ a long sweeper in between. With no suspension, you will be midpack most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
