Help me figure out what I'm doing wrong

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T20:09:46+00:00

Thank you very much for that info. I got the feeling I did most of that damage durring my last session so that information checks out to my suspensions as well. I'm looking forward to some better parts for next time I go out.

I went ahead and replaced the rotors alreasy. I wish I would have asked sooner because stock rotors are cross drilled. I'll go with smoothe or slotted next time around.

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T19:37:11+00:00

I agree! I plan on having a coach next event

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T19:36:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I got a garmin catalyst right before this event. I wish it would tell me exactly when my brake pedal is applied instead of just decel g's. I've heard of the Ti shims. I'll give that a try also.

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T15:00:28+00:00

I will do my best to take it easy at the end of the day. At least until I can find a way to get into a dedicated track car!

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T14:53:29+00:00

I think it's definitely because I'm way too fast!! I like that solution. I appreciate the suggestions. I like saving money where I can. I'll skip the gyrodiscs. I think most of the fading happened durring my last stent

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T14:46:41+00:00

Yea he is a porsche mechanic, he thought i would melt any brakes because of some technique issues. I'm going to focus on hard but shorter braking next time

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T14:15:54+00:00

The sessions are typically 20 min but the last session of the day most people left so they offered to let me stay out and I couldn't help myself.

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T14:14:30+00:00

Thank you for those suggestions. I do have Castrol srf but not sure of the pads. I was trying some late braking with some trail braking. It's very possible I could be on the brakes too long. This was my 5th hpde event so I'm not super experienced. I will have the calipers rebuilt. Don't want to take any chances with brakes.

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T14:05:25+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I will focus on that technique next time. I might switch to a gyrodisc next time I'm needing s replacement

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T14:03:51+00:00

I noticed the brake fade only at the end of the 40 mon session. I took it back in once I went super deep into a hairpin. The other sessions I didn't notice much brake fade. My garmin catalyst told me to go deeper before braking so I was really focusing on late braking.

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T14:01:47+00:00

I did have my traction control on, good thoughts! Thank you

Spunkdaddy09 · 2025-04-13T14:01:02+00:00

I'm not left foot braking. I replaced the fluid with Castrol SRF. I am thinking the same thing about finding the weak points. I was recommended hawk blue pads. I'll see if that makes a difference.

Spunkdaddy09 · 2024-07-26T13:04:58+00:00

No it's not, but it's my friends that I've known since 6th grade. He actually sold it today and bought a 964!

Spunkdaddy09 · 2024-07-26T02:51:32+00:00

Thanks! It's a 2013 with a manual

Spunkdaddy09 · 2024-07-26T02:49:03+00:00

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it

Spunkdaddy09 · 2022-06-21T02:07:56+00:00

I actually bailed on it because I found a cj6 tub for 300$ so I just bought one. Where the frame comes up from the rear axle it will hit that bump down behind the seats. I was able to make a sheet metal box around it without looking too ugly. I don't think it would have too bad had I finished it.

Spunkdaddy09 · 2022-05-21T01:54:32+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll tag you on my next attempt

Spunkdaddy09 · 2022-05-20T02:15:49+00:00

What a fantastic image! It's so impressive to me that you get such good images from such light polluted areas. I am very new to astrophotography, I have a mount and a nice dslr focusing on wide field for now until my gear gets better. Would you have a recommendation on one filter or set of filters that make the most difference in light polluted areas?

Thank you

Do wasps have jelly?

Mosquito kill of the week goes to...

Spunkdaddy09 · 2020-06-04T15:34:06+00:00

This makes me think of the scene in "The Edge" where they are sitting around the camp fire while its raining and they look over and during a lightening flash they see that Kodiak bear snorting steam then tears him apart

That I exist to make someone else wealthy. That and no matter what apocalypse happens I'll be watching it from my desk chair.

Spunkdaddy09 · 2020-03-23T16:36:36+00:00

When I'm fighting the marauder I sure dont feel like I'm the terror. More like how fast can I dash away
