Im very hard on my brakes..Ive been told by more than one instructor.... I have been working on my driving habits so I can be smooth and easy and be set up berfore the corner instead of trying to get set up in a corner (does that make sence) and yes I have the goldies going on my car next week....

Thanks gary and Im looking forward to having a fun time and maybe you can take a ride with me and give me a few pointers????..... Im never too old to learn

We are hard on brakes. ;) Which is why we use AP Brakes. Everybody I have sold a kit to say it is the best investment they have made and many used to have Brembos before. If you need pads to handle your abuse on the brakes, let me know. I have a good street/track pad available for the the Brembos.

As far as getting a ride, not a problem. I am not the fastest out there for sure but I am pretty consistent. But yes you want to be setup before going into the corner and not setup once you are in the corner as that is something that many people do wrong.

Thanks,
Gary

OOOHHHH Im looking for a good price on a sti 6-speed swap? how much is the discount that day? 10%? J/K I know you dont sell those,but maybe some new front and rear pads to go with my new sti brembos? Oh one more thing do you know of anybody making touch up paint for the gold brembos mine already have 3 chips in them? maybe because they are so close to the wheels? Thanks and see you thursday.....

SKSTI · 06-13-2008, 08:58 AM

I think I want in on this.

I've been on the track numerous times on motorcycle, and did a few sweeps in automobiles. You think it would be ok if I hop in the intermediate group?

I actually do and it is a trade secret to know where to get the touch up paint for those gold calipers. ;)

What wheels are you running?

Make sure you are ready for it. I know about half the people in the intermediate group and they are all quite fast. Intermediate is a group that has the largest difference in driving skill. Because you will have novices moving up for the first time and you will have those who should be in advanced but are just not there yet. Not trying to discourage you, but just giving you a heads up that is all. :)

But you should definitely come out and see how things go. Get a ride with some of us and see if you would be ready for the level. :) Plus a good chance to get some sweet deals on parts from us. ;)

Thanks,
Gary
