LOL, hopefully Lee and Matt get a good run in and we can all try and pump out some PBs or at least respectable times

If anybody needs some semi slicks then let me know by Monday. I have some credit that i wont be able to use all of. So can use the balance of the credit to redeem some cash from whoever needs tyres

well my car is running sweet but ive only done 150 ks on it so far wednesday im doing the first oil change

do you guys reckon its advisable to be racing it only after like 2000 kms???

or should i sit it out and wait again :D till the next one??

what do you's rekon id dont wanna screw it like last time lol...

have you changed anything in the brakes or suspension since PI?

no i havent done anything with the brakes yet but is most likely my next mod when i get some cash again

i wont run it too hard anyway

its just about gettin out there and driving the way that you aint alowed to on the street

...oh and no GTRs :( Will have to see if the GTSt / rwd boys can take over and keep the WRX crowd honest at the tops of the time tables :)

I'm in. Car is ready after a bit of unscheduled maintenance and a visit to the EPA.

hey with the whole epa thing is there any way of tuning your car down to pass the requirements even with a few mods??

Weld a baffle into an old Cat so that only half the exhaust gas can pass.

But if you have aftermarket ECU then EPA wont pass (if they find it), so de-tuning via ECU is probably not the answer.

I like the way you think...

do you know anyone who's tried that??

im gettin worried about cops i was at the petrol station just filling up and this cop gave me the biggest dirty look like i was a criminal or something as i walked to my car and started her up. (he probably wished he had one)

he stared at me for ages.. too bad his partner was inside the p/station and he couldnt pull me up as i drove off.. (Slowly)

anyway back too the subject i think ill come along but ill sit this one out.. probably wont have my final tune ready till late next week.. :)

LOL - I just looked at the entry list and there is 7 GTR's on there. So I don't know what you're talking about. Not that it matters as they'll all be trailing after the WRX of Clayton.

But are you entering Brisby?

Oh - and does anyone know if the pads from the Alcon 6 pots are the same size as the pads from the AP 6 pots?

    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks. 
    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.
