Autocross #3 with the SR+ is in the books! The course designers Saturday claimed the course was over a mile long, and the ~80sec runs seem to back that up. It was tons of fun, but also put a ton of stress on the poor car - when a buddy saw the color of my front rotors he grabbed his laser thermometer and got a reading of 399f and 370f on the front rotors! I never had any problems on course, but on the way home realized just how squishy the brake pedal was. Thankfully the regen braking kept us safe. Sunday afternoon, I bled the brakes and put brand new ATE200 in there, verifying the pads have plenty of thickness left. My pedal feel is back to normal.
Tires: I have a set of Nexen N'Fera Sport R tires ready to use whenever I kill the OEM Michelin Pilot Sports, which is happening quicker than expected, honestly. In previous cars I could go an entire autox season on a single set of tires (RE-71Rs, Nexen SUR4Gs, Maxxis VR1, and Hankook RS4s were my last 4 sets in a Miata or S2000) but these Michelins are looking well worn already. My tire wear so far is interesting - the rears are more worn, whereas the fronts generally have more tread left except for the outer edge, which is almost dead. I had been running about 40psi; next event I'll drop the rears a bit more, down to 35-38ish and raise the fronts to 45ish to save the outer edge. What's the go-to answer for front camber, the adjustable upper arms?
Charge: we started our runs with 97% charge, and after 6x2=12 runs (no reruns) we finished with 55%. It was just enough to keep us above the magic 50% mark, at which we start feeling a loss in acceleration.
Steering: I'm learning how to drive around the stability control - basically, if the wheel is turned you might as well not hit that pedal because it won't go yet. Turn, straighten the wheel, then hit the fun pedal. I used to be able to trailbrake and start to accelerate as I start to unwind the steering wheel, so I'm having to unlearn some of that. I've toyed around with the idea of buying a Party Box, but I want to learn the car first.
All in all, I'm loving this silly car!
