Serious? I thought it would take more than that to keep up with your car in a straight line, what power is Blaise running?

I'd say there might be a 1:22 in it at Sandown the way my car is at the moment, although I don't know how it will handle the ripple strip abuse.....

Blaises car is 280awkw's - but only 1240kgs. compared to my 330rwkw's and 1620kgs he has me smacked on PTW. Kills me in a straight line.

But 280kw's on a 2.0L EMO with one of those cheater EMO 9 RS turbo's and E85 is not that hard to achieve.

I still wouldn't do though as then I'd have to start wearing a dress on weekends.

for those on the lazy here is a direct link straight to Troy's sliding action.

Mat, I'm on Blue Stuff front and Yellow Stuff rear. Got em from these guys http://ksport.co.uk/.

iirc the rear pads for $135 landed and the fronts were $170. My Fronts are big though. 6 track days down and the rears have 85%, fronts have 40%.

I used PMU HC+ from rhdjap when I had the standard calipers, but was only getting 3-4 track days out of em. They had better initial bite than the blue I have now, though very much the same. But at $250+ a pair...

I'm not sure if you can get some hawk pads form the states on the cheap cheap with the dollar?

LOL...really appreciate you posting those pictures. For the life of me I cant hear when the RE55s lock up. I have been told the AO50s are a bit easier to drive on as they give you a good squeal. But yet to try them. I am running far too racier a pad for my weight of car and rotor size as they really are nice after a number of laps, but up until that point when they are still coming up to temp they are easy to lock up. The flip side is they are very kind on rotors, but alas they dont seem to be too easy on tyres when they are cold :)

The original idea was to go as big a rotor/caliper setup as I could get under a 17" wheel then run street pads as they would offer plenty of cooling. I wanted to try the PFC06 as they are an endurance pad and are qiet, low rotor wear and not dusty....but they are hard to get up to temp

Also, doesnt help that I have big ARC front swaybars on rose joints which really need to be set with the ride heights and corner balancing. No surprise that the brake locks ups when there is a little turn in and trail braking going on and I suspect the big fron swaybar is unloading the inside tyre when there is body roll

Second last lap of the day, wasn't the fastest but Natsoft shows it as a 1:35.9. Notice around the 1:20 mark the wheelspin from the faulty ACD not giving me drive at the front wheels.

If only I had a clear run.....

Lol that was an interesting entry for the sweeper indeed :)

As quick as the Evo is that soundtrack leaves a lot to be desired :D

Snowy - that weight diff is huge...close to 400kg makes a lot of difference. I'm surprised that the R wouldn't catch the the Emo higher in the rev range.

Thats a cool pic!

Watching Jacks vid side by side with mine the biggest difference is straight line acceleration! Corners are about the same, perhaps me a tad quicker... but under brakes and in a straight line I am being murdered....lol i need e85

Can only imagine what the difference would have been with your previous setup, much more response than what you have now so your corner exit would have been much better. I say go the e85, hopefully it will wake it up in the lower rev range.... :thumbsup:

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
