15.07 is a good time, don't think I saw you run as was too busy sheltering from the sun!
New brakes feel a little less bite than the ATEs on the road in all honesty, but Skud has kindly skimmed up my spare discs so going to try a pad change when I get round to refurbing them and refreshing the rear brakes.
The trim refresh a looks well!
Not updated this in a while, but not done a huge amount. Not sorted the brakes out since the last trackday yet, but I have added some cooling mods to hopefully help it cope with the hot weather trackdays during the summer.
First off a Bailey alloy header tank to replace the slightly battered plastic one that was currently on it. Had an extra outlet welded on for the XE inlet pipe (by Alloy Racing Fabrications just outside of Mansfield) to remove the t-piece:

While I was there I had the spare oil catch tank outlet welded over:

Polished them both up with Autosol:

And fitted:

No more unslightly t-piece in the engine bay, just an extra pipe on the header tank:

Next up, a nice big 16 row oil cooler to replace the current 10 row one:

Sits behind the bumper a little, but might add a flick to scoop air behind the numberplate holes:

Next up I needed a water temperature gauge, a decent one, but ran out of space where I'd mounted the original Stack gauges. Gave a spare dash top and stepped gauge fascia to Flocking Fantastic (Prey) who worked this magic on it:

Since I've used the original coolant sensor location for the Stack gauge, I blanked off the dials original temperature gauge:

And relocated my window switches to elsewhere on the dash, as they were previously in the old clock location:

Ooh shiney bits.
Love the dash upgrade too.
Hows the foot?
Love it mate, well done.
Liking the gauges !
Nice work on the gauge holder!
Looks good, gauges look smart!
