Mid July update:
With the ASTs on, the next job was to remove the Wilwoods, and re installed the oem calipers, with this done I bled the front system with RBF600 (my choice of brake fluid) also I shall be ordering some DS1.11 pads again from G on payday, be interesting to see what they are like with oem calipers after racing with them in the Wilwoods.
The car is booked in with Mark Fish prior to the Silverstone weekend for a corner weight session, then the next day I shall be doing the test day (Friday 8th) at Silverstone, few jobs to do on the test day, mainly to fine tune the suspension set up, examine tyre heat/pressures due to uprated springs and obviously to get used to how the car handles. Also be a bonus to get some laps in under my belt as I have never driven the National circuit. Last time I was at Silverstone was in the RS4 in 2010 and that was on the Southern Circuit.
Race weekend at Silverstone with the Triclolre Trophy, we now have our own stand alone race then a combined Nipon race. Really looking forward to this, its just a shame we dont have the numbers for both races to be stand alone, so if your thinking of racing, come and join us. I dread to think how long the days will be with 4 stand alone races though inc the Nippons.
