that front end looks mint
at rockingham tomorrow!!! i'll be able to hear you whilst im at work :(. might have to pop in
Why not shave some of the backing plate off the pads on the inboard side to prevent the touching under expansion... or space the caliper out another few mm etc
Well an interesting day with mixed fortunes.
The brake cooling system worked really well
The suspension mods and new shockers set up was good with no nasty suprises
The engine is clearly much more powerful than the 1.4 and when it comes on cam really flies.
The dog box, gripper diff and gear change assembly which seems agricultural and very difficult to use in the paddock comes into it's own at full chat. Using the clutch is optional and no finesse is required lol.
The big disappointment and frustration was the fact after a couple of laps and things got properly warm the engine developed a major loss of power eventually leading to the engine refusing to go over 4000 rpm tho it would idle happily.
We suspect it is sensor problem - maybe the crank sensor but we couldn't locate a spare so we spent a frustrating afternoon going out for 2 laps and then having to come in and scratch our heads

This was about the first occasion I actually built it up to over 8000rpm for a sustained period - it does 9000 before the limiter soft cuts in
Sounds awesome :cool:
Shame about the problems, definently sounds crank sensor related.
