Lol. I think the guys at the garage put them on to tell me to manage my 'time on track' better. 😊

Nothing wrong with the temperature strips mate - quite a useful addition! I have one on my gearbox to 'monitor' the temps. It's not like a give a f**k when it's gone above the oils operating temp anyway, but it's a nice to have. Lol!!

In all seriousness though they're worthwhile to keep an eye on the temps - especially if you start getting disc issues. You need to know where/if there's a heat related fault before you can carry out remedial action.

Lol! I did that at Oulton last year! If it wasn't for my mate telling me we were low on fuel I'd have ran out on track!

Cub. · Feb 5, 2015

Thanks to @BIGASH and @LeeP86 I'll be picking these up tomorrow and getting them on the freshly Powdercoated Willys wheels.

Got crazy brake squeal from the new set up so need to do some miles to bed them in over the next couple of weeks.

Then all ready for Bedford on the 28th

Thanks for the tyres and brake ducts!

See you at Bedford!

You bunch of wristers.

RMDavis · Feb 12, 2015

What a great read Cub. I'd love to be a passenger in a charged 182 would be great to see what a change it makes!

You'll have to talk to @Ricardos then as Oli's flamer is a measly 172. And its pink.

That would be great mate thank you. I should be heading over with Dave so will hopefully see you there.

Yep. Well, I need to do some miles in it to bed the brakes in. The new pads and discs are squeeling like mofos!

Mine are too. Alex has it at the moment doing some stuff to it so when it's all sorted I'll get some miles done. Haven't even warmed the pads properly yet. They are hilarious... Squeel like fek too but it all adds to the hilariousness of the silly yellow experience.

dmallett · Feb 12, 2015

I use this on my pads to stop them squealing, this is proof I have become boring!

Jamie86 · Feb 12, 2015

Ceratec is magic!

Tony Hunter · Feb 12, 2015

This is what you need, but on the disc side. It'll be REET!

No squeeky braking, because no braking?

Tony Hunter · Feb 12, 2015

Fk me, you want a lot don't you.

Cub. · Feb 17, 2015

So, a few things I've been cracking on with ready for Bedford on the 28th. @Daniel - if you don't get tickets, welcome to passenger in mine for the day. @Tim. are you still coming along bud?

- renewed my insurance with Greenlight. Top service, brilliant price as per usual!
- I've ordered some more Fuchs Titan Race Pro S oil. It isn't using any, but I don't like having none in the garage / with me on track.
- fit the CM Composite brake ducts
- pick up Powdercoated willy wheels with Direzzas fitted.
- I've ordered some 5mm spacers. I run 16mm with the f1s / original alloys but with the Willys offset they'll scrub. Will need to fiddle about with the spacers to get clearance over the Brembos but not rub.
- fit the go pro and mount
- put some miles on it to help the brake squeal and to bed the brakes in so they don't glaze.

It will be trundling along to the SC meet in Reading tomorrow, so best give it a clean I suppose.

I've also booked Anglesey for 2nd July, and going to book the Oulton RS day.

Will update with photos as and when the above gets done :smile:

Cub. · Feb 17, 2015

So, go pro mounting. Is this a yay or a nay? It is a proper go pro roll cage mount. But don't want marshalls saying I have to take it off...anywhere better for it to go?

@NorthloopCup @BIGASH @Daniel

NorthloopCup · Feb 17, 2015

I put mine on the main roll over hoop mate. Get a full view of the road ahead and a bit of the driver as well.

JonC219 · Feb 17, 2015

Id say put the mount behind the driver

Makes videos a lot more interesting when you can see input rather than just a bonnet!

TimR26 · Feb 18, 2015

I'd leave it where it is and add a cable tie for some redundancy or try a few different places to see what you prefer. I'm not a fan of videos from behind the driver as with the wide angle lense the foreground tends to dominate the view.

Martin. · Feb 18, 2015

I prefer behind the driver too. More interesting to watch the driver input over some boring empty bits of track I find. You can also zoom in on the go pro software to get less of the s**t the wide angle lense picks up. So you focus on the window and view more than backs of seats.
