Also had no idea about the fixed window rules. I thought if you had Lexan it was OK but maybe I was wrong. Highly likely.. haha.

gdamn reidetailing going hard with the carbon! looks absolutely nuts.
since you've picked up quite a bit from them, have you also gotten the eccentric rear axle bushings for roll center correction? if so, any opinions on them? been doing a fair amount of reading in that direction but struggling with finding a writeup on them. (+1 on costco glizzy)

With NASA the only class allowed to race with lexan windows in is GTS, they are banned in other classes outside factory race cars that come with lexan door windows. They are also banned in HPDE and Time Trials

Gotta give a shout out to Pete at 529 innovations. I managed to destroy the set of XP10s I put up front at Road America yesterday, and have another even at a track that's super hard on pads on Tuesday. No one could get the pads in time to me, but this dude (who luckily happened to be at a track yesterday that was on my way home from RA), grabbed a set of XP20s he had just sitting at his shop, and drove up to meet me as I was driving by.
yeah, he's an audi guy, don't hold it against him, but he sells pads for the AP calipers and is a carbotech distributor.

I have around 20 events scheduled this season and came to the realization that my nt01s probably won’t make it through. Some of my events are bunched up and my fear is missing an event because tires unexpectedly went to threads and replacement lead time leaves me stranded. So I picked up a pair of R888R’s @ 295 for the rears and will use the four 275 nittos on the fronts over the season. This might get me through the rest of the season. I know the 888’s have their detractors. I wanted a dot tire with reasonable wet traction and durability. Doesn’t appear that Nitto makes an nt01 @ 295 30 18 or I would have gone that route.
I’m sure the group has seen this somewhere but it gave me a chuckle yesterday. |

To clarify, I didn’t buy it as a wet traction track tire but an R compound tire that won’t leave me stranded on the side of the road in a heavy shower. |

Don't think that exists. Some are better in the damp or slightly wet conditions than others but they're all terrible in the rain. For a heavy shower, you're not making it to the side of the road.

Dont fixate on the "R" compound bs marketing. The R888r is a trash tire to be honest. Its slower than most current 200tw options and worse in the rain. I would look into some 200tw options, the ECF wears like iron and its driveable in the rain, just no the best. Its probably about as fast or faster than the nt01 or r888r. Also the r888r is probably the loudest car tire I have ever driven on, sounds like an airplane is tailgating you lol

I ran them on my other M car as a track only tire and ditched then after less than a day. They were slow, slick, and generally sketch in DRY conditions. Can’t imagine them in wet. I purchased them to try and save a couple bucks and wasn’t pleased with the offset of cost vs performance.

275/35/18 Federal 595RS-RR tire chunked at the left rear corner, '09 E92M with stock suspension out back. Too hot? Not enough pressure? Need more negative camber? I'm not necessarily trying to go faster, I just want my tires to last longer than 3 weekend events. My experience in the past with these tires has been generally good.

Well, I guess this is the excuse I was looking for to try something else.
In other news, running DSC/MDM OFF finally gave me the brake pad life I was looking for. I was going through a set of DTC70s in a few weekends with MDM on.

You are going to enjoy the XP20 and I’d be surprised if you were able to go through a set of XP20s in one day. |
