I may need to tap into some of the track experts tomorrow morning. I finished up all my track prep today and took the car for a test drive. When I let off the brakes I sometimes get a weird noise coming from the back. Unsure on how to explain the noise and it doesn't happen all the time. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm pressing hard or light on the brakes.
I took the brakes apart and everything looks seated properly and in the correct position. I rebled the brakes and did get a little air out of the system. I'm going to head out earlier than expected so I have extra time to troubleshoot tomorrow. I'll probably be there around 6:30.

^^^Carbotech xp10F/xp8R. They were pre-bed pads but I did a simple bedding process. After running on the track today the noise is still there but has decreased in consistency and volume. I think the noise is related to swapping the rear swaybar endlinks and not loading the suspension while bolting them down. That's my guess right now anyways. When I swap back to street pads I'll test my theory.
This winter I'm going to need to go over the bushings in the rear end. Some noise associated with letting out the clutch as well. If budget allows I'd like to get some Ohlins as well.
Overall, torque is fun.

Against all odds my gopro remained attached to my car while in the front grill and attached to the top of the car. This is my first time using my gopro and it really did its job well.

sounds great, at least what you can hear on the crappy audio. That's why I tossed my GoPro, the audio sucks inside that case.
