I'm a little out of touch with pricing. What is the beat deal on blanks these days? (From where?)
Probably Eric (brakeswap) or NAPA. Should be able to find them around for like $50-60 each.
That is the Brembo ones that I have problem with last weekend. The RP2 sticks so much and warp easily. The only way to scrape off the RP2 deposits is to do metal to metal braking.

Yea I noticed a good bit of deposit and a small bit of vibration from the RP2s on my front rotors on day 2...

What's everyone's plan for their S2000 in winter hibernation? Any widebody builds, big brake kit installs, custom under body diffusers, turbo installs?

I may look into brake ducting as a preventative measure. Where's a good place to buy tubing?

Fun fact: I called State Farm to verify they still cover damages to my car from an HPDE event. Not only did they stop covering damages to cars from such events, but their policy is to drop all policy holders who call and say they participate in such events with their car. I thought I'd share in case anyone else was feeling like being open and honest with their car insurance company.

Oh no. Was this an anonymous phone call? Or did you get dropped?

wow.

Fyi I switched to Progressive from Snake Farm. Saved about 300 a year and got more coverage. And this was with a new home policy too.

For similar reasons, I refrained from tagging most folks in the couple of pics I uploaded to FB.

This is one of the reasons I am no longer on FB. Insurance companies and many other slimeballs troll for this type of thing.

((Future employers as well)
