    brake pad/shoe reviews

    Eyeballs, As you know I use HP+ on the 2 for track. Other than that I would just run the stock pads. I tried the Hawk ceramics since we liked them in another car we were testing, but they aren't that good for the 2. I will put them back in after thr track day just to save my HP+, but I wasn't...

    What did you do to your Mazda2 today?

    I rolled the rear fenders to make sure the rears don't rub at Road Atlanta. Oh and I changed the oil and put the good brake pads back in.

    flatlander937's Mazda2 build - SCCA STF / NASA NXF

    When you checked tire clearance, any idea how much camber that was with? It effects it a lot. With my 225's I have about 3/16" Zach

    Alignment changes with wheel/tire size

    Tony has one and I have a big one with 8-9 different cars on it. The front is like 0.98 or something. Just the effect of the angle of the shock. Also there is a big one available online. I forget how to find it. I have it saved somewhere as well. My sheet is simpler and get you 98% of the...

    Alignment changes with wheel/tire size

    Sorry to be overly detailed, but you don't always loose camber with a mcpherson front end. It all depends on the angle between the LCA mounts and the mounts for the upright. If the angle is <90 degrees you gain camber. If it is >90 then you loose. Now where does the car stand when at...

    Track days

    I was using HP+ with ATE Super Blue, yup living life on the edge, lol. The last track day, I had some fade, but that was the 2nd track day on that set and they were half gone. I also forgot to bleed them before hand so I don't know what might have been the cause. Luckily now I am using...

    Well my car isn't actually that low at all. It is 6" from the ground to the bottom of the pinch weld. I think it was about 23.5" from the ground to the top of the fender arch. I can probably go an inch lower and still be ok which is where I want to be when I do the new hop hats. I am...

    Track days

    As Dan said the only thing which we really need are better pads/fluid. Other than that even a stock 2 would be fun. As an example of how hot the brakes get. The rotors I used to have were powder coated to prevent rust. Well I remelted the powder coat. Looked pretty cool hen I got off...

    So I have been tweaking the dampers to try to get the handling and ride pretty good and I have been surprised I have not been able to get it as smooth as I thought. This is the stiffest sprung car I have worked on, but I was still surprised. So on Saturday after getting some other stuff done I...

    I have the rears on pretty much full soft and I think it is about right. I just need some events to really tell.

    This morning I decided to take the clover leaf near our house on the way to work with "purpose" It is an interesting cloverleaf because they are all different size turns, and different shapes. One is even really a fast 90 degree which goes into a slow 180. Anyway the car felt great. Like...

    So I have had the fronts in for a couple of days now and unfortunately I have not had that much of a chance to test them out much because of work. This weekend I should have some time. From what have seen the front is definitely better damped. I think that the rear is just too much though...

    More pics from when I was assembling everything yesterday. Time to go head back to the garage and take a look at the corner weights and align it.
