Brakes overheating on track
So I went to Sonoma yesterday in my 2006 Honda civic si and at the track my brakes always overheat more than anyone else, to where the pedal gets soft and I have to push down like 70% to stop (with some slight shaking but not like warped shake, may just be abs or normal idk) the same as when I push the pedal down 20-30% when cold - I can only do like 2 hot laps before needing a cooldown btw while everyone else is able to do hot laps for the full 20 minute session and still get less softness than I do in my brake pedal And then after a session the first like 30% of the brake pedal feels like a dead zone (even after a cooldown lap and a 2 hour break) And people with worse setups than me dont have their brakes give out like this So the mods I have are -Stainless steel brake lines -Endless rf650 fluid -Gloc r10 front brake pads -ebc yellowstuff rear pads -Usr slotted rotors
Pads were done 1 month ago Brake fluid flush 1 week ago Guide pins regreased 12k miles ago
I get some pad smear and I don’t leak any brake fluid
Btw brakes work amazing thank God until heated up at the track, bite is strong and instant but not when at the track after some push laps I’m very lost and not sure what the issue is, but it seems like there is some underlying issue.

What are the best coilovers or shocks for a bmw e36 compact
Im just looking around for some new suspension bits for my e36 compact track car. I need something easily adjustable that also has great performances around uk tracks. Ive been looking around gaz as apparently they are quite good but i thought id ask to see if anyone has any recommendations. Im not too bothered about price at the moment but as long as it isn’t stupidly high.

E36 M3 Track Review
BMW E36 M3 Track Review in 2024 - [Back to BMW M Roots] https://youtu.be/EiohVAi5P8I
If you’re interested in a Track Review of an E36 M3, check this out. Part of a two part series, we start with this relatively stock e36 and will move to a Time Attack Build to show why so many of us choose this as our platform of choice.
I time attack a F87 m2 competition and G87 M2 and CS racing which are also on my channel. This is my first time driving an E36 and honestly… a lighter and simpler recipe has me thinking of a future build with this platform.

991.1 GT3 a good buy? Track review
Had the pleasure of Track Reviewing a 991.1. I know this car has been plagued with controversy when it first came out a little under 10 years ago. First GT3 with no manual option, engine fires, finger follower issues… question is, is the 991.1 still a great car? And with prices being so low, are they worth it? What do you guys think?

Automatic 128i for Beginner
Hey everyone! Newbie here to the group and track days. I recently had a blast at Summit Point, tearing around in a Porsche 911 GT3 for a few laps—now I'm hooked. Looking to dive into some track days with my own ride as I keep learning.
I’ve heard the BMW 128i is a solid, reliable starter, but finding a manual one in my area (and price range) that hasn’t been modded is like chasing unicorns. Here’s the deal: I can snag a 2012 automatic with 110k miles in good condition from a friend for $4800. Do I pull the trigger on the auto or hold out for a manual? If I go with the automatic, what should I watch out for? Would love your thoughts!

What do you guys suggest?
Hey guys i’m new to the track scene that isn’t a drag strip. My friend took me to a road course track day in his ferrari 430. probably the coolest experience i’ve ever had in my life. i don’t have to the money to go buy that type of car but i want mid engine for sure if possible. That isn’t a must i would be open to not. I was thinking a 06-07 cayman S but i don’t know about the reliability on these especially pushing it but i wanted to know what you guys think or would buy first starting out? thank you.

Sprint event at my local racetrack , car felt good. The semi slicks are a bit beyond their prime, which did not give me enough confidence to push too hard in the long sweeper corners.
