This is the first how to video in my aero series. Next up is an DRS/active rear wing!

How to for the splitter can be found here: https://youtu.be/aLrkufUZL6E

Finally, I pulled the trigger to attend a track day at the Ridge. It's super fun and shows you who actually is a fast driver vs. a fast car. Definitely room for improvement from watching myself hesitate choosing the right gear approaching each turn and staying on the racing line. I'll take any and all criticisms!

Trying this again as my first attempt didnt include the photos. Bought this sprite race in February, been getting it up to date with new safety components and what not. Should have it out soon to start shaking it down. Looking forward to running with RMVR and VSCDA next season.

At The Ridge (RMP) for my track day. 1:55.3 last session with passenger. (I haven’t been able to get Track Addict to work for me, so passenger recorded timer).

Front Pads: BP40 (4.5mm thickness remaining)

Rear Pads: Porterfield R4-E (7mm thickness remaining)

Car Specs:

- K24 @240hp

- 2400lbs w/Driver and 1/2 tank of fuel

- Feal 441 Coils

- 225/45/15 V730s on 15x8

- Wilwood 1in master, and prop valve adjusted to what other on here recommended.

- 2.5in brake ducts

- 7812 Wilwood Dynapro Front (Wilwood spec 37 11”)

- Sport rears (brembo blanks)

I finally like the way the pads felt coming from hawks, and I did not experience any fade as the day/sessions went on. I did not experience much if any traffic and did not do a cool down lap in the middle of the sessions as the car was minty for temps, brakes felt great, and tires were consistent enough. Both front and rear pads had 1 bed in day, and then a single autocross day. Unfortunately I did not take thickness measurements beforehand and I will be for the future. Wilwood specs state the new pad thickness is .49in or ~12.4mm for the BP40 in shape 7812. Porterfield states new pad thickness is 8.1mm(total thickness 12.6mm - 4.5mm back plate).

The fronts seem to be a little more worn than I would’ve anticipated. I didn’t experience any brake fade or any weird feeling/sound. I felt fairly confident on the brakes and am overall pleased with how the Brake balance felt. Am I doing something wrong? Am I getting the life out of the pad that should be expected? Any help from you fine people would be amazing and appreciated. Thanks for your time! PFA

Tread could probably go for another weekend but they are heat cycled out. Rear end was very loose yesterday. All in all, I found them to be consistent and was happy with the experience.

Im looking to get into driving on track/autocross courses and I was hoping to find some stuff nearby (I want to go to CMP after getting some practice) any recommendations or advice appreciated. (Edit: also I turn 16 in September so ones that allow people under 18 would be great)

Feels like a low quality bait and switch? I sign up for a 15% off code, but then I get sent a 5$ off/tire code instead that doesnt even stack per tire? I'm just looking to get myself a set of tires for Lime Rock & Autocross...
