Spoke clearance. Circumference is limited to 15" and 280mm discs and 16" and 300mm discs unless you make your own brackets.

15" Et35 pro race 1.2. I've got 10mm spacers but I'm going to reduce them to 5mm

Depends on the wheel. A Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 needs ET30 on a 15" to clear 280mm discs and IIRC it needs ET40 or 35 on a 16" wheel to clear 300mm discs. A Pro Race 3 needs less offset as they have more brake clearance. What wheels do you have? scooby-93

If you phone them I'm sure they could do one without a centre silencer

Ahh that's what mini meant! Yes I think my alternator is slowly dying.

That's the point

Alternators generally work at their best around 2-3k rpm. So if you double the pulley size then your making its optimum around 4-6k rpm :) I think mine is going slowly so I'll be changing mine with a bigger pulley too.

Very nice car for 18! I'd have left the stripes though.

R1R overheat, they're a good wet tyre though. RSR need lots of camber or very stiff suspension which compromises the car, they work well on balanced cars like BMW 3 series, MX5 etc. AD08R would be my choice. Grips well and takes a bit more abuse.

First year I haven't been. It's a great show with a really eclectic mix of cars. Might take the Clio up the hill next year.

Graph looks wonderful! Bet it's lovely to drive.

It looked and sounded great Joe. Nice to meet you too :)

Cool thread. Just been through it all. Jealous of the move, are there many engineering jobs? I' 've got a MSc in Manufacturing and I'm doing my CEng.

Those figures sound good :) stick a graph up!

Cheers Paul, I'll be there again in November. Haha must have been reasonably interesting then! She was a good passenger, not like me, I'm a terrible passenger.

280mm discs and I've got spacers. They need a wheel about ET30. Although I was looking at Jack's aucky Pro Race 3 wheels and they seem to have a lot more calliper clearance so I reckon you could get away with ET40-45 with them.

Thanks mate. Really liked the RB you took on Wednesday. Looked and sounded great!

Thanks :)

Ok! So the RS day at Oulton went well. The car performed better than expected and the new shifter was spot on. The 1st session I took quite easy and got a feel for the car, after that I started to push on with my confidence building. The new AST suspension and roll centre kit felt brilliant...

As Steven said, just cable and pedal. It'll need mapping to be perfect but it'll be good enough to drive around gently and drive to mapping. I'll talk you through it at Anglesey in October.

My rear brakes are stronger than they were due to the inline restrictor setup but it feels good. The braking system as a whole feels better without ABS. I guess the extra effort before the ABS kicks in means the brakes are worked harder. I'll be fitting the Brembo 4 pots with RC5+ pads in the...

Very nice Ollie! Im considering a supercharger but my only concern with the Rotrex is the lifespan of the charger. I'll be fitting my Brembos in the next couple of weeks so I'll let you know how they compare. I'll also be making some alloy bells and rotors.

Mine were fine before I removed the ABS. That's the only change I've made to the braking system.

It's the first time I've glazed a set in about 8 years of track days

You got some great pictures Paul!

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) All that grief because of ring lands on one piston :/

Have you tried the Yellow Stuff?

No I haven't Mark, so they squeal sometimes! Why's that Ollie? Ok thanks for the feedback :) The bells and rotors I'm doing will be £135 posted for a pair of rotors from Hi-Spec. What are the RC6 like? From what I've read they're a bit noisy, dusty and hard on discs. Great! thanks for...
