I haven't. Merely spectating this time
The driver said "my braking efficiency was a tad low so I pushed the pedal a bit harder"... good ol boy
Almost boiled his brake fluid. Was at 130-140 degrees iirc

Mighty impressive to cook rear brakes? Not that i've ever had disk rears, but i'd of thought fronts would go first?

Without sounding big headed on our higher spec cars... you use a 50/50 brake ratio (at least I do) or bias rear to aid slides on tarmac and you have the hydro handbrake. The rears end up soaking up more punishment
Not to mention the fact they're physically smaller and have less of heat tolerance
Anyway backing away from logic. Yea it is still impressive to cook the rears. But common
the fronts have cooling ducts. I'm sure you've seen em glow red hot then drop off before?Without sounding big headed on our higher spec cars... you use a 50/50 brake ratio (at least I do) or bias rear to aid slides on tarmac and you have the hydro handbrake.

Ahhh, makes sense I guess
Yeah, have seen disks glowing red hot then cool instantly.
Unrelated question, If I were to be doing a night rally would my normal headlamps and two 55W spots be good enough for regs? Can't find it in the blue book...

You dont see cooling ducts on normal cars as theynever get enough heat in the brakes... and if they do they dont want it cooling straight off... maximum attack rally cars however
In your case yes you're allowed 4 forward facing lights. 2 headlights 2 spotlights will be fine
Will be the same under the same rules as f1000

Ok not cooling instantly as that can damage disks...
Cheers, will get some wired in over the next few weeks
Need some for the rockingham stages

Nahhh... red ones are cheaper
Took one of the alloys off today, started filing the centre out so it will fit properly on the drum - more to do yet, ran out of time. Very surprised though how loose the nuts had become, no wonder she was ratting on the back end, sounded like a bag of nails. Memo to self - must get on with it.
Cheers bud, I'm doing that. Can't believe how loose they get after a couple of milesI dont condone what you're doing
Yup R, I'm gonna have to do that, two hours of filing and I've nearly done one of them, it nearly, nearly fits now. A flap wheel is quicker yeah ???? Seem 'em, never used one, do they do different grades ????micrade told yoy put a flap wheel and stick in you drill.it more accurate than a file
That's exact what mine was doing when the head gasket went! There is no mayo because it's going between the water jacket and the cylinder and not the oil galleries...
Suzie the Super S
Took me about 4 hours to take mine from 56.1mm to getting them on, that's all 4 wheels. Flapwheels come in different sizes and grades, think mine was a 60mm 60 grit from machine mart iirc Davy

I spent £5 per wheel at the local engineers and had them sorted in 10minutes.
wheels came, thanks ade! bang them on tomorrow!
Woke up to find dad put my wheels on for me haha! Then tried to get the bump strips off, note to self: never try that again. Biggest pain ever haha, got most of the adhesive off with the help of this spray from devizes panels, some methods we tried before that didnt work and took some paint off with it which is annoying under the passenger side is a blue colour aswell but i think its from the plastics where they age and go blue. got some back to black while i was there too, ill give her a wash and polish tomorrow and have a photo whoring session! Dads keen to let me lower it aswell, think he loves it as much as me! View attachment 25758

Repainted grills as they were a bit stone chipped
Side Note, is it common for K11 1st facelift like mine for the drivers side headlight to become condensated?
On my 2nd facelift they both get quite 'condensy' (??) in the wet, no problems with them though
