Ran out of front brakes again, back to the metal. Am thinking now the rears are not pulling their weight so will look at some higher friction rears.

Pulled the gear box out yesterday to get the syncro's replaced. Should be even quicker now we don't have to just leave it in 3rd gear :)

hey rob how much hp or kw is this rated at?

its rated at 150hp on the japanese scale which is a bit overated compared to the australian standards. To drive feels like its got about 120-30hp but its got bulk torque and pulls hard from any speed. Why do you ask grasshopper?

i rekon my 4k will make that since i have E85 so possibly considering my car weighs 650kg i can go faster then you at winton in my rolla haha

and the use of some slicks

It will be interesting, when will you get it to Winton? I'm going to be overseas for 2 months starting in August

some time in july it should be going

ok this ought to stop the dam thing :)

 

 

 

Oh very nice! Wilwood are such fantastic value for money.

We'll find out shortly, will probably get to run it again before the end of the year.

How long were you getting out of pads before? Bad radial taper wear or just wearing down very quickly?

 

Whats the size difference between stock and the wilwood rotors?

the car would do about 45 laps of winton and then the pads were down to the metal backing plate, so all the pad material was totally worn away. The rotors were fine. I don't have specs on size difference but its big diff from stock and a bigger again than the RDA rotors we had put on it too. They are actually brembo rotors that come with the wilwood kit

i got some new boots for winton next week ;)

awesome car mate, i did the same thing around the sweeper, i had a flat left rear, as soon as i turned left it was full lock then back the other way, made it around the corner though, then the tyre popped off the rim haha
