The Carbotech AX6 pads I've had a very interesting experience with. When I initially installed them, they are touchy as HELL. Like after 2-3 stops(warm up a tad), it gets to the point where you just tickle the pedal and it throws you forward into the windshield. Get into ABS at 25mph coming to...

So it's been a while since I've updated anything here, but a bunch has been going on... Some stuff I've done over the winter/right before the season started... Added a DDMWorks short ram filter. I also bought a Corksport air intake duct used and it fits mostly OK. I could cut down the tube for...

Very nice, looks awesome! What size wheels(dia, width, and offset) do the new DJ cars come with stock?

Nice work! Where is the camera mounted? Hood?

Not sure exactly when I'll be up, but at some point in the next 2-3 months I'm planning on meeting up with Jeff to corner balance and play with alignment on mine... It's very similarly set up to his.

The clutch master and pedal assembly are integral to each other. You can't buy one without the other. DR-61-41-300A Also I see no bulletins anywhere. Do you have a document number? Internal bulletins generally show up at least on one of the 3 tech sites I have access to. It sounds like the...

Yeah, ignore the DDMWorks sticker on the Corksport duct, I bought the duct used from Jeff at DDMWorks... Who had the whole CS setup from before he even worked there. I just didn't remove the sticker he put on because laziness.

Sure thing, I'll do it tonight as long as I'm not stuck in traffic on the way home. The DDMworks MAF housing mounts that filter a bit further out(K&N I don't think fits as far down the filter , so it sticks out of the air duct on the driver side about 1in. I will cut down the MAF housing some...

This is with a DDMWorks intake and a CS cold air duct. The duct still allows heat soak but it's dissipated quicker once you get moving again. Right. I was pointing out that because it's a filtered PID you won't really know what ambient really is until you've been driving around for a bit of...

The stock O2 is similar to a wideband in the way it works, but a true wideband has a 0-5v range, not the 0-1v that our stock Lambda sensor runs at. Otherwise that's a cool mount setup! Watch your IATs in stop and go traffic after its been running for 20+ min some time. I've seen 120F on a 50F...

I kept my DDMWorks bar on during winter when I lived in Ohio. And I still had 700/550# springs when we got ~4in of snow and I drove 50mi home in it from Newport News to VA Beach a month or so ago. Use snow tires. Go slow(ish). You'll be fine.

Cool beans! Glad to see someone finally picked one up! I expect to see a full build/race results thread :) These cars are a LOT more fun than you'd expect to have in a tiny low HP econobox.

Sweet! Are you the one from tSB that I referred to here?

RE71Rs are the ones you want to win.

Well I just ordered a set of Carbotech AX6 pads. So review will be coming in a month or so whenever they arrive with all the other things to be installed at the same time(wheel studs, rotors, stainless lines).

Camber won't cause any real problems on the highway. I'd venture to guess your Miata either had a bit much for out and/or not enough caster if it was squirrelly. The 2 has a strut front end... Since it doesn't gain camber in bump like a double a-arm(like your Miata), it needs more static...

Just force it all to max negative camber then set toe. That's as good as it'll get stock. Or add camber bolts first. At max negative camber. That's essentially what you need for a strut equipped car. Even -2.5 deg won't kill tires if you run close to zero toe. I daily drive mine 100mi/day like...

Front camber is adjustable but only with whatever slop exists in the stock strut to knuckle bolt holes, and upper strut mount to strut tower holes. IIRC in my build thread I posted what I got when I first the car. Caster is basically fixed unless you buy offset lower control arm bushings from...

2 degrees will make your tires bald in about 1000 miles. Maybe you meant 0.20? If stock or close to it, run a bit of toe out(0.20 to 0.30 total toe out). Also you can loosen your strut bolts and upper mounts, push the wheel inwards to get as much negative camber as possible before...
