Tech sheet says no hubcaps/center something. Do I need to pop out the H on the OEM wheels, or are they talking about those deals that go over your lug nuts in?
Brakes on, brakes bedded, going over everything else and getting a little excited.
No Robb, not like that

I'm working on getting mine there. I got a head start on it by melting away parts of it while using the heat gun when rolling the fender!
R-comps and OEM suspension FTW!

Why would you run OEM pads for a few sessions and then switch to track pads? 
Street pads SUCK on the track. There is NO advantage to running street pads on the track. They fade quickly and will not last very long. Why tear up a perfectly good set of street pads? Just so you can experience the thrill of pad fade as you enter the a corner?
S2000 brakes are excellent with the right pad but OEM pads are completely incapable of handling threshold braking at track speed for more than a couple laps.
This is like saying I have a set of studded snow tires and I will run them for a few laps and then swap over to my RA-1s. If you have track pads, put them on.

Last year there was a tire vendor on site that could mount up your new Nittos for you, don't know if they're coming this year or not though.
I'm so excited I just wet myself a little...

Ed rode with me one of the sessions, I think. I did it in my 330 all the time.
It's too late for me to get some track pads. Maybe I'll just shortshift at 6k or something to keep the speed down.

You should try ptunning.com. They are running a Scion tC on sunday and they might be able to bring pads for the S.
