In this case it's all about the driver. For example there's no way I should've come in front of any of the roadsters.

The goal of the day for me was preservation of speed. Last year I ran a 2:10.xx. I was hoping for a 5 second gain and was pretty happy when I heard the 2.02.883 time. Of course the Leaf is way under powered for a track like Laguna Seca so the strategy this year was to put on a sticky tire, in...

In a straight line the leaf is almost dead even with activeE. The 4,000lb curb weight is to thank for that. I think more than one ActiveE driver was weary of pushing too hard for fear of wrecking their leased vehicle.

A few pics from Sunday.

If anyone else has pics and video form the event post'em up!

So from what I can tell, EBC, Hawk, Disc Italia (?), Axxis have offerigns. Nothing more that street performance application from what I can tell though.

Thanks Eric. Interesting that the part number is also an application for Nissan Pathfinder, Xterra and Leaf. I wonder how aggressive of a compound they would make for a "truck" application.

Anyone know of the leaf shares brake pads with any other cars? I'd like to run a more aggressive pad for the Refuel event at Laguna Seca in a few weeks. My first inclination is to check the Altima, but I'm not too savvy about Nissan cross-application fitments so I thought I'd check here.

FYI, I'm running 18x9 with a 32mm front offset and a 30mm rear offset with a 225/40/18. For the refuel event in July I'll probably be looking at a set of Falken Azenis 225/40/18 or a 235-40-18. The 235 will require a slight roll to the front fender. Also the amount of camber you are running up...

The Leaf app and the green charge app have not been able to communicate with car since April 18th. I'm gonna try pulling the fuse.

I'm in. Tired of banging my knee on the center stack.

Phil just so I understand correctly, is the work you are doing 1-way? That is, taking in car data and manipulating the output to provide more detailed feedback to the driver or can you make changes that will affect drivability? Such as increased regen, revised throttle map, disabling...

Subscribed. Excited to see what you come up with.

Motor swap anyone?

Haha, I'll claim that. That was literally using the throttle as an on/off switch. Very low regen too because I was always braking at the limit of the tires.
