Been working on the brakes recently to hunt out a few issue with over heating

Changed out the pads to something a bit more race orientated and less best of both worlds

Followed Ollies Gee's path and went with the V8 Super Car / NZv8 route. Performance Friction Pads



Type 81 Medium Compound




Bevelled edges for noise reduction, my neighbours will probabaly love me now instead of the screaming from the other pads which normally happens on warmup






Also thanks to Ollie McDermott working on some prototypes, these are back from the laser cutters and currently being welded up. All alloy light weight.

So been a bit busy ordering some new stuff.

New Oil housing with the elusive pressed in Oil Thermostat, yes you have to buy the whole housing just for this one bit. My old one is poked shut.







And while im at it I installed a new Ratiometeric 0-100psi, 0-5 volt industrial grade pressure sensor (Thanks to conrad for help locating one)
This will eventually connect to my new GPS datalogger project :) (watch this space)



Just sitting it in the housing, will seal with alloy washer once locked in.

The stock BMW cooler was pissing me off so I replaced it with a big ass Earls oil cooler / lines (under number plate)...which extends up to the top of the bumper with the blue lines through the grill. Its all isolated and rubber mounted as not to twist the cooler frame
You can kinda see the brake cooling ducts.
All set for summer of time attack :)

Road interior nearly complete.

Nappa







Have some other goodies but its pissing down outside and I cant really photo it in the garage .. Maybe tomorrow night.

Was the track a bit wet ? I could see the M5 ass end come out a bit after a few of those turns.

nah dry as a bone, just going fast around the corners.
