There's another track sponsored weekend on 4/12 out at ECR. I'm out of budget, tires and brakes to make another one before the end of the year though.

It was a cold windy day, but a lot of fun!

Sorry I've been slacking. Still pretty irritated with my brakes. MadA knows my pain now.

Dude, I don't know how you drive in your run group with that brake issue, hope you get it fixed!

I'll be at the Apex April 4th event at MSR, I just have a bump noise when I turn left or right at slow speeds to figure out, probably my bushings.

Sorry ive been out of it with work and moving. I havent checked this site in a while.

What happened to your brakes?

I went out to ECR last Sunday for the Charity Run with PCA. The improvements they've made to the track seem pretty decent. Now just need to come up with the funds to make an event.

Yeah from what you explained to me it sounds like bushing. I remember thats what was wrong with my buddy's Miata now that you mention it. Time to pick up urethane bushings. Do they make a urethane bushing kit for the G35? Might be something I'd even look into.

What happened to your brakes?
A severe case of knockback. Since I'be got the BBK I've been dealing with it. But I've gotten sick of it. I'm going to put an order in for knockback springs as soon as I get some details back from Stoptech about what all I need. I'll be MIA till then. I've spent loads of $$$ trying to fix it, funny how the springs only cost about 5$ each once I find the right ones.

Time to get the Z prepped again...

Anyone else going?

I got the knockback springs on order. But still waiting on the RE-11's from Tirerack. They are on back order for a couple weeks yet waiting on the first shipment from Japan I think. They better be kick @$$ because the RE-01R's were sweet for track use.
