Done.

This car was bought new in February of 2008. It has ~26K miles on it, the majority of which are highway miles. It does have the autodim mirror with compass, and the only option it doesn't have is the GPS. (Just added weight, anyway, right?;-)).It was autocrossed for one season, and has seen...

Sleepers rule! We should have it for a while, so I'll likely be in touch. GT

Just to follow up, we've got everything straightened out. It seems as though Ken and Steve have been put into awkward positions by their vendors. I'm happy to report that the issues with the pads and the rotors have been resolved, and I should be ready to go for VIR next week. Thanks go out...

I am in contact with both Ken and Steve at Protege Garage, and we are very near a solution to this. Apparently Hawk was providing the wrong numbers to their retailers. We should have a resolution soon. Thanks to all those who helped, I think we may have ferreted our a problem.

Nutari, I did receive your first e-mail, but then heard nothing after I got you the part numbers for a day or more. Not even a , "Great, thanks for the numbers, I'll check on that for you." I've just been real frustrated with this whole order, and unfortunately it's my first experience with...

Thanks for the responses. The front ones were in fact correct. I'm really glad I didn't try to force the rear pads in. I have tried to contact both Ken and Steve at Protege Garage all week, but have had no response. I'm a little disappointed with their customer service. I guess I'll just try...

The part number for the Hawk pads is: HB571 F.605 Does this help anyone?

I searched for this, but couldn't find it, so apologies if I missed it. My question relates to the installation of the Hawk HPS pad in the rear caliper of the MS3. The Hawk pads have a totally different spring retention system than the OEM ones do. The OEM pads have a spring that comes off...

Yes, you may. Though you should consider **** stick as well. Also fun. I've got the Ecstas on now and have an event this weekend. We'll see how they hold up.

Just passed 8K and they barely made it. I've got a set of Kumho Ecsta SPTs going on tomorrow. Now before everyone goes an calls me a "fuckhead", I've got 4 autocross events 1 autocross school on those tires. Rotated them after every event too. That being said, I probably need how to drive...

Check out GoProCamera.com, and look at the Motorsports Hero. The have a great set up for racing that you can use almost anywhere on the car. the whole deal will cost you less than a regular digi, but will give you far more options. I use it for my autocross stuff.

I know I should probably just look in the manual, but how does one turn the Traction Control off? I know how to run off the DSC, is it the same button, or a different process?

Ah, so that technique is much like what the World of Outlaws guys do, except the opposite directions. Right first then left as opposed to left first, then right.

Is there a particular way to initiate the oversteer with technique? Like I said before, I've really only driven RWD at speed, and most were rear engined as well. I'm curious to see what kind of modifications to technique I need to get the back end around, other than taking as much weightout of...

Kosh, What is this corner entry over steer you're talking about? I grew up driving VW Beetles (the old ones) so I'm used to oversteer, but not from FWD. Do you set up oversteer with tire pressures or is it just a different driving technique I need to learn.
