Probably sell the car. That should cover the payments for the next year or so.

Sell the seats of course. He's going to sell a different part every month, so by the time it's paid off, he's left with a shift knob. Then he can install the shift knob in his Fisher price steeing wheel and have at it.

I'll bet he's not thinking that far ahead... which is how he got into that position in the first place.

Because it will handle the torque my car makes, it won't lock-out at high RPM's and it won't have heat issues on the track.

I just bought it. $550 shipped!

It has been a while. Looking forward to seeing some of you again at the TrackDaze NJMP event on Friday (I can only make one day but better than nothing).

If anyone has any "get-home" track pads laying around and would want to donate them to a track junkie, please bring them as I may need them to take me through a session. Can't buy new pads at the moment and my current ones have only a session or two left in them.

[Yes, you read it correctly - the addition did get this bad - I did just beg for your pad left overs]

Andy, I wish you would have said something earlier... just this past weekend I threw 2 sets of XP-10s away that were just a little thicker than the backing plates.

I think I have 1 or two sets laying around somewhere still, I just have to dig them up. If I find them I will bring them with to the event for you.

Other than that all I can suggest to you is just don't use your brakes.

I have HP+'s as a last-resort backup but they suck... proper track pads are much better.

Yeah, yeah... I finally tried that a few weeks ago and this was the result:

looks like you either got back into it 'just a little' to early (with too much sterring input), or the rear was too light and you didn't get on it fast enough to catch the spin. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know

Didn't look at the thread, but what condition is it in? rebuilding with new dist will cost you around $400. And you may want to consider gettign a new floater plate, tob,and tob retainer clip.
