Yep, it was probably sitting in the parking lot. I used to autocross my miata but it got kind of boring for me. Which autox did you see me at? PITL @ Bronte? or HADA @ Powerade Centre?

Ever since asbestos was banned in disc brake pads we've had squeal.

"Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end ..."

Solution to no squeal = EBC Pads, especially the Red Stuff.

Hmm, don't brake... well, that could pose a problem in certain situations.

EBC pads are areally good. Even then you'll get some squealing if the temperature isn't right.
I'm fine with it. A couple of stops and the squealing stops.

Unless you're Leesha (or anyone else who has an auto) and have to ride the brake for everything, squeaky brakes for the win!!! LOL

don't forget that your mileage will be better since there's less "stop and go" driving...:-P

When I need to replace my pads I'll try those EBC pads (I still have 60% on the original ones)

Leesha,

You know, that's what Tlovr use to say.

I'm just looking out for you.

Now, now Leesha.... I don't think you want to bring age into this discussion! OOOHHHH!! LOL!

I love the delusion you live in through, thinking your VR RX-8 is faster than a VR RX-7. Or any RX-7 for that matter! LOL!!

I just noticed your headline.
A curse to men... damn... what happened??? lol

This is true. You did offer to buy my car.
It's a good thing I'll never sell her.

I always get people telling me about their first car and how they regret selling it.
Thankfully that'll never be me.
