My front plate went missing last week, think the tape I used after cleaning of the plastidip was not up to the job. Also finally took the time to add some stickers to my car :grin:

Because racecars must have stickers

Sean from Axis sent me a little surprise that I will hopefully install this weekend

Installed my gifted Axis brake caliber guide bushes today. Pretty simple and easy to do. Replaced the old pads on the front as well. This is how much is left after about 4000 km normal driving and 400km track. They where just above the sensor. :roflol:

Also noticed for the first time these little balls, looks like some of the pad material melted and seeped out of the pads, and the bottom edge of the pad was visually "burnt". The "brake smell" was also much " stronger", I presume from all the extra dust.

The pads did wear down at a bit of an angle but not as bad as I have seen before might be due to the harder braking they had to do. I have kept the old pads will run two more track days and then I compare the non guide bushes pads to the guide bushes pads.

Swopped the wheels around so that a new left front can be worn down, and a general fluid check. Gopro is ready to get some Zwartkops again tomorrow, can't wait.

Drive it safely.
Go say hullo to the driver of the black Z4..it will be on semi slicks and will likely be driven as though it has been stolen.

Hard luck DB... :sorry:

Was just after my run with a Seat Leon Cupra(video on it's way), we where pushing very hard. Went out for one more run and when I came back I saw the puddle where the where the car was parked, so I rather called it.

Kinda sucks but we did quick session as there was not a lot of cars A&B drove together. Think I did 5/6 sessions which was enough.

The driver of the Leon told me it makes 204wkw, my car is around 100wkw

Thanks Firi, was short but good. My passenger was keeping time with his cellphone stop watch, he recorded me in the 1:23-22 time range again. Need to go for a run without a passenger and see if I can get into the high 21's. :hammerhead:

I am not complaining, could have been much worse than a leaking cap :rollsmile:

I heard that the Leon started overheating towards the end of the day?
