It’s a good overall street and track capable pad that last a long time. I just liked and wanted a more aggressive pad for the track.

@ thx what pads & disks you recommend for mainly track use ? I now use zimmerman disks & ferodo 2500 in the front + oem in the rear but after 12h on track need to replace

@ I’m using AP racing BBK with Ferodo DS1.11, it’s super aggressive but it’s a track car now with a turbo

I flash my car with the phone app

@@phelpsgarage4202 So Ecutek is way better?

@ I enjoy it, but it’s up to your tuner. Whatever your tuner likes to tune with is what I would use

@ Oh okay. Thanks for the reply.

@ you bet!

Hell yeah 👍🏻

Yeah, I can’t say I’m the biggest fan but it’s more for performance not for looks

Best track car for the money!

That’s cool you learned how to do all those things. Yes I wish we had a better solution with the RTV

Thank you! Do you own a GR/BRZ?

It kills me to know I only saved 5lbs per seat.. but I need a good seat for the track

I haven’t been to AMP but plan too! Dahlonega has some good mountains road!! Thanks for watching!

Make sure you do pads and fluid before going. I would change your oil to 5w-30 with a slight over fill and you should be fine. Good luck!!

Thank you! A shorter 6th gear would be best

Yeah, it’s going to add some more NVH

I appreciate your opinion. Thanks for watching.

@phelpsgarage4202 I do think you make great content. Best part about going to the track is learning to get faster. You will get faster. Just hard when fast guys are out there

@@MikeCB750 yeah 100%. And I appreciate that. My goal isn’t to slow or piss people off on track and yes, some people may be in my mirror for a short time, but if I have to lift for them in the past and then I catch back up to them it kind of defeats the purpose. There’s times i’ve gotten plenty of point by with a faster car, but I don’t take it so I can learn a different line through certain turns. There was a ton going on on this day due with the weather the new track with it’s new set up and at the end of the day I don’t wanna make people uncomfortable and try to make a pass in areas that will make them uncomfortable just because I gave the point by. In the future once I know the track better and the car things would get better and on top of that I could use my blinker with Chin, which I never done before, but will in the future.

It’s tuned like that for now but we will fix it going forward

No, not at the moment

Yeah, it’s easy to criticize people online but if they knew my mind and what my goal were it’s not to be that guy and ruin everyone’s day. You can tell there were plenty of times I would point by but once the car is up the temp and the tires are up the temp and it feels good, I will push the car a little harder and harder, but this track day was mainly to get data with the new set up. If you were to turbocharge the car try to just keep it on E85 and run I would say under 10 psi is what I recommend. Thanks for watching

Thanks for your input, I’ll definitely work on that

When my car was at stock power it was way too much breaking! Now with the turbo it’s just right, but yes, I would say hands-down. These are the best brakes out there.

Not that I know of.. it feels a lot better than the stock one

😂 let me know

It’s a lot of fun!!

Due to it being an overdrive, it’s too much load on the stock motor. Just keeping things safe as we test

@ Ahhh got cha. That is a lot of load. Hopefully he can taper off the boost and ignition timing to still be able to accelerate normally in 6th. Although probably not too many trucks out there where you can get deep into 6th gear ?

@ hopefully not, but Rd. Atlanta is now my home track and I can’t even floor it the whole way 🫠 hopefully 150 mph is enough with the new gear

Too much load on the stock motor now that it’s boosted

Chin, blue group

With all due respect, do I need to lift for your 700 hp GT500 too?? If that’s the case every time I do a point but I might as well just coast everywhere. When I do see people in my mirror, I know they’re faster. I wait for a more efficient safer way for them to pass, which is mainly on the straight. This was my first time at this track with the new set up and I was shaking down the car and getting some data. If you watch the whole video, you do see me pointed by a bunch of cars. I assure you it’s not my goal to over slow everyone and be a dick on track. Thanks for your feedback and watching

Appreciate the feedback and it wasn’t my goal too slow or to annoy any drivers on track. I’m sure in the video you can see me pointing by a ton of people as I warm up down the back straight and through certain sections. Lot of times I wait for a better spot to point by so it’s not so sketchy trying to pass people through the corners. This was my first time at the track and temperature is not ideal for the tires. And yes, when I can, I will give it 100% on the exit knowing eventually they will pass down the straight and as far as running out of gear, I knew it would happen I just didn’t know when it would happen. Now that I got some experience with this track and with the new gearing, that should change somethings. Thanks for watching

I agree

​@@phelpsgarage4202 Tbh if there's someone in your mirrors to where you comment on it then you've already missed a point by. If you're uncomfortable letting them pass in the corners on the outside or the inside then you need more time in slower groups.

This was the longest response I’ve had so thank you. There was so much going on this day. This was a completely new track with a ton of elevation. The temps were between 30 and 50°, which is an ideal for the Hoosiers. The car has a new set up which I’m watching Boost pressure, oil pressure, oil temp, and coolant temps all while trying to learn a new track. My goal is not to hold people back but at the same time I try to wait for a more efficient safer place for them to pass. Drag racing down the straightaway I knew I was gonna run out of gear as soon as I put it into fifth but I still like to exit and drive close to the limit as I get used to things or when the tires come up the temp. By all means I wasn’t driving all out. I did have two people riding with me and I still don’t push the car due to that. Turbo hot side wouldn’t matter because it would just spool up even faster. My issue is that this is a stock motor and pulling and six gear which is an overdrive is too much load for it. So my goal is to run a 3.73 with a slightly taller tire which should push me to about 150 miles an hour. I knew that I would run out of gear. I just didn’t know exactly when or how. Now that I got some time at this track I can set the car up different and Just cruise and let everyone pass me by not delaying anyone behind me and push it through the rest of the track. And yes, there comes a point to where I’m gonna stop modifying the car. I believe I’m getting close to that point as now I just want to enjoy it. Rd Atlanta is a big boy track due to the speed you can hit. Once I max out this car‘s potential, I will jump into a new platform. This has still been the cheapest way to modify over a supra or C8 Corvette. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching I appreciate your input. Seems I have missed the target on track. I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Maybe once you boost yours I can follow

@phelpsgarage4202 It's no worries at all man. It happens and all we can do is move forward. The track looked super crowded that day, so I'm sure it wasn't easy. It's hard finding a balance in these cars because of how frustrating it is to point by someone who seems fast to only be slowed down by them as soon as you hit the twisties. It's just good practice to point someone by once you see them in your mirror because the only reason they're there is because they're faster than you over the course of a full lap. There's no shame at all in dropping down a group for a few sessions until you get used to the track and the mods more. I frequent VIR, so it would be a blast to run with you. I'm currently debating if I want to drop all that money into my GR86 though, or if I'd rather just transition to a Supra or C8.

@ yeah I know what it’s like to be behind people that really take the joy out of us especially when we’re trying to run a flyer. This was my first time at the track in 30 to 50° temps with a completely new set up. My thoughts were all over the place. I would enjoy a Supra or even a C6Z but to me those are the easy way out. I do enjoy being there underdog and now that the car is turbocharge you can hang with some of the best... even with 4ish psi. I know once I get comfortable and know this track better I’ll be pretty damn fast and won’t have to worry about faster cars as much. The car will make more power and downforce soon with a taller rear gear. I would like to be mid 1:30 at road Atlanta by next year with more seat time.

@phelpsgarage4202 Being the underdog is really fun. I totally get that. It really just depends on what you want. I'm not really sure how much of an underdog you can be considered once you add more boost though. That puts you in a very similar power-to-weight ratio as a Supra. I personally would rather spend $55-65k on a used Supra or C8 that has more to give than spending $55k to max out a GR86. I would also much rather be able to run 93 on track to have that performance instead of being forced to haul in my own E85.

@ yeah that makes sense. Sometimes I think if I’ve gone too far with this car, but at the same time, it’s way cheaper to maintain and modify this car versus most. My car is on flex fuel, but I always run E85. I don’t know how comfortable I would be running 93 with a turbocharged GR specially on track. Eventually there’s gonna be a stopping point with this car and I’ll end up jumping into another platform. When? I have no idea 🤷🏻‍♂️ but until then I’ll keep on having fun!

Big time!

Thank you! She’s gonna get fast once we get some more seat time 😎

and dont give a point bye only to go full throttle the whole time. Let them pass!

Agreed. He would've been instantly kicked out of the "Experienced" group at both tracks I frequent. Extremely poor etiquette.

Yeah there's a serious misunderstanding by the driver of what the point of a point by is. Pointing someone by after already impeding their lap is already too late. This was the first Chin event I ran but there were far too many of these types of point bys making it only possible to get 2 clean laps the whole weekend.

If he’s on your bumper for a whole lap, he’s faster, let him go. Feel bad for the STi driver. Also course workers with blue flags would be helpful.

Yeah, we’re working on that now

Yeah, I agree. My main issue was down the back straight and I hate pointing people by in the brake zones going into the corners.

​@@phelpsgarage4202but chin blue group has no point by restrictions so that means you should be confidant in pointing people by anywhere not just straights. I understand everything you are saying being a new set up new track etc but right on chins website looking at run groups you should have been in green.

It’s too much of an overdrive and it puts a ton of load on the stock motor with boost

One reason why I let everyone pass me before getting to T10. Heel toe down shifting couldn’t happen due to the delay with the tune. I do agree it is annoying slowing people down.. not my intention

@@phelpsgarage4202 Then let us bye!! If you give a point bye, slow down! We might have power to pass you on the straights, but you hold us up in the corners.

@ trust me I point plenty of people by. My issue was heading into turn 10 and I admit I will slow people down.. but I think we both could admit that turn 10A and 10B is probably not the best place to pass somebody especially coming off of a straightaway and again heading into another one. I try to make it safe for everyone to pass, even if it’s in the corners, but turn 10 is not an ideal spot. Once I get more comfortable with the track and the car with this new set up, it’s gonna be hard for most people to pass me in the corners. There’s just not enough real estate to make it safe and enjoyable. This was just an HPDE.

The factory throttle is tuned pretty aggressive up top so the tuner delay it for me. I had him send me a different map that makes it more responsive.

@phelpsgarage4202 man, i wish i wish i could say the same. Sometimes I'd blip the throttle, and I'd have little bit of a laggy response. This is when im driving less aggressive, but still. I want a more responsive throttle.

All things considered yeah it was running really good. I can’t wait to turn it up some more.

Thank you!

Thank you!! Time to turn it up

If the transmission blows up, I would like to put a better gear set in it. Probably a PPG gear set

@@phelpsgarage4202 PPG gearset?? Zach at ZF Design did not know of anything as far as a close ratio gearset, especially when it comes to a shorter sixth gear. For my STI's I've been able to get a JDM fifth and sixth gear combo that makes them close ratio like a Group N tranny. What do you know?

Yeah, things went well and now we’re gonna continue to push it a little bit more.

It’s too much of an overdrive to be boosting a stock motor and it puts so much load on it so it’s probably not too safe to do so

It’s gonna be hard to say because I have aero on my car and at my height the way I have it balanced from front to back without rubbing. I set it so long ago I truly couldn’t tell you where I’m at, but I feel I’m on the lower side before you get to the middle section with clicks. I hope this helps

Awesome, thanks for helping the community out on this. Hope to see you on the track one day!

Chin track days

Great group, I run with them up north, PitRace. The happy hour is great for correcting stuff.

😅

It was a blast. I can’t wait to turn it up.

Yeah it higher than 1:1 and it’s a lot of load on the stock motor. I’ve seen the stock trans break at stock power levels

@@phelpsgarage4202HKS said the trans was good for about 400 hp, but I’ll probably boost my 86 between the ‘25-‘26 season, might build the trans too or just wait for it to brake. My buddy with K20 Miata just keeps trans on hand as they are only $400 and can be changed in couple hours.

@ I hope it can hold 400 whp. I want to do a PPG gear set with a shorter 6th gear if the trans gives up

Thank you!
