I was thinking something like this Car Dashboard Suction Mount Tripod Holder for Camera | eBay but better quality. Camera house had the professional (like what they use on top gear, 5th gear etc) dual, tri and quad suction cup mounts with a screw tripod camera mount but it was something like $140 for the triple cup one. I don't really want to spend more than $80. I was going to mount my new little toy Nikon J1 on it.

I'm going to buy one and see how it goes (as soon as I remember my paypal log in... dang). It's a lot cheap than the belkin phone mount ($3 and I can use the missus' Sony NX5 camera which is the same sensor as Sony Action Cam video.

New tyres on the Polo so we'll see if it is any good.

Filter is a 5 minutes job so no excuses will be taken!

I was having a look through this photographers website and came across a few familiar local speed demons, might get us pumped for Sunday

Okay, Lakeside has been given the final numbers so everyone who is on the reserve list will get auto-placed on the main list for the next one (unless we have any people pull out at the last minute tonight etc)

Lakeside said they expect it to still go ahead on Sunday morning.
We have friend tomatoes being organised instead of bacon for our vego friends.

Go the tomatoes!

So stoked! I've been practicing my heel and toeing. Going well so far but still needs some work. I do think I'll need the ceramic pads probably after this event or the next as I have noticed the cars brakes don't seem to be quite a on/off sensitive as they used to.

Sorry Clay the new spring seats for the KMAC strut tops won't arrive until next week so I'm out for this one

No worries, almost all the polo's pulled out.

[veggiemight91]

Woohoo! Confirming my spot clay! Plus one for breakfast

I'll be there. As long as it's not raining, I'll be running. Even if it's raining I'll be heading up to see my folks, hope they don't mind the dog on the leash again, the missus will look after him.

Rhys, it could also be your fluid which has boiled so deteriorated or your rotors have glazed. If you're tracking regularly (as you have been), would be worth changing the fluid to a higher temp. Glazed rotors are from cooking the pads, so sounds like an upgrade is needed, though would want to get the rotor machined at the same time, or upgrade rotor.

Kogan also has a sale on the Go Pro's if anyones interested.

I had the EBC redstuff before, and they squeeled and eventually crumbled to pieces on Marullan NSW race track. I also have seen crumbled EBC pads on another Golf GTI.

I have been using Stoptech Street Performance Pads and they have been performing very well on track and have not experienced any brake fade yet so far.. also very cheap too!
