2014 World Time Attack Discussion

[Ben C34]

That is the dodgiest shit I have ever seen. Amazing someone could do that to such a critical component.

Crazy.

Thanks for this info, I'll pass it on to a mate of mine who is having/has had work done there just to make sure he checks everything himself.

That's utterly appalling and is grounds for legal action, in terms of negligence.

Sux is one way to describe it.

On closer inspection we believe it's been ground by hand, not as a result of scrubbing.

There's only the lightest witness mark on the rotor, certainly not the damage you'd expect if it was in contact enough to destroy the arm.

The problem is the clearance to the rotor, obviously when the rotors where installed on my car, instead of correctly spacing them, the person (who shall remain nameless) chose to butcher my arms instead of doing things properly. To hell with my expensive arms or my safety!!

In the words of the workshop who currently has my car:

The issue is the incorrect brake rotor offset. The existing front brake set up is an absolute mess.[/size]

· No rotor location to hub, other than on the thread of the studs

· Rim location to hub is only 1 mm

· Calliper not central to rotor

· Calliper body fouling on dog bone

· Calliper mounts in uprights have been drilled (opened up to allow radial alignment of the calliper to the rotor )

· Dog bone to upright threads stripped – calliper was loose.

· Etc etc

WTF!!!, that's is truely farked up, luckily that didn't end badly for you whilst lapping this thing

And the reason I do all my own work, then I know what's going on and feel safer tracking them

[hrd-hr30]

Jeezus! how long ago was that done? If you've been tracking it like that, you're a very luck bloke!

Someone trying to kill you buddy?

[Anfanee]

That right there is taking weight saving to a whole new level....

[fatz]

holy shit

[gtr jet]

And I thought I was dodgy. Imagine if that thing let go at 200+!

[bri73y]

It's been like it for atleast 12months. Lucky for me my car hasn't done many laps during this time......given I've only made it to lunch twice in the last 12months.

We've been so busy chasing "other" issues it's been missed.

Certainly now on the must fix list!!

Wow, lucky it wasnt worse i guess... Shonky basterds...

It will be resolved properly after WTAC. For the moment we'll just try and add some strengthening and do minimum laps Fri/Sat.

Pretty much all you do at WTAC anyway... Pick a session with reasonable weather and go do 1 hot lap, then park it like a pro..

Haha fair enough... Will see you there

[AMR33]

I hate dodgy workmanship with a passion. People like that need to be taken out back and beat with a hose.

On a positive note, all the best to those competing in this year's WTAC. Eager to see how Richo goes in clubsprint.

So apparently it is going to rain Friday and probably Saturday.

Will be interesting to see who has done some wet weather testing and how quickly the teams respond

[No Crust Racing]

Is there much cover at the track for spectators? I've never been.

Bring an umbrella?

Did you see the rooster tail from the S15 in testing

Yes and no... Brolly is a good investment me thinks...

[Tonba]

Grandstand will be fantastic this year... lol

[fatz]

would be awesome if it rained and then the only dry session was one of sau's ones and they win the event!

[niZmO_Man]

Take an umbrella and a rain poncho.

[No Crust Racing]

Just hit my local golf shop for a big cheap umbrella and a poncho.

Come at me Sydney.
