Lets go sideways!

After a break from one trackday I was not going to miss the next. My good friend Mick just collected his new E92 M3 which you can see from a previous post and he was keen to give it a good thrashing. So 3 days after the break in service was done to the V8 monster we headed out for the 11th July VIP trackday.

Stoptech Big Brake Kit installed

As mentioned in a previous post I had put an order in for a Stoptech Big Brake Kit. Unlike what people might think, I am not expecting much more stopping power from the brakes. The combination of Performance Friction 01 pads and Motul RBF600 fluid on stock brakes were fade free and gave a great bite, quite impressive I think. What the brakes will do is keep the brakes a lot cooler due to the larger rotor and pad, rotors are 14″. In return I won’t be going through pads and rotors like there’s no tomorrow, they also do look very good. So I placed an order with CA Automotive and 3 weeks later these bad boys arrived.

Intrax Coilover’s first outing at Mondello VIP trackday

Previously I had intended to skip this trackday, stupidly I calculated what my spend on the car was since I got it 4 months ago, shocking. I finally came to my senses and came to the conclusion that I had spent all this money for the sole reason for trackdays and so skipping one would mean spending the money for nothing. That is my rational anyway.
