Hmmmm, 1:08 in a stock Evo? That's pretty fast. Not sure what I was getting around at before my off at BR. It was around 1:08. That course is not tight and I could see where AWD would benefit through T10-T11 and TT5-T6. I was using bling-bling rotors instead of stockers... big difference.

 

I haven't had any problems with my stock brakes.... i run race pads, but the brakes themselves are awesome. I brake way later than every Hatch that i race and I outweigh most of them by 450lbs (per the rules).

If Honda Challenge S2000 upgrades brakes you get a 150lb weight penalty....not worth it with as good as the stock brakes are.

 

^ Huh? I normally would run stock brakes and track pads... they are better than bling-bling rotors fo' sure.

 

There was two Evos there running 1:10ish... This was my third track day on the same S-02s... I was sliding all over the place, but Im learning so I didnt care as much... I was too fast for 2nd and a little too slow for 3rd in those first 4-5 turns before that back straight... A little more grip would have helped me ALOT... Also, I have no idea how to do that last turn before the front straight... I even went off course near the end of the curve on the inside... droped my two left tires (spun 180 degrees) like I said... still learning!
