    Thoughts on 2022 CT4V BW after long test drive

    If you don't mind black seats then try finding an example with either the base or leather/suede mid tier seats. There is a very good chance you'll be perfectly happy with one of those options. The performance leather seats are noticeably firmer and I would personally never own them. I was...

    What "don't" you like about your BW"?

    Your right. I thought it was tire temp on the list but it was trans temp.

    CT4-V Blackwing on E30 = 546 whp

    The tune will have a range that it will cover. Minimum blend at a E85 pump should be 50. So if you always fill 2.5 gas to 1 E, for example, then you would have a E range of 21% to 31% regardless. Even if the pump had e90 in it it would only be 33%.

    Tracking your V-Performance Ride = Big $$$

    I could tell it was a SV650 in your pic. I had a 2000 model that I use to take to the track.

    Tracking your V-Performance Ride = Big $$$

    Check to make sure they aren't installed if you haven't already. Some dealers installed them, both right and wrong, on the cars when they came in. If you have an air scoop hanging down from your control arm on the rear then they installed them. Also, our cars do have cooling ducts on the...

    Tracking your V-Performance Ride = Big $$$

    Ok, that's what I figured. There are 2 bolts down near the steering knuckle that you have to loosen then rotate the knuckle towards the car. This gets you another -.5 degree or so. I would make the suggestion that you find a shop in town that does alignments on sports cars or track cars...

    CT4-V What Tires

    After a miss shift on my 987.2 coming on to a straight, I just slow down my shifts now. I didn't do any damage but it presented an opportunity for me to decide whether a lap time was worth an engine. I decided it wasn't so now I shift like I do on the street and feel with 100% confidence that...

    Tracking your V-Performance Ride = Big $$$

    The numbers he posted aren't representative of novice to beginner group costs. You could go out this year 2 or 3 times at novice pace and change literally nothing in the car, just go to the track. It'll cost you nothing but the event fee plus gas/snacks/etc. And the wear on your...

    Tracking your V-Performance Ride = Big $$$

    Did they give you a print out after they were finished with your alignment? The reason I ask is that the 4BW needs 2 adjustments to reach the full -2.4 to -2.5 chamber in the front. You need to adjust the top strut mount and rotate the steering knuckle. Each one is worth roughly -.5 chamber...

    CT4-V What Tires

    Regardless of the sl vs xl load rating, the 200TW tires are going to have much stiffer sidewalls than the OEM PS4.

    CT4-V What Tires

    You're over driving the stock tires. The 4S isn't going to last if you're running intermediate pace or higher as they're a street summer tire. Like mentioned, you need to upgrade to a 200TW tire. If you're killing your fronts after 3 track days and running the full track alignment then you...

    CT4-V What Tires

    I agree. If the tires start to feel greasy near the end of a session I just pull in. It's not a big deal and if it was I'd buy another set of wheels and drive 200TW tires to the track.

    CT4-V What Tires

    Tirerack is showing the fronts in stock now. If you select 2 of them they're showing delivery for me on Monday. If you don't track the car then honestly it doesn't matter.

    CT5-V Tracking 5BW Advice

    What exactly is the compromise. Based off the article you posted, there are only 2 functions. Stage 1 warning and Stage 2 limp mode. If you're never triggering the limp mode then it doesn't matter.

    CT5-V Tracking 5BW Advice

    It's no where near $1500 per track day. Even if you replaced your tires, rotors and brake pads every 5 track days that's only $620 per track day. Front rotors are $1100 shipped and you can change them yourself in less than an hour. You should be running track pads for $500-600 and not $800...

    I’ve found the secret sauce (track pads)

    I only have around 300mi on mine so far as I've been commuting on my motorcycle but I'd say the noise is not that bad. It depends on what your daily driving habits are but so far the pads only make noise in a window around 5-10mph with light braking. Basically, if you're driving around town...

    ct4 v blackwing upgraded rotors

    Ok. I'm probably going to run the stock rear pads until they die and make a decision then.

    ct4 v blackwing upgraded rotors

    Also, help me out here. Our fronts are Brembo 380x34mm 10 post. Aren't the GiroDisc GD380.34.62BR direct replacements?
