what rubber are you driving, Luke? Looks hellaciously fun!

 

Well I think the class fill up pretty good so Group Disc is probably not going to happen and $200 is way cheap to me for class and 80min on a track.

Car has Hankook RS3 Got them for $133 a tire at disc count tire. Just had the Hawk street pads which sucks.

Quick break down of my car is

ER 2.4 9.5:1
GSC S1 cams with ER Cam tuning
ER light ported head
DSM link V3 ECU on SD
Stock VIII turbo on 9.8 hot side
FIC 950cc injectors
ETS 4in FMIC
E98 fuel spiking 26psi. 419wh 450tq full boost in 3rd is about 2500rpm and pull hard to 7.5k revlimit.

 

Glad you enjoyed yourself Lucas. Went out last Sunday with the Alfa club and tried to shake off the rust. Here's hoping to getting out more this year.

 

How you liking the RS3's? Thinking of switching to those since my NT05's aren't going to have the life to do much this season.

Definately grab a set of ST-43's or maybe some of the Essex pads and that cars gonna be a beast. 450wtq and full spool at 2500 in 3rd, thats intense.

 

Cant say on the tires. I felt they did very well but I have never owned a set of good tires to turn with. They kinda of suck for launching compered to my drag slicks

Have gotten quite a few opinion on race pads one of my friends Matt who spends alot of time said he likes DS3000 freodo (hope I typed it right)

 

I have the Ferodo DS2500's on my car and I like em - they bite good, are not noisey and don't dust as bad as stock. They usually only stop me from going fast on the freeway though, not the hell your putting them through The DS3000's would work well for you I would imagine. - Jeremy

 

I was runnign DS3000's for 2 years, and I've been outdriving them as of late. They seem to have an issues with pad transfer to the rotors, leaving deposits that will cause severe brake shutter. Martin at Gyrodisc suggested Raybestos ST-43's instead. I haven't been out this year due to a lack of suspension on my car, but they will be my replacement pad this year.

 

This is what I have been planning on doing for sometime. I really want to get into this. Do you tune differently depending on road course or drags? I would love to come down there and chase you. LOL! I might just try and get signed up soon. Thanks for the cool video.

 

Yes I tune a little different about a point richer and run the boost a few psi less. The biggest thing I see with road racing is you never get to look at your gauges since you are so focused on driving so a car that is at its tune limit is the last thing you want to worry about.

 

Nice Video and good run!!!

Props to ER!

 

how was the alfa track day?

 

Boo DS3000 pads, they have serious issues with pad transfer. ST-43's are the way to go for race pads.

Yeah for Road Racing, Cascade is a good place to start - they are awesome.

 

So you just ran the hawk hps pads? Stock fluid as well?

 

Yep just stock hps pads and fluid.

 

Whew stock fluid and HPS pads...glad your still alive
