Cheers lads. Not going Combe no, hate sessioned days. Must admit I'm tempted just to get on a dedicated session with WR

Sneak preview straight from the Harry's lap timer app. The phone wasn't setup for optimum filming view hence the mirror in the way, but it will take me a while to figure out how to incorporate my front/rear & data into 1 video

I had a look at the car earlier mainly to check the brake condition. I need new discs and pads.





I cleaned these the day before the trackday.



And had a look at routing some ducting. It's close on full lock but I could maybe cut a bit of arch lining to bring the ducting close in and away from the wheel.





Could run along with the ARB



Wheel on full lock



See what I mean about it being close. My original plan was to attach it in a way that it covers the hole, but doing that means the wheel will most likely hit it.



This is with the wheel facing away from it to give a clearer idea of possible routing



So once I've figured out what route to go with the ducting out of the fog light duct, it can go along the arb and down onto the lower arm and face the hub. Is facing the hub enough or is better to be something more specific?

Is this stuff good enough, only 125 degrees max though?

Or this mac daddy stuff from Demon Tweeks?

My best quote so far is £240 for Pagid RS29 Yellows, and £240 per rotor for 8 grooves. Plus I need the 12 bolt set for bells to rotors.

Calipers definetly need a spruce up, it's on the list for a winter clean up aswell as the caliper being rebuilt.

Thanks lads. I had front & rear Go Pros, then I use Harry's Lap Timer on my iPhone to record the data and I am using a program I found called Race Render to edit it all, it takes so long to edit videos now to be honest but I love howit looks once all done. I've still got loads of bits from the trackday to edit including 2 battles with an Exige S but it just takes so long
