carefull..............lol

[70fan]

Id be hanging up the overalls for good if I did that



on the plus side, I did beat my PB by 3 secs!!

As an occasional marshal, it pleases me that we're not on the targeting radar

Conrgrats on the PB!

As for better brakes than APs, how'd the M5 do? Looks like a fair amount of stopping power was applied.

[JT]

Not sure on the m5s brakes, but it's something I need
to look at, as I was snatching brakes most of the day

My rear camera did work and you can hear all the lock ups.
If anyone is interested in looking at the rear view, I'll upload them, otherwise I won't bother,
It's a bit odd watching it all from the rear! Lol

Always interested to see a video from the track, might pick up some tips!

Are you still running with a servo? A servo less setup would give you better control, though they'll be harder work.

...output pressure is what, careful now

[MoleT-5R]

If your compressor has a regulator on it, just wind it right down and slowly increase the pressure back up till you are holding a little more pressure than the car would be expected to generate, this is what I knocked up recently to test mine.

your organisers are really rotten to us drag races as the dates always seem to clash, but I will get to see you race one day, how much does it cost just to enter the championship JT ?? not including getting and building the car and maintaining it.

A whopping £100 to join Project 8!!!
Then race entry fees, approx £300

Looks like you've got quite a bit of understeer through Luffield in that second pic, was that when you had you rear suspension set wrong?

[claymore]

They're all having you on the brakes, is there anything you can do to improve them?, and I think it might be an idea to do all your boost joints like this:

yea, way to soft on the rear, but we also made a pressure adjustment for race 2, which seemed to improve things.

its here I'm having the problem



but I think the problem is the hose is too short, cant get a decent amount of purchase of the clamp




But I'm liking your idea

as for the brakes........................????

if I push them too hard, they seem to over heat and lock up, but if I don't push, I lose time
I ruined a set of DS3000 pads in only a couple of trackdays, a few laps at Donny and Brands GP??

need to move some weight rearwards, and make use of the s60r brakes that will be going on over winter
