There is/was a club called “Touge” that ran there. I went once, in the rain, and driving standards were abysmal. Also helmets optional unless you had a convertible.

track day bro! posted:Anyone here used Project MU RC09's? I checked my pads while doing some other stuff on the car and my carbotechs are pretty much done. I use RC09s on my MR2. I had XP8s before (a good pad) but the RC09s seem to put up with heat much better and have good bite. They dust pretty badly though and are noisy at low speeds, and will chew up rotors. I've heard great things about G-Loc R8s. From what I understand they are very similar to the XP8 but are easier on rotors and less dusty and noisy.

BlackMK4 posted:RE71Rs are made of pure chetonium, they are basically a rcomp with a 200tw label stuck on it for class reasons. Yes, they are better. In a narrow range they are quicker than some of the 100TW tires. Yeah. Mine were toast after 6 track days.

Typ 200 is good. I use Project Mu lines on my MR2 and I have no complaints. I use RC09 pads from the same company. They are great but absolutely chew up rotors.

How are they wearing? I love the RE71R but their lifespan is very short.

I had my alignment settings changed and it fixed my RE71R tire wear issues. I feel extremely stupid, yet relieved.

It might be “Touge” or one of its successors. I attended one of their events approximately one time and it contained the worst driving standards I’ve ever seen. It was wet so every driver was spinning off.

KillHour posted:TMP is the closest track to me and I went there precisely once. The only time you would see me on that track is if I had the whole place to myself. And even then, I don't trust their emergency response. CSCS and OTA run good events there if you don’t mind paying more.

Sadi posted:Does anyone have a favorite street pad that stands up to mountain driving? I have stock pads on my Civic Si and faded them to hell. I’ve had the HPS and HP+ on my Miata in the past and liked neither. The HPS didn’t feel like it had the modulation of the OEM pads or much higher of a temp tolerance, and the HP+ was dusty, loud, and only lasted like two track days. Endless MX72’s are good, but pricey.

I had 215/40ZR17 A052’s on my 86 (stock wheels) - they don’t fall off as badly as the RE71Rs. Keep in mind they WILL delaminate very quickly if you are only running mild camber (I just had bolts on the front - nothing else.) and they like wider wheels too. The 215 was definitely wider than the 225/45/R17 RE71R I had before. I bought 9” Wedssports, pedder top hats, and rear camber arms for next year.

I’m told ~3 degrees up front is what is ideal. Keep in mind my car is outside of front camber bolts is stock currently, which likely exacerbated the issue along with narrow 7” wheels.
