    2nd session of the day got the pads to smoke pretty good and experienced brake fade

    Adjusted my driving style and didn't have any other issues with brake fade the rest of the day. Using Castrol React SRF Racing brake fluid.


    Considering picking up Hawk HP+ pads though

    ^Brake fade was due to the fluid more than the pads right?

    I switched from Stoptech to Hawk HP+, I feel like I lost a lot of braking power.

    My take on Cayuga is that it's more beginner friendly and probably better for someone that just wants to have some fun but not hardcore into tracking.
    You'll get to reach higher speeds while still feeling "safe". It also feel less enclosed compared to DDT.

    DDT on the other hand will give you more thrills and scares but will make you better faster. On DDT I'm only using 2nd and 3rd.

    fade was due to the pads not the fluid, the fluid is legit

    one thing I've noticed is that the wide view setting on the GoPro really makes the cars ahead of you seem a lot further etc.

    Sorry for late reply! A friend of mine, first time out on the track. Crappy brakes and tires on top of that. I think he's pushing 300whp with an ebay turbo.

    oh man,

    i would have loved to take my 3 there back in the day.

    it would be cool to see some of you guys, new and old, at cayuga one day. its my favourite track! heres my current track/dd vehicle, i usually go on sundays with the touge guys due to work schedule. i know its quite a bit cheaper to go during weekdays

    btw sasha is quite well known as a vq tuner, he owns and runs onpoint dyno for your mobile dyno-tuning needs!

    drive safe guys

    This past weekend at CSCS. There's more time left that's for sure.

    I managed to go faster than 3 Speed3's that were there. If you guys are on here, feel free to ask for any tips! Honestly, everyone learns every single time they go out there, do not be afraid to ask! Come up to me at the track when I'm in the pits, I don't bite.

    For reference...back in 2009 when the MS3's were running, including myself, the competitive times we were running were between 1.21 to 1.25 per lap...

    Anyway...here's Fubawu...in a 215hp Civic doing 1.20...a time we should all aspire to...

    who ran better than a 1:22.6 in a speed aside from john? best ive seen is usually around 1:23.5, even way back when. records are in ota, sigma and cscs still.

    zoran was just being friendly, and spoke truth. no need to make it whos faster than who, thats not what this thread is about, about helping those who want to improve their driving.

    CSCS 2009...Sean beat me w/ a 1.21...to my then high 1.23...

    Is this about beating a speed or generally improving yourself and driving better?

    I know Zoran and I know he's being helpful...in the same light, I shared a video of a lap that will actually benefit ppl.

    Your link is for 2010...which begs the question: I know what Zoran is doing...being helpful...You? I never quite understand...

    what begs the question is why you bring up a speed reference from 2009? i dont understand you.

    im tired of the speed owner bs that comes from some of the guys.

    no, the reason is, zoran was able to drive alot better than a few speed owners. thats great and good on him. huge respect. and so what, mazdas are mazdas and i wish and still hope that a speed will take the track record in ota and cscs. but ur first reply in this thread is to say indirectly that he didnt do well because the competitive speed times were lower in previous years, who gives a fak. im happy you posted up that vid, its a great addition to making others faster, but it doesnt mean the bs you laid in there before can fly. thats what gets me, and its coming from a professional tuner/driver like yourself. cmon

    but no, you couldnt just say good job, btw heres a vid to help you go faster.
