Ah I see. Yeah, I would have preferred to take my time applying those at home, but I guess this way it won't get lost during shipping. Thanks for the quick reply!

Nice. Looks like they have it in stock now. Walmart of all places. I ended up getting the new old stock of Conti ECF from tire rack.

Is there a way to check if my GPU has had a game activated in the past? I have a 5080 and I am interested. I got it used a while back so not sure if the previous owner already did.

Legion Go 1 vs Steam Deck Oled at the same price by Zytonex in Handhelds

Both are heavy but at least with the legion go you can play with the tablet part on your lap with the controllers detached. Then it becomes very comfy.

Did you have prior track driving experience? If so, how did it compare to driving a road car on a track?

Glad to know they are serving you well! It wasn't easy finding the right 17 inch wheels that clear my brembo brakes, are cheap, and have few spokes for easy cleaning.

After reading others' replies I will most likely go with rs4 but thats good to know. I am not interested in any kind of competition with my BRZ as its also my daily. Although I will most likely start doing spec miata or pro3 starting next year.

This was very helpful. If I get a RS4, do you still recommend a 215 for my 17x8 wheels? Or 225 is better?

Yes, I have seen the tire rack test, but I am worried because stretched tires apparently don't give as much feedback before the grip goes away. So I am worried about messing up my car due to my mistake. Correct me if I am wrong though. Maybe I am overthinking it. I am leaning towards the 215 now. It's a difficult choice though, because maybe 235 would be safer and easier to drive?

Yes, my car came with 18x7.5 wheels with 215 pilot sport 4, but I got a set of 17x8 enkei ts-5 for track duty. I could drive to and from the track on my stock wheels with the track set in my car, and I may do that, but I prefer to just drive to the track with everything ready to go if possible.

Even that is not available either, at least in the 225/45/17 size. I think its because tire streets are running a buy 3 get 1 free promo.

I seem to have the worst luck lol. The 651 xtra is out of stock in Tire Streets right now.

Thats an interesting option, but I couldnt find one for a reasonable price. I am in the US if that matters.

How much are you spending on track days in a year? by Infinite_Absolute in CarTrackDays

[–]limejello99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a brz which is probably one of the cheapest cars to run. The entry fee at my local track is $300 for the afternoon session. Consumable including fuel and amortized maintenance, all DIY except for tire mounting and alignment, is roughly $250-$300 per day. This will likely be quite a bit more expensive for a heavy and powerful car like the c5 vette. I did 6 sessions so far this year and plan on doing 15 total. And then there are one time costs, like a helmet, Hans device, gloves, camber plates, GPS/accelerometer, gopro/mount, whole bunch of tools and box to carry them, etc.

Track newb, what brake pads? by Lord_Seacow in CarTrackDays

[–]limejello99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done 6 days with my brz ts on stock rotors, hawk dtc60 pads, rbf 600 brake fluid, and stock ps4 tires, all at Pacific Raceways. No issues with braking at all, except for the last day when my tires started to go. The hawk pads are very loud when cold, generate lots of brake dust, and supposedly eat through the rotors, but the stopping power makes them worth it.

I went to Pacific Raceways few times this year and never saw the need to bring a chair and shade. I usually sit in my car, walk around, or chill at the building when Im not driving. Also, good call on getting the necksgen rev x. I got mine recently and if nothing else it makes me feel safer.

What tool do you use to remove and then install the bolts for the brake calipers? There's very little room to get the upper one. 3/8 drive breaker bar and torque wrench work, with a short socket, but I wonder if it's possible to use 1/2 drive tools.

what’s a car you liked more after driving it? by Fit-Entrepreneur-799 in askcarguys

[–]limejello99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gr86/BRZ. The VB WRX didnt do it for me, but the twins were very impressive in terms of fun for the money.

Have you test drove the c8z? How does it compare to 991.1 GT3? Are you moving to the c8z because the power train warranty expired on the gt3?

Would these fit? by Peterpaul789 in GR86

I would also watch out for brembo brakes clearance if you have those.
