I think we have maybe 1 more track day on this tires and we will be moving on to something stickier... Advan A502's or maybe Toyo R888r's. We don't drive this car on the street except to go to the track and back (maybe 8 miles total). Will love to get new wheels but they are not in the budget, hopefully in the near future since our wheels are on the heavy side and I'd like something I could run without a "spacer".Looks like some great progress and welcome to TMO. Having autocrossed or road raced with my son since he was 15 ( he is now 4 months away from 41 ) I can tell you there is nothing better than working and racing with one of your kids. You are likely to get bombarded by members, but remember the #1 thing to go faster is tires, so look at your next major purchases as a set of Apex wheels ( currently on Sale ) and some sticky rubber --- your tires are good for Endurance racing across the US and Back, ha. Look forward to see how the car progresses and I know you two will be having a great time together.
Hey Stephen! My son and I have watched a bunch of your videos.Nice looking car and welcome.
The cobra brakes are a great improvement for this car. What pads are you running? I would recommend some track focused pads since that is all you are doing with the car. Is there a reason why the ABS is deleted? ABS really helps braking deep into corners confidently.
Maybe I missed it, but what is the car being built for or for a specific class?
I made some brake ducts but haven’t tried them yet… For the bumper this is what i came up with using stuff I found on Amazon and ebay and to redirect the air to the rotors I saw a vid on YouTube and stole the idea from it, using Porsche Macan parts I found on eBay for $10.Good thing to do would be to contact KNS Brakes or OP Mustang for some brake pad information and good prices. Plenty of folks on here use them for brakes and brake products and do tell them you are a two driver car.
You definitely need an aggressive pad are do you happen to have any ducting to keep the rotor and pads a bit cooler - if not that is a pretty necessary option in my estimation.
