So I’ll be taking my C8 Z51 to the track next month (Buttonwillow 13CW) and need to get new pads. Last time I went I cooked the OE pads and rotors, and ended up with DBA Rotors on Carbotech 1521 street pads as replacements for street use. I know the 1521 pad is not rated for track use, so I'm looking at Carbotechs track focused pads.

I see a lot of people use mismatched pad compounds front to rear, and I’m wondering why. My understanding is that it’s beneficial when you can manually adjust brake biases but on a stock car that’s not really possible. I’m currently looking at XP10s, should I just stick with XP10 all around or do XP10 front with XP8 rears and if so why?

Thanks!

Edit: I should

Hi Everyone. Recently had my 7500 mile service completed and had a quick question for everyone. On my invoice there's a few parts (ATF Flush Kit, Filter). There's a line item that states "Performed trans canister replacement and topped off fluid". My Service Advisor (Who isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, I deal with this dealer because of the Costco discount on service) says that's expected due to fluid loss during the swap.

I previously had the car at the shop getting the 2L Track Fill add prior to a HPDE event I went to, before the 7500 mile service. After this "topping off of fluid", I'm concerned they only topped off to standard levels not track-fill levels. When performing the serv

So I've been a pledger for Star Citizen since the very beginning, watching the GDC demonstration and pledging once I had some money (in 2012) as I was a high school student. As it's been 16 years since that presentation I've gotten engaged, and overall am playing fewer and fewer video games.

So I'd like to see what my account is worth on the grey market. Here's what it currently has:
- Rear Admiral LTI Package: Ship upgraded to a Starlancer Max.
- Sabre Raven Game Package
- LTI Zeus Mk2 MR (CCU'ed from 300i -> 325i -> F7C-M -> Zeus Mk2 MR)
- LTI Drake Cutlass Black (CCU'ed from Aurora MR ->Cutlass Black)
- Free IAE 2655 Referral Bonus Dragonfly Star Kitten Edition
- Misc F

I have now returned from my Colocation rack in Fremont and have inventoried my items. Some stuff got sold, and I'm down to less stuff now, hurray! Few changes have been made, and pricing has been adjusted.

Hello Everyone! I am clearing out a lot of my colocation at Hurricane Electric's FMT2 datacenter. I will be driving back from the Bay Area to San Diego, but ideally would like to get rid of some of the heavy items before I transit home. I also have tons of cabling and DACs so if you buy equipment you're likely to get lots of goodies. LOCAL ONLY at this time, I will entertain shipping once I return home.

So, I'm sure I did something wrong but not even my mechanic can figure it out.

I just completed a full brake refresh on my 2015 FiST. Brake Lines (Whoosh Braided), Powerstop Rotors (Yes Drilled and Slotted, etc etc), with Ford Brake Pads (The OEM Compound, I like the bite). I used new bottles of Ford PM20 fluid. The problem is after bleeding the system 3 times, along with an ABS service bleed, I am still getting a spongy pedal. The car stops reasonably okay, but the pedal goes far too far to the floor for my liking. I don't really feel confident driving the car and definitely am not going to make the track day I originally wanted to go to.

I took it to my mechanic to have them take a loo

Hi everyone,

Currently looking to get into a more “fun” vehicle, and I came across a 2021 Supra that’s CPO for 47k before TTL. 15k miles, looks good. Dealer wouldn’t let me drive it (crock of bull but whatever) but I did putz it around the lot. I do have a few questions:

- Does the price seem reasonable for a CPO?

- Should I be concerned about the oil consumption issues reported on the 2020-2021 MY cars, even with the CPO?

- hood has a partial PPF, I couldn’t figure if the rest of the bumper also has PPF. Should I just assume the bumper is PPFed as well?

- I know the ‘21MY locked the ECU, but it happened later in the year. Carfax shows the car was delivered in December 2020, is ther

So I’m sitting at Lifetime gold, with 3y left to hit lifetime platinum and 532/600 nights required. I’m 18 nights from platinum this year, but I also am at a job that has drastically less travel so the rest of the nights will have to be personal and not work-sponsored.

Is it worth getting the Marriott card that gives platinum status for 3 years to bump me up? At a cost of ~100 a night I don’t think I am going to get 18 more nights this year and frankly based on the posts here I feel that the Platinum juice isn’t really worth the squeeze anymore. Thoughts?

Looking to pick up a Seeed Studio ReServer. They still have them for sale new but I'd like to see if I can get a deal (and if anyone here is looking to sell theirs). Barebones is preferred but if you have something with RAM/Drives I won't rule it out. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking at Zs recently and want an opinion. A person on FB marketplace is selling a 2010 base 370Z (shows as a 2009 though so might be a 2009) with a clean title. It apparently has a 50k mile engine and trans out of a 2013 JDM 370z, as well as a Greddy GT exhaust. It also has a LSD, probably a VLSD from a junked car. I’ve talked him down to 9,300, what do you guys think? I checked the VIN and it looks good at least from the free checks.

So I left my Airpods on the plane. My mistake. It was the last flight of the evening from SAN -> SFO. Once I realized I had left them on the plane I ran back to the AL Baggage counter and let them know. "Cleaners will look for it in the morning".

So I figured okay, I'll pick it up when I'm outbound from SFO on Sunday morning. However, that never happened. They didn't appear to look for it or anything. During my trip I watched the Airpods move around the airport like it was in a vehicle of some kind. So I called the baggage office and explained to them what was going on. "That's weird I'll talk with the supervisor". Nothing. On the day of my flight out, I went to the baggage office and was
