Shopping as we speak

Nice! Dont tell me Costco have slotted discs now

[dave_r]

LOL that would be awesome! I'd buy a 10 pack for sure.

Just waiting on some pricing to come back for the DBA/Ferrodo combo. Debating about whether or not I pull the trigger on the H&R sways and W-ALK now or leave it as is for a bit. Should fix my hack driving style before trying to change the car!

[adzy]

You know you want to pull that trigger... they are great mods and you will only enjoy your driving so much more

Use track days to work out where you need to allocate/prioritise your update funds

[dave_r]

The sways and W-ALK will be good BFYB mods but no hurry.

Anyway not looking good for Winton on the 10th though, ordered my rotors/pads last night but don't expect to have them for at least 2 weeks then need to find time to fit them

Where you getting brake fade at Sandown?

No they worked pretty good until the later part of the day once I'd put way too much heat through the rotors and developed a lovely vibration. I know they don't "warp" but whatever they do technically, they were farked. Had to have them machined 3 times to get an even surface to stop the vibration. Have a lovely squeal when braking slowly in traffic now.

The dust covers behind the rotors will get removed when the new ones go on and my braking/driving method will be altered slightly.

I have the same thing after Winton but only slight. I notice a tiny vibration when braking now due to the punishment the new discs and pads received, I bedded them in properly as well... guess it's expected when tracking the daily driver

My front rotors are pretty scoured but they're still straight so I'm going to leave them until after the July Winton day (they may be rather more beaten up with the extra grip from the semi-slicks).

When is the next winton day, it the the one that is on the same day as the Island?

[kaanage]

Yeah, the same weekend but the track intro day is on the Saturday while they are holding a PIARC sprint on Sunday (same as Winton VSSC). I'm pulling my Winton entry - the flu has left me as the living dead for now & I have no idea when I will recover.

Here's some pics and video from the FFCC vs HSCCV (& G5) Sprints at Sandown on Sunday.

As much as I dont like commodores, got to love that black Monaro, i see the number plate is something 427, bloody quick

Getting a piece made up to hold the fire extinguisher in front of the passenger seat using the seat rail bolts but have to go buy the fire extinguisher first. I know it needs to use a metal bracket but Supercheap has 750g and 1kg ones.

SCA Fire Extinguisher - 1kg, Home & Vehicle, Metal Mounting Bracket - Supercheap Auto Australia
Fire Box Fire Extinguisher - 750g - Supercheap Auto Australia

My brake bits shipped out yesterday apparently so might be able to get onboard sooner! Just gotta decide what club I'm gonna join.
