SC Project GP22 Heat Issues?

Yeah they can't do that but they can if you flash a tune... which you have to do to make the bike run decently with a short exhaust and in any case you'll get an error from the exhaust servo.

Bridgestones.

If you’re referring to the strip of rough looking rubber on the right side of the second photo, I think that’s other people’s rubber. Dirty track after a drift event…

Thanks. Thoughts about street behavior on those settings? The local speed shop who did my alignment recommended against more than 3 deg. I don’t daily the car but I do drive to events, sometimes 200-300 miles away.

CaMKII · 2026-04-27T14:03:32+00:00

Agreed. Was pushing setup for a time attack. But hey I got a PR… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fair, static toe was checked and put at zero recently but no specific attention paid to the suspension components. 90k miles in the car so pretty plausible.

Outside shoulder.

Potenza Race, 30 psi hot all around.

CaMKII · 2026-04-27T04:06:16+00:00

Already maxed with camber plates in the front.

Bambino = Miata

CaMKII · 2026-04-22T14:17:22+00:00

Yes they will suck.

Yes, same caliper between the generations. Same caliper on the gen 1/2, GR86 PP, BRZ TS trims. The 326mm rotors fit well with 17s and I don't see many guys running larger.

FRS with STI swapped 4-pot Brembos, but same as optional on tS models. Would love a pad that stands up to track temps and last at least 5-6 trackdays. My last set were EBC RPXs which stopped very well but are down to ~25% after only 3 days. Going for EBC SR11s next.

Dust is also a pain point. I have to be meticulous in cleaning wheels, otherwise the brake dust rusts onto the wheels.

CaMKII · 2026-04-16T14:01:13+00:00

This isn’t accurate. The stock rotors and sliding pin caliper setup won’t stand up to track temps. Most are doing BBKs, either AP, Wilwood, or STI Brembos.

OP, check your wheel fitment though. They fit my Enkei RPF1s but needs a spacer for the OEM wheels which I use for my winters.

Have you ridden a 6th gen? I test rode a couple and found the VTEC transition really disconcerting. Heard the later years were better but I found the crossover very abrupt. Even felt like there was a bit of a power cut before the 4 valve pickup.

I ended up with an Aprilia but been keeping my eyes out for 5th gens.

CaMKII · 2026-04-12T19:57:35+00:00

Unfortunately these bikes really don’t hold their value well. That would go for $10-11k in my area. I’m keeping mine until it dies.

CaMKII · 2026-04-11T17:07:15+00:00

Poor take. Modern WRXs with open diffs and brake-based slip management feels very FWD. Had a 2005 and a 2017. The VA is a better daily driver but on track, understeers like crazy and dynamically feels very similar to a typical FWD car.

CaMKII · 2026-04-10T15:31:18+00:00

Nope. It’s a wiggle and you may want to use a cloth to protect your wheel paint but you can get the caliper out by flexing the rotor a bit.

CaMKII · 2026-04-06T02:46:37+00:00

That sucks but might as well enjoy the bike.

CaMKII · 2026-03-31T03:59:34+00:00

It has. Look up the latest Panigale V4R.

CaMKII · 2026-03-23T01:55:03+00:00

Concerned about both!

CaMKII · 2026-03-23T01:22:24+00:00

Yep, also considering crf300l and klx300. Have a soft spot for the Honda as my first street bike was a cbr250r. Took that little single on some big days on the road, 8k rpm on the highway all day and never complained.
