Ok, so I have been doing some searching but it seems I haven't really found much. I haven't been on Honda-Tech much lately because of my job, but I am still planning on trailering my ITR (for the first time getting hauled) to my 4 Expo this year.

What I am in need of some guidence of... Brake pads, high temp brake fluid, tires, and the thickness of what the rotors should measure if I am needing to replace those.

I already got a hold of Advance Auto Parts and also Autozone for front blanks ($25 each).

Can anyone help me out with suggestions and or reviews?

I am considering Azenis tires on the oem rims and also Cobalt GT Sports. My instructor last year told me it's time to graduate to a better pad than that of the Axxis Ultimates I have used the last 2 times (MAM and Gingerman)(freebies from Expo 3 raffle).

If someone can provide me with some links or phone numbers on where to purchase would also be good.

Thanks Guys! I wished I still have a desk job, so I could spend all day, getting paid, surfing HT!

 

GT sports, ATE Superblue , bleed before the event, call it a day.

ha, was about to post the same thing . can not go wrong with any of that

 

Your thinking appears to be right: Azenis w/ GT sports. Alternative tires may be Kumho MX or Hankook (I forget the model).


Contact BlueR on Honda-Tech for the Pads and probably Discount Tire or Vulcan Tire for the tires.

 

Is Cobalt sponsering the Expo this year? I thought I read somewhere you could get 10% off purchases if you mentioned it or something.

As for your choice of parts, your on the right path. If you do decide to do rotors though, I would suggest the Legend Sedan rotors (94-95 model) as they are just a little bit thicker.

 

Cobalt is sponsoring the event, as they have for years past.

Give them a call... go to their site http://www.cobaltfriction.com

 

Vic is also sponsering the expo, and he is a cobalt dealer. i need to order them from him also....i cant remeber his user name but he runs VPR motorsports

 

Thanks a lot guys for the positive responses! I just got home from work, and now it's time to go to work on the computer. Hopefully I will be able to get all the items by Friday so I can make sure I have enough weekends to finish up (unlike last year... my tranny was still off my ITR at Noon the day before).

Where can I get the ATE SuperBlue? I remember last year, I ended up going to the local Napa Speed Shop and I know a guy there that ended up selling me on some Wilwood EXP600 at $16/pint. I hope I can get the ATE or Motul a whole lot cheaper.

 

Autozone blanks
GT-Sports
ATE Super blue

All parts are going in this weekend

 

I have GT Sports and ATE Blue, Gold in stock! I also honor the same EXPO sponsorship deal Andie is offering from Cobalt Friction. Support those who support EXPO.

But last I checked TireRack isn't an Expo sponsor.

Buy it from Victor.

Gotcha

 

I am just waiting on a response from Victor. Thanks everyone.

How much should the Azenis set of 4 cost? I haven't called up Discount Tire yet. Also, does anyone remember the actual model of those tires, or of any other good track tires?

 

RT - 615

Sorry for not mentioning you above Victor.

615's are good tires.

 

my setup for the last 2 years. with stock wheels with 205 azenis
Motul RBF600
goodridge lines
colbalt Spec-B front pads
Axxis ultimate rear pads
love it so far

 

Vulcan is a good place to get the Azenis.

If you've got some track experience and you're ready for R compound track tires, Edge Racing has the RA-1 in 205/50-15 for $120.

Cobalt Friction can sell you the brake fluid (and rotors) along with the pads. Get Motul RBF 600 - the boiling points are higher than ATE.

 

im not going to the expo (sorta on the other side of the globe at the moment) but I am looking for the same thing.

Im gonna support the supporter...PM sent.

 

well, I found that the Azenis RT-615 in 205/50/15 are running @ $73 a tire.

I wonder where I could get these put on for next to nothing.

I am almost considering just driving the ITR instead of trailering it since gas is even more expensive today, and also the added cost for a trailer (nearly $300 for 5 days from Uhaul).

How many cans of ATE should I get? Also do the Motul RBF600 come in a larger container?

Always keep 1 extra blue & 1 extra gold. It's handy to have extra if you track very much. Plus, you never know when you might need to bench bleed or any other issues.

(yea - I need to bench bleed my MC 'cause I accidentally let it get too low while bleeding each wheel over the weekend. Made for an interesting race )

Call around. Some places list their mounting/balancing prices on the Tire Rack installer website. In a lot of areas, Wal-Mart's tire department prices are low and they often are pretty good. But beware of any tire place, to make sure they will take care of your rims and not scratch them.
