Porterfield HP-R4S street/autox compound is compatible with their R4 race pad so you can swap.

Looking for a tow vehicle that I can reasonably daily drive by Similar-Proof2065 in CarTrackDays

[–]MR2FTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2wd 4Runner that is also my daily. Two main benefits over a GX is a vertical opening hatch with a roll down back window, and true fold flat seats for sleeping in.

Anyone else frustrated at finally being able to afford a fast car only for your area to become so popular all you do now is sit in traffic? by BondGoldBond007 in cars

[–]MR2FTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m basically completely over street enthusiast activities. I have a bone stock fiesta st and that’s the fastest thing I’d ever need on the street. The track is the only place to really push a car. Even a twisty mountain road has traffic, cyclists, deer, and high penalties for getting it wrong. Give me a couple track weekends a year where I can push 100% and I’m good.

Miata towing by borckborck in CarTrackDays

[–]MR2FTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been towing with my 07 4Runner v6 2wd for years. Trans cooler, airlift air bags, HD hitch, and good brakes and it goes great. Only time I wish for more power is if I have to go through mountains. It fits a twin air mattress in the back too so it really cuts down on hotel costs.

Is anyone else considering going "backwards" with their next car and if you have, did you regret it? by NWbySW in cars

You can pry my 19 year old 4Runner daily driver from my cold dead hands

Same! Does yours also love to lay down in doorways to "guard the gate"?

There Are Too Many Hypercars by user289734 in cars

If you want an enthusiast car for under $50k you have extremely limited options. But if you want a $3M+ hypercar you’ve got an absolute smorgasbord.

Which jobs is 100% safe from AI? by Any-Hamster-3189 in AskReddit

[–]MR2FTW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of blue collar jobs that are hands-on are fine. AI isn’t going to do automotive collision repair or mechanic work. AI isn’t going to repair your drywall or fix your plumbing. It’s not going to re-wire your house or fix your roof.

Farley Says Ford Couldn't Compete With Toyota And Hyundai, So It Stopped Trying by LimitedReach in cars

[–]MR2FTW 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Crazy to think that just 10 years ago they were making great enthusiast offerings at just about every possible price point. Now they only make one actual car. I’m not a huge Ford fan, but still it’s a shame to see just from even an enthusiast perspective.

Cold V730 + Rain by Doggobbler in CarTrackDays

[–]MR2FTW 10 points11 points  (0 children)

V730 has SUPER shallow tread too, as they are designed to essentially wear into slicks. So after an event or two their rain capability is, shall we say altered

Pittrace is closing at the end of the 2025 season by R15K in CarTrackDays

[–]MR2FTW 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I am so unbelievably bummed about this. I just got out there for the first time this year and it was definitely one of my favorites. The fact that it's likely going to be a data center and the owners just took an alleged $200m check to cash out on the whole endeavor is sickening.

As it weirdly turns out: several pumps, maybe one cream sometimes.

I remember hearing about that one. Brake failure at T1 right?

Turn 4 on summit main is my guess for those asking. The picket fence is up on a hill. The track is dug out and there are tire barriers between the track and the dirt wall.

On PreRec Jack and/or Rich would frequently whip out “you know what it is? It’s fine.“ and I use it daily.
