They were unsure of the part no. for the pads on the DT stand so I'll order them next week unless someone knows somewhere cheaper to get 'em? (Ferrodo DS3000 for wilwood forged dynalites)
I bought a little trick bit of weight saving today, been meaning to get one for ages, its bloody small (condom for scale!). Should save about half a kilo :D

new bits sound exciting Oli. What brakes are you replacing? And whats the weight saving on them?
I was running Astra 16v (256mm) brakes before, replacing with wilwood dynalite (4 pot) calipers and 280mm discs. The calipers are about 4kg lighter (each) but the discs will be heavier, so probably a 5kg saving over all :)Quote:

Autosport good?
Yeah like you say unsprung weight makes a huge difference, I'm currently looking for some lightweight wheels (Rota's, Superleggeras etc) cos I reckon I could save approx 3kgs per wheel :eek:
Autosport was ok, wouldn't have wanted to pay to get in. Once you've been for a few years its much of a muchness tbh.
Yeah I went 4 or 5 years ago & havent felt the urge to go since.
Are compomotive lightweight or just bloody hard?
Compomotive are strong rally wheels predominantly, not really lightweight. Even their 'ultralight' CXR wheel isn't actually that light.
that mirror is stupidly small lol
love this thread, does the corsa pedal box make much of a difference as ive been talking to a guy today and we're thinking of doing it ??
very nice mate, hadn't noticed this project before!
its an ultra lightwaight! u'd better tie some bricks to it when you're parked so it don't blow away lol
rotas are the way to go, had some for track build (on mig), but sold them on as they were 16's and decided on the 15's route for cheaper tyre options
