Lol, I was only kidding. My savings are no where near that! On the wheel thing, I'm working at it!

On that note, still awaiting Tephra V7 and E-85 base!

 

btw, anyone planning on going to kings of leon aug 5th? Tickets are on sale this saturday i believe!

 

*waits for Chu to push RacingBrake on you* *still waiting*

Just kidding... I don't even know if they make something for the X, but they prob do...

get the hell out of here...

There you go again...

Your injectors in?

 

I've heard and seen

 

Chu pushed my current pads on me

I can fit rear pads from the viii and ix with my pad adapters......I just have to grease them to death.

 

I'm not pushing anything. I made a bad call on the Girodisc pads, and I dont plan on doing it again! All I'm saying is I like th 800s I have.

As for the injectors, I'm not putting them in until I get a map!

Edit: Dan, you got your post in seconds before me. I hate my Girodisc too....dammit!

 

chu pushed my pads on me too, except i ordered them on my own

btw i found the sickest road to drive on today with a hair pin turn it was by far the most fun i have had in my car in a long time.






here are some of my pics of the view up there from my camera phone

 

Which pads did you get? Thought you order Hawks!

 

the 500

 

me too

 

This looks similar to the Pagoda Hill Climb in PA. You guys would know if you would of came to the Reading Cruise last summer. We had so much fun, we came back around the mountain and went up it twice. The turns were nasty.

I will probably do another Reading area cruise this summer, just need to figure out a different route, yet somehow include the Pagoda Hill Climb.

 

Tim, I try to make your cruise this year.

Chu what brand are your pads again and are they for street and track use?

 

I just ordered up my new pads this morning. I looked at teh RB lineup but didn't think they would work with the tire I'm running. So after talking to quite a few people who autox/TT/HPDE I wound up going with my original choice... XP-10s Thats the last of my parts... now its time to but this bish back together.

 

The 500s are a street and autox pad, and the 800s are closer to a track pad with "street capabilities." Again, I'm not telling you to get any, but discounts are available if you do!

Marc, I think Pete Tiebout would have given you a good discount so you could give the 800s a try. The Carbotechs are great though, and MPG is working on getting Carbotechs on their list of product offers!

 

I checked the ratings on the pad and decided not to roll the dice, but rather go with what I know. I'd rather pay a little more and get the performance I'm looking for then save a couple bucks and not be 100% happy. Now, having said that, if Pete wants to let me try a set out I will be happy to give my honest, unbiased opinion (whatever that is woth) and if they are better I will run them.

btw, you guys are busy today. I was in meetings all morning and afternoon... the whole time I was just looking out the window thinking of all the stuff I could be doing on my car instead of sitting in some stuffy board room with a bunch of grey hairs.
