  1. so, am I the only one still filing 60 dollar brake pads under "cheap"? I'm used to paying 180-240 euros for a set of front axle brake pads

  2. yeah, racing tires just say milimeters / milimeters (of the entire tire mounted onto a wheel) / inches. Much easier to read

  3. before watching the video: I launch my race car in 2nd because 1st is totally obsolete. It also gains me like a metre or 2 every time because by the time they shift from first to second. On the race track 1st is way too short, at least with my gearbox and final drive. But that's also because my racecar has a lot of torque throughout the rev range. I wouldn't launch a spec miata from second.

  4. And now about the oil of the "performance" filter that gets into your intake trajectory, the airflowmeter for instance. Of course this is an over time process and you won't notice anything the first year or 2.
