Thanks a lot for updating my Journal Ben! But you forgot to say that while you were here you also fixed my brakes. But you had fun doing it.

So yes, it turns out that my new pads / rotors really just need to be bedded in properly (AKA Ben / Track style) and now 95% of the vibration is gone and the car stop like all hell. Between the rotors, pads and especially the r-comp tires I feel like my face is getting pulled off my head.

Oh, no doubt they are not very attractive. On of my friends dad gave them to me from a set of ASA's he doesn't use any more. Needless to say, I will be buying the correct Enkei ones ASAP.

I didn’t make Ben drive the PIMP ASS MiniVan. He drove my STi home and in the process was shooting flames from my exhaust at Jake (who was following behind). I think he had a fun drive home.

I need Ben's permission to post those pics. But I also have one of you driving a Poland Spring bottle.

Uhhh....I won't ask why Alex has his shirt off for you guys

EDIT: Haha, didn't see Alex's post above mine. I'm guessing substances were involved at that point in time

I wish I could say that substances were involved, but the 3 of us were 100% sober . I just think my house we a little on the hot side so I decided to start stripping. Because I am so drop dead sexy, Ben decided to start snapping pics.

I am just curious, you run R compunts on the street? But then run your stock wheels/tires when you track?

It seems a little backwards, but running the stock tires on the track let you learn the car much better (especially when you've only done a couple track days).
