Regarding tpms are they truly real time with readings? You should do warm up, a few hot laps, then take a reading when tires are at its hottest and adjust pressures with a (real) tire gauge and let some air out if necessary. Or if you don't want to lose seat time, run your session, do a brisk cool down lap at about 75-80%, come in measure and adjust as needed. Before the session you tire pressures will be low, the tpms will sound, then you'll reset, but when you start your car again for the next session, it'll read low again, repeat. Such a hassle! lol. My tires change by 10 psi, I don't need a tpms bothering me If you aren't driving at speeds yet it may not matter (minimal psi change). If you want them for piece of mind ok. I don't know how deep you are into this sick addiction but eventually you'll start not caring about tpms guaranteed.

I've been looking for a thread like this. So all of you with 10+ track days how does the car hold up so far? Still stock brakes with just pad swap?
I'm looking seriously at buying an M235i (test drove and loved it) to replace the Golf R I should not have purchased. I also want to do some tracking with it maybe 5-10 days a year max. I'm trying to figure out if I should wait for the M2 and spend the extra scratch there. But the M235i is fast/fun enough I think. I just know M cars usually have better brakes/suspension and of course more power etc. For perspective right now I am tracking a JCW MINI coupe so I don't necessarily care about brute force but more handling. |

Also some people are better drivers which means they can and will use their brakes less. It's tough to know. I think I over brake a bit because I'm still fairly new. |
