I installed a set of R4 pads in preparation for a track event
this weekend. Initially quite spongy, but can feel the bite
coming on after a brief breakin. By Saturday, these should work
well with the BRs and 993TT rotors.

I've got the Sabelt 4 point harnesses in my car. They're red,
but since I only use them at the track it doesn't matter. Red
with green car - seems a bit like Christmas. If Santa could
only bring me 5" more boost...
