I will pretty much do that regardless of whether our engine blows or not.

Pete has a history of getting lit at the Shenandoah circuit.
We'll be there racing the ReVolvo. Come see us. Hopefully we'll still have a motor and be in the race by the time your sessions are done. Otherwise we'll have to sit around and watch Pete get lit and spray paint crap on the car like last time.

So, you are saying I should keep an eye for a can of spray paint and stay away?

Don't stay away! We'll probably need help, and the Lemons pits are really fun.

Finally motivated myself to work on the S today and put it back to street duty.
During the last trackday I developed vibration in the brake pedal. Since I already had spare rotors here I swapped them on today along with putting the street pads back on. The brake pedal feels great now and rock solid. However, I found that both front calipers had torn boots around the piston. I'm currently debating on switching to the accord calipers on the front since I have to change them anyways. From the reading I've done -
Pros:
-Large caliper (3lb heavier) that will better handle heat
-Larger piston (3mm) - most likely non-difference in the real world
-Larger pads
Cons:
-I already have a spare set of XP10 for s2000 calipers for the front. If I switch I need to sell these and buy new track pads.
-With the accord caliper swap the rotor sits closer to the inside brake pad than the outside - possibly leading to uneven wear inside/outside.
-3lb heavier
Looking for some opinions. Stick with stock front caliper or upgrade to accord?
