hey guys... went to track again and took the sportivo for a nice run on a circuit club trackday... variety of cars there including a e55 AMG, done up s15's, many integra dc2R's and other various cars...

managed to pull a 1:19 flat on my first lap... we had official timing so yeh was pretty happy because the best i could do before was a 1:21

best time i had was 1:17:797.. came 14th on the day... very happy that i got in the 17's... i was trying all day! haha

well goes to show that sportivo rims are friggin heavy! my new lightweight rims make so much difference

I went yesterday as well, dirty black corolla levin wagon with one foglight missing.

it was stinking hot...i only managed a 1:19.4 in the practice sessions in the morning but had fun the rest of the day.

soon man should be down ther ein the next month i have no excuse i have my helemt and my new tyres was going to get brake pads but i think i will just run these ones out first.

got a lot of expenses after getting clutch and tyres so maybe end of march ??

then i will have a very slow time but a time.

I found the stock toyota brake pads to be pretty damn good.

in fact the whole braking setup is very good on the levins (not sure how it is for the sportivos).

The pedal starts getting inconsistent before the pads go off, so i would personally change fluids first.

on street tyres, the oem pads are great!

yes the pads are good. the rotors aren't, they warp very easily

havent had any problems with my rotors so far- touch wood.

and they have been to at least 5 trackdays(half of which were in stinking hot summer).

the oem corolla brakes are imo very good!- more than adequate for trackuse on street rubber.

Provided you don't ride the brakes or leave your breaks on at traffic lights I find that they don't warp that easily.
