Very nice! Get yourself some of this stuff to remove the tire marks that are probably all over the front and side of the car...it works great!

The tire wear looks pretty even. What alignment do you run?

I took before and after photos for that very reason, I was going to see what they looked like after I had a chance to clean them up a bit.

Corner weight and alignment
Front -3 camber, 9 caster, .03” total toe
Rear -2 camber, .07” total toe
50.3% cross weight
55.6% / 44.4% Rear/Front weight
Swaybars are mid/mid
OEM Cup2’s 32psi front and rear 34psi 'hot'


I have ride height however, I don't have the reference point for the measurement so its no use to anyone. It is slightly raked and a touch lower in the front than factory.

More details on the suspension from here - https://rennlist.com/forums/718-gts-...ve-struts.html

Note to self:

Ask for a big discount when buying edub’s car. It has seen some hard time at track.

Seriously, those are crazy lateral G’s.

What brakes?

I use it on PPF and have never had any issues.

First you'd have to get me to sell it.

I think the lateral are high because of cambered turns but I couldn't say which ones they were. I look at braking as the indicator of potential grip, which matches up with the roughly 1.10g lateral the car did in a steady state sweeper turn.

The brakes are stock pads, iron rotors.

I'd be a little hesitant to use anything stronger than the Mother's R3 remover. Those adhesive removers can be pretty strong! I've used the Mother's on PPF for about a year now and no obvious problems with doing it.

+1 on Mother's R3. Super easy, use only as needed. Any residue cleans up super easily with a wash.

3M makes an adhesive remover for use on residue from their tape after removal but I have used it on painted surfaces and it did not cause any problems and only did was it was supposed to do: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40070711/

i have tried so many products for removing the after-effects of a track weekend i have lost count. by far this is the best product i have used:

https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c...+and+tar&pos=4

spray it on a dry surface, wait 30 seconds, use a microfiber cloth to wipe it off, wash car. safely works on PPF and ceramic coatings. i found a lot of reviews on a motorcycle forum i am on and everyone swore by it, so i tried and it and fell in love. it smells great too!

for a point of reference i spent 3 days at daytona (worst track i have ever been on for rubber debris) and my white car was mostly black in front. ended up using a full can that time but in under 5 minutes the car was white again. as noted above it also works great for removing bugs from a bike.
