Enjoy, spend some time barefoot, they need some color. Lol. I too know the way of the farmer tan.

thahemp · 07-02-2013, 06:33 PM

I'm gonna order me some parts tonight. Hopefully they are all in stock and not fake website parts! I'd like to get busy next week if at all possible.

There's a thread over in the tuning section that Solomon started that has me encouraged. Rhino, Lethal, FSP, and Iam Broke have all offered to help us through our struggle! Can't ask for better help than that huh?

Also, that tune from Matt will be unlocked. You can compare his changes against the stock tune to help shed light on what he did and why. So first order of business for you will be to datalog back and forth with Matt so you can get a tune to reference in your learning quest.

Only the backs of my arms are tan right now... and only from yardwork! We'll get some beer drinking in from different angles and hopefully improve on my consistency

I swap pads so often I have it down to a science. I can have it done in less than a half hour. I swap pads and tires every time I head to the road course.

Where do you get them from. The only place I see them for sale is direct from CT.

I've been using Hawk Performance ceramics fo a couple years now with no problems. Good stopping power, lower dust and they last long!

TBone · 07-02-2013, 07:12 PM

^^That is where I get mine from. I also get them pre-bed so I don't have to do it. Also, if you do any HPDE type stuff, CT offers discounts on some of them like MVP and HOD, I think.

I run them on the DD, Grand Marquis, also. They have saved me from a couple of tickets on the highway from the State cops when they get sneaky.

My wife makes me pre tan before we go anywhere. Beer is an excellent sun screen.
