Some know some dont but I'll try keep this updated as this is where it started

Last bit of aero added rear diffuser and side duel element canards

We added a header tank now just to run some water lines and give it a tickle.

Hopefully by end of March im in the seat and we can start working and the organic spacer

All fancy parts etc aside. I'll drive whatever ive got as hard as I can but I hope we just have a balanced car that only needs tweeks here and there...  which never happens 😆 

Side note: that poor gtr front bar has been chopped, added to, changed and riveted to an inch of its life lol  and was considering putting a rear bar back on now I have a diffuser just for looks but thats not just a straight fit on which the extra wide body and the rear qtr being cut so high and also the amount of this I have to get to under the back now is redic so it all might just stay like this for ease 😕

diffuser is bigger than I thought but its the same as everyone else as universal so maybe the lack of bumper or camera angle... or its just big

100% can see the value a flat floor would bring though to join it all together

Yes planning to be over east previous to WTAC and not just at SMSP - just need to organise storage of all my stuff + car etc as Im not going to drive over and back multiple times its not horrible but its really not the most  fun and I just dont have the time either

ABS - big $ yeah + install etc etc. the spend of cash still comes down to the individual ... I did fine without it but 100% I am braking better with it and have picked up time - that just comes  from me as an amateur being able to push it harder without the threat of locking a tyre and 1) screwing a tyre and 2) going shooting off into the sand which adds confidence

In essence you can use your brakes to their limit - pretty much every time

In addition - I dont know your rules and regs but the wheel sensors im now using for traction control and the torque control mapping model for the Motec

My Bosch ABS arrived yesterday, I'll be interested to hear how you rate it now that you've got enough brakes to slow the rotation of the earth. I reckon the ABS will be working pretty hard to keep up with this mental setup you've put on.

My mate runs 380mm V8SC brakes on his IPRA car, it's mental and you've gone even bigger😂

nice - pain in the butt to get that in and setup/ installed but good when done - you running sensors off hubs not shafts yeah ?

it will be interesting thats for sure might take a bit of getting used to def think lucky have setup data to adjust ABS etc to optimise asap and just tweek from there I gather

Tyre adhesion will be the challenge.

Yep....it is worth remembering anything except the shittest brake setups are limited by tyre grip for a single stop, not brake ability.

Bigger brakes only make a difference for repeated stops as smaller brakes would get hot and fade
