I've only ever run Brembo HC after the OE discs expired.
Lots of abuse on track, running DS2500, Pagid Blue, and now Carbon Lorraine. Never had any warping over three sets of discs. Not heard of it as a recurring problem either.
As far as pads go;
DS2500 are good, little squeal, not really...
I've no idea on the internals of a gearbox, nor the problem you're describing.
What I do know, is that the change isn't helped by the gate being like this for third;

It's very easy to miss.
Using the 790 I posted as an example, do the above, and you can have both inputs running through the amp giving HDMI picture with full sound.
Sound down on the TV, turn the amp on, turn the V+/DVD on, adjust volume on the amp, enjoy.
That's what I've got with the 890.
Exactly.
This sounds condescending but isn't meant to; press the loud pedal less.
With only the front two wheels being driven, you've got far less traction available compared to 4WD, so there's not so much for you to use.
If you're wheelspinning, you are simpy asking the front tyres to do...
Brembo HC discs, Carbon Lorraine pads (which were cold).
Trouble with the pads is that unless they're hot already, you get a massive increase in brake effect 1-2 seconds after starting to brake once they heat up, so on my private airfield, it's tricky to get full on retardation going on...
100% correct.
The R-sport ECU gives me almost 8,000 rpm to play with.
1st into 2nd was a mess as I let the revs get away from me in first then clipped the limiter. The rest of the gearchanges are deliberately slow and unhurried.
In my defence it has done over 96,000 miles (still on the...
That's in daylight.
On the way home just now, the sparks were up around the wing mirrors when I gave the pedal a proper press.
She saw it at dusk, so 'halfway across the road' sounds about right.
:approve:
But I don't think the stripping has made the slightest difference LOL
Might be because I was on track tyres that I couldn't get any heat into - the revs flared in 1st and I clipped the limiter.
Disappointed with my 100-0 as well - I make it about 5 seconds dead.

I was out filiming 0-100 and 100-0 runs earlier today on my private airfield.
After one 100-0 some random woman in a Zafira pulls up behind me as I'm stopped fiddling with my camera and waiting for the runway to clear. The camera was still running as she got out and came up to my door and...
Eh? What problem?
I've never had a situation where my throttle hasn't responded 100% as it should.
Why do all the Ph-Q fanboys rave about the cable throttle?
Do I not appreciate it because I've got an R-Sport ECU which improves throttle response?
I've had mine since new, December 2003, 96,000 miles ago.
As a package, for both on road usability and track capability, at the cost of ownership there's nothing that comes remotely close.
I genuinely 100% love mine.
I ache for it when I'm on holiday, dream about it, and can think about...
