What did you do to your 6th Gen Camaro today?! - Page 152

1BlueSS · 01-26-2017, 03:29 PM

It was a short drive so I didn't completely "bed" or "break-in" the pads. But from what I can tell, they stop just as good... on the street. I completely cleaned the wheels when they were off, so we'll see how long they stay clean. OEM pads lasted about 50miles then where covered with brake dust.

No I didn't resurface the rotors. Car only has 1500miles and very few stop and go miles. I didn't think it was worth it.

Cant put them in yet, but 1.5" drop springs from Phastek came today...wheels tomorrow. Hope car is outta the shop soon!

Took care of the trans cooler line recall. Otherwise, I just enjoy driving it!

I don't really daily drive anymore and when I do its maybe 300 miles a week at most. These tires are very track focused and should not be used in wet conditions ever. Until the recent rain storms SoCal had, I thought I was clear... but I waited and now I am good. My plan is to use these for track days and get a new set of rims for my daily... still on the fence about make and tire for that. But full review incoming.

Note: Road noise is not something that bothers me... nor is drone and exhaust noises. So we shall see if these tires live up top the noise people say they dish out.

It was a risk I took, it looks to be panning out.

Installed a Range AFM defeat device today. I am beta testing their latest firmware for them. So far it works well with no CELs. I am also using an OBD extension cable with on/off switch so I can turn the Range device on and off while driving. Working as designed so far.

What version of the software are they using now? I tried this with them a few months ago and gave up after a few CELs.

The cardboard box (or unit) is not marked, so I really don't know. It was just shipped to me yesterday from their main headquarters, so it is very current. It is also contains debug code so it will flash the LEDs in specific sequence if there is some sort of error.

Looks great, do they do custom airbrushing per request there? I don't see your scheme on their website. I have a few ideas, but haven't had the time to call them.

2006Moy · 01-27-2017, 01:53 PM

Calipers are off to TPH then those new wheels go back on cant wait.
