I was having an awesome daybefore the brake pads dissapeared and became metal on metal!!!! Going through turn 1 at 160km/h and coming out 170+ into turn 2 to find out you have no brakes is definately a mastercard moment!!!!!!!!

Dissapointed I wasnt able to do the C3 though!!!

[Duncan]

hey xeqtor, you should have taken a t-car :bahaha:

Im not happy about the pads issue!! They were brand new bout 3weeks ago. I was told they were up with the best of them for track days etc................... yeah right!! The proof was in my smoking front left brakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

let me guess, ebc greenstuff?

Dont know exactly, but the place that i got them from(remaining unnamed) will be fixing this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duncan, Dan and I did the OLT. I think I will pass - Aaron is going to contact us during the week next week to let us know.

Brad - I had a concerened phone call tonight and told them what i saw re: your brakes. Suffice to say that I'm sure it will be OK. The bummer is missing out on the rest of the day - But there will be plenty more track days.

I definitley want bigger brakes now - And cheater tyres - mine were OK , but with my car, I could definitely use them - Ask Dan about my massive turn 2 lose then correction - I even impressed myself - ha ha Dan was pissing himself laughing in the passenger seat.

Nice hi speed, 4th gear drift out the back there and onto main straight. I was complimented by some dude in an Audi S3 when I overtook him down the straight.. ha ha

Came back into the pits after my only hi boost run - I blew the pipe of my boost guage - Thank Pete for the quick fix Had a look at my Microtech dash unit for peak boost - hmmmm 25PSI @ 6750 RPM - that would have been in 4th gear down the main straight - Nice !

Had a fun day as well, got out there a few times and poked the R31 a bit. Was just getting into it after lunch when i started leaking oil around the turbo though, so I parked it and took lots of photos, and car-whored with most of the SAU guys. The 31 will be back in good form shortly, even if the "only" solution is an RB25 turbo (altho if it's an easy fix, will thrash the poor lil RB20 turbo some more)

Thanks Dan/Brad/Pete/Brendan for letting me in the screamer seat. Although the only time I really got terrified was when Pete started carving it up in the 31. It wasn't so much the drift, it was the wild look and uncontrollable giggling that made me realise I was riding with a true madman....

Bring on FD2 is all I can say. My car wasn't built for going in a straight line!
