Similar rates with less of a drop.



yeah, yeah, I would have to get all new pads... there's my money right there.

Nope, this money is mine to play with. Although I am stretched a little thin right now, esp with our trip this weekend.

Sunday Oct 3rd Pocono North course with E.M.R.A. is a $100. entry fee for anybody that has NOT run with EMRA before. Thats a great deal. Pete

I'm doing the same thing (tripple header FTW!).

you should replace your fluids with a fresh DOT4, something over the counter like Castrol or another high quality fluid is all you'll need unless you want to ball and get some Motul for $20/pint. I have something lined up that will make Shelly OK with the idea... we can talk more next week.

^^^I would assume its both. We did 4 sessions and if you wanted to you then ran the TT.
I was in the noob class at 8am, and running a TT by 5ish I think. It was a chill event

I can take off my ET-900s for you to try also! So you have no excuses now!

Get a bottle of ATE Super Blue for $15 and call it a day! Its a DOT 4 fluid and one is enough for the entire system. DOn't worry about the stainless line bro!

chu, i meant to ask you, how do you like the et900s? do they take some time or at least a few quick hard stops to get them warmed up, and do you DD them?

where the hell is the sand man? I have been meaning to ask him for specifics about his set up. I know hes making some serious power and can drive that car hard. Other than running a gt30 (76?), dont know what else hes using except e85.

dan, you should get paid for repping ethanol so damn hard! im so jealous, i want it bad. how was your trip to the beach, have a good time? Thanks for the tips while you were away, appreciated.

I'm not Chu, but I can respond to that. I have ET900's in the front and ET800's in the rear. Driving on the street, the pads are perfectly fine for the first stop. There is a slight difference between cold and warm on the pads, but it is hardly noticeable. Winter may be a little different, but I'm not worried at all about it. RB ET900's are very street-able and very proficient on the track. Pete Tiebout recommended using 800's in the back, as it is hard to warm up rear 900's on an Evo. I've been very happy with the RB pads.

Otherwise, good to hear that all is well in Michigan. The VIII is looking sharp.
