New front brakes on - Carbotech XP10s... same as last time.








Wired in a cig lighter for Johns PerformanceBox that we'll use at the weekend. Finally mounted it a bit further back towards the window on some velcro pads.

its a pull collar one - Life Line.

It bolts on to a regular boss (mono etc) and then the wheel bolts on to it. Other life line option is weld on but seemed a bit more hassle for me

We have another which is an ebay specal - seems ok, but not as slick as the lifeline one. Fraction of the price too

10 bolts!

If you have an aftermarket wheel/boss it just bolts to the boss, and then the removable part to the wheel.

Easy peasy - about 20mins if taking your time with a cup of tea etc

about 3 or 4..... depends on the trackday too. TimeAttack rounds will take a lot out of them as you are pushing harder than on a normal trackday.

Say 3 - 4 sets of pads a year is expected.

Update time:

Round 2 of TimeAttack went well. Fee won Club Class 4WD and set the fastest time of all Club Classes.

Engine behaved impecabily, running full boost for the last two sessions.

Only down side was the gearbox - its worse, and fee came in after setting her fastest lap complaing about it It wont go into any gear smoothly. I dont think its the power (or rather torque) we are running but just a combination of Fee getting quicker on the shifts and the brutal clutch.

OS Giken tripple plate..... think it shocks the gearbox a fair bit.

Now just have to have a think about swapping a 90kg box on the floor

I can't believe it looked like that before

Is there anyway of making the gearbox changes faster? Or is that mega money

Going in to Wallace Performance to get spare gearbox swapped over tomorrow.

Took it for a run to see what the current box was like.... basically it wont go into 4th without a horrendous crunch. Low revs/high revs, slow easy change/fast slam... the synchro is goosed. Min

Fingers crossed the spare box is better or else its back to the drawing board.

Is that a gearbox in the back of the new range rover? Navara gone?
