Have you at least gotten new tyres?

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

nope they actually held up pretty damn good for being like 5-6 heat cycles although the lower air temperature absolutely helped, my line needs constructive criticism so I may actually run these on the 24th again and focus on my line

 

[10sec]

I thought they were bald? If they're not bald, YOLO.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

def not bald, but they were greasing over super fast last summer where they seemed pretty useless a couple laps in during the afternoon sessions, I forget what air temp was but maybe 85'ish, so track could have been 90.

 

[10sec]

The track is 90° when it's like 65° outside (sunny obviously). I see like 5-6 really clean laps on 80°+ track days before the tyres get greasy. I think a lot of people experience the same thing, unless they're just pussy footin' around. Fall track days I can go the entire 20min without the tyres getting greasy on me.

Hm... is there enough tire left...

This one is the tire that I'm scared the most about. This was a left front tire, it has been flipped so I could use the inside (which is now the outside) on the other side of the car.

Again, those used to be left side tires, even with 3.2° of negative camber, they wore super bad on the outside and need more camber.

 

[sickmint79]

front left rides the pain train. i swapped left side to right side last year at the end but am already considering it after the events this year and wear already on my front left, which is at -3.5. directional too so rough going if it ever rains anywhere, esp at the track

Stop taking that slow S2000 to the track. And bring the real green machine out for some fun. By the way I fired up the beast this Sunday just to make sure it still has an engine. Fired first crank.

I need to get that thing (this weekend?) I just gotta find a place to put the Contour. If you keep it at your house you can drive it any time you want. Right now my friend takes my accord for a week/month so it get some mileage put on it

 

[J-LO]

[emoji102] ready, are you ? [emoji106]

 

[sickmint79]

unf i guess, feels like it crept up on me while i wasn't lookin

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

So I remember some talk last week about construction.

Took the nephew up to leisure hours raceway.

You can ignore the construction signs.

Patterson doesn't go all the way through anymore. But you can take Patterson to Brandon and then to laraway.

 

[sickmint79]

just swapped my front left and rear right. front left was/is a lot more ded

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

Been up since 1am, kiddo is sick and I've got hints of it, should be good as long as the migraine that started around 7p subsides by 6am

 

[J-LO]

Heading out now, wish it was closer [emoji23]
