That’s more of used car prices are dumb as hell. Unfortunately the GT86 is still kinda pricey, NC Miatas crashed a little bit. E46 330i’s in serviceable conditions can still be found reliably (reliable? lol) for around ~5k.

I’ve seen people have good results with vinyl tiles as shims.

It's an extra step, and it seems that all of the apps have caught up by now, but an option is to use something like RaceRender to do the overlay in post.

Hawk Blues are more robust than HP+; however, the compound is old old old old old (and probably shouldn’t be used on track, much like the HP+).

I'd trust the Blues over the HP+, my comment was more of "don't use HP+ at a track day and don't use Hawk Blues unless if you got a brand new set for like $5".   In the case of the HP+, 800F ain't that hot; a Miata on 200TW tires can get them out of bounds.

Depends on the manufacturer, jesus christ Carbotechs are/were notorious for how finicky they were about bedding in procedures and making sure that the transfer layer was good. On the other hand, Hawks DGAF and I would swap out DTC-60s and HP+ regularly on the fronts.

Do you have a spare set of wheels for your Mustang yet? If so, grab DTC60s set and forget.

I’d look into something like a Spec E46 (or a truck+trailer if you don’t have one).

That's interesting that the rulebook is now looking at shaft diameter for shocks.

BlackMK4 posted:[brakes/tires stuff] Did you have to remove the Stoptech kit to be legal? I think this is where I was getting a bit confused as to why you didn't have points for Xidas; the Nanking AR1 and Maxxis RC1 are both 1.6 points. I'll have to look at the rulebook sometime this week. It's interesting to see how the rulebook has changed, though. Rest in pizzas 225s on a 9" wheel lol.

You’re not setup for the track; get another car or do buckets

Isolationist posted:Not sure who pissed in your cornflakes - you started dipping a toe in the water by going full racecar? I did 2 HPDEs in a bone stock NA Miata. I used the insurance payout when a neighbor totaled the car that Christmas to buy a suspension (sway bar, coilovers, wheels, etc.). The next HPDE I attended, I spent the entire weekend with my knee in the door card and holding onto the steering wheel to keep myself in the seat. The next time I took it on the track, I had buckets and 6 points. I have no patience for people getting cute when it comes to safety stuff. The point of safety gear is to prevent injury or death When Something Goes Wrong; as far as I know, nobody goes to a track day planning to crash.

I’d be interested in what you have to say about the k24 swap issues I’m looking to get back into things and I’m idly looking at NCs and ZZWs… I have some apprehension about the MR2 because it’s struts on all 4 corners…

that review of the ft86 xidas solidifies my thought that I don’t want to deal with a platform that doesn’t have xidas available
