Nulon Nationals Rd 2 - Wakefield Park Track Day...

[Duncan]

Well with a bit of luck I'm ready to go for Friday, finished a quick tidy up of the car today and have the new tyres on. Its been run in, tuned, spanner checked, aligned and seems to run OK

Is everyone else ready to do?

Custom catch can is now all fitted and the brake pads have arrived, just gotta get them in and i should be right to go

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

Im waiting for my new front rotors, but have thrown in the new pads incase they dont arrive. cause to old ones look like this.

and this is what i pulled out of the gearbox

but otherwise im on track

Haha well at least we suffered the same issues! I did 2 sets of pads and a gearbox

What pads do you run out of interest?

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

Ferodo DS3000s, they chew the hell out of the rotors though.

Edit - i mean before they backing plates were on the rotor!

Haha yeah was going to say the backing plates wouldn't have helped the rotors life

[Duncan]

well at least you got good value from them.

If you are both chewing through pads you need something more aggressive. Hawk HT-60 are excellent track pads if you can get them in the size you need

I am trying out the Winmax pads from Brake Direct... The rears are a W5 which are similar to a DS3000 and the fronts are a W6 which are similar to a Club Racer from memory... Meant to be pretty aggressive for a standard sized pad! In saying that i still have them in the boxes and not in the car lol... I really should sort that out

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

got good life out of them, i think. i've had them in since 2012 and done maybe 5 trackdays a year. is that deemed acceptable?

that said, i wouldnt mind trying something else. although they are the right pads for my callipers i have to shave them down 2mm each to fit. very annoying..

I reckon that is a pretty bloody good stint I went through 2 sets at Wakie lol

Brakes Direct have some good options and good advice, ask for Greg and see what he can do for ya?

I will most likely go bigger fronts when i can afford too...

I take it that it's this Friday by all the prep and chat ?

I'm hoping that means an easier Friday for me rather than fixing lots of things... Lol
