Pics from Gingerman on stock suspension and Advans. Sorry the pics are crap but I had to zoom in a lot. Any one else having their front wheel just about come off the ground during corner exit? I wish I had a picture of my outside rear wheel during corner exit because I get the feeling it's bottomed out. It's time for something better.
First picture is exit of turn 1.

2nd picture is exit of turn 2.

when i ran it on the 4th, i'd be followin one of the spec-v's, and they're 3 legged all the time. they'd tap the brakes in 3 and 7-8, and the wheel would stop, they'd do the whole corner, and it'd sit back down as soon as they straightened out. was funny as hell.

Yeah, I saw neons doing the same thing. The evo inside rear comes off a little bit, but my front one is |-| close to leaving the ground too...or so it seems.

I think I actually preferred running it backwards, althought the first lap backwards was a little freaky when you are running through what would be the turn 4 and 5 sweepers into turn 3 and you see how big that tree really is.

He was pretty quick, he went off once coming out of 9 (he just took a bad line). I was riding in the car at the time, we just took a detour through the grass, pulled into the pits for a second to take a look at things and were back on. The car pulls really well out of the corners and the brakes are awesome (it is just a regular Carrera not an S).

I would have caught him in one of my sessions, but a civic crossed the blending line early coming out of the pits and I had to shut down so he got away. He ended up cording his left front so his day ended a little early, but he had a blast.

I baked my brakes. I stayed out for about 40 minutes at one point and the brakes were working great until they just got too hot (no fade from the Cobalt pads). I pulled into the pits and Perry asked me why I painted my calipers brown. I was like "I didn't, they just got really hot". On one of my friends Sti's the Brembos turned orange.

I waited about an hour, and they worked fine again after they cooled.
