    MT Buyers Only: If MT was not available, would you still buy a Blackwing?

    Side note: Coming from a (tuned) 2019 Audi RS3- I will never buy again a front wheel drive car. It sucks all the fun Out of it. To the question: no MT no BW.

    PDR as an after market install?

    That’s a shame. I’m getting tired ( in my track car) of worrying before each session about the GoPro , phone with TrackAddict , GPS unit and OBD unit…

    PDR as an after market install?

    This looks like an interesting idea! Thanks guys! The question is: how good is the camera when it comes to image stabilization ? Is it close to GoPro?

    4BW Track Weekend – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly (with Video)

    I had the car on Track suspension / Sport steering / Sport brakes / Track Exhaust / PTM Spot I did not feel the PTM getting in the way at all. I did feel the PTM on one wet session when I had it on Wet mode - it was pulling power on track out acceleration.

    4BW Track Weekend – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly (with Video)

    Rotor update: As noted above, after my track weekend I experienced bad brake judder. I've tried to re-bed my pads several times....didn't help. I've tried to hone the rotors....didn't help. At the end I took the rotors to a local shop to get resurfaced (you wouldn't believe how hard it is to...

    Stability Control

    Same happened to me last weekend at the track. We were doing skid pad exercise and I couldn’t turn it completely off. Tried long press as well.

    I believe it’s the same as rear pads on the Camaro ZL1 but not confirmed

    4BW Track Weekend – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly (with Video)

    It's the same part number. If you search for pads under those cars, they should fit the front (not rear) 4BW.

    4BW Track Weekend – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly (with Video)

    I’ve just finished a fantastic weekend at Summit Point with PCA. For those of you that don’t know, this is one of the hardest tracks in the country on brakes…think Laguna Sceca hard, since there’s not much time to cool the brakes and you have 140->45 / 115->70 / 100->40 / 115->70 brake zones. In...

    A little Blackwing action for Independence Day

    Nice driving! Do you use stock pads? CCB? How did the breaks hold up ?

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    So far there’s no direct aftermarket for the 4BW. Apex has something close, but you’ll need hub rings. The only direct match available to my knowledge is stock or custom made. I might have missed a new model available out there.

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I’m a big fan of the Alpins. Sadly I lost the chance to purchase 255F / 265R last Dec. For my 4BW I went with Pilot 4 A/S. They were fantastic on light snow. 20% better than Alpin in the dry, 20% worst in heavy snow. If you live in an area with a cold and mostly dry winter Michelin A/S is a good...

    ct4 v blackwing upgraded rotors

    Rotors are likely not warped , just have uneven deposit. That can happen from: 1. Not bedding the pads properly. 2. Pressing the brakes for a while after your session / engaging the parking brake. 3. Using too much ABS , which creates a pulsing action on the rotors. 4. Not allowing a proper...

    Did you pre-configure your desired PTM level as part of your V settings?
