So AP's here we come

To be honest T with the ammount of tracking you do and bearing in mind it's a daily runner, I'd save your money, put some decent fluid in and put some EBCs on your Brembos, I never had any fade all day :muhaha:

Edited to add: tbh the guy who provides your strap drives would say that he recommends six pots

It was good to meet the Lancer-Evo.Net crew on Friday. I had no idea there would be so many Evo's there when I initially booked my place at the track. Can I point out how well behaved you all were on track, which was opposing poles to that muppet in the Caterham....

This incident has on reflection, made me very cross :anger2: I was fairly chilled about it at the time, but sitting back (as you do) with a cold one and reflecting on the potential consequences with the rest of the guys I was with on the day about what could have happened is quite worrying. Quite simply, the manoevre the joker in the yellow Caterham tried to pull off was outright brainless. If I hadn’t spotted him undertaking me at the last minute, we all could have all been barrel rolling down the start finish straight towards the sea. Not good. I had always thought if I went off on a track day it would be my fault but having seen such a blatant disregard for others it leaves me with an unsavoury taste in the mouth. I’m not sure I’m going to do anything about it now but for sure if I see that chap again on a track day I will be having a (constructive) word with him.

On a lighter note, HOW ON EARTH did the Silver RSE VIII end up in THAT position in the tyre wall ? We were trying to work it out: Brake failure you would have gone straight on, if you'd lost it on the exit under acceleration then surely you would have clouted the barriers further up? Can the driver explain please!

to Evo.net mate! :muhaha:

I had a similar situation with the C**terhams.. Funny, the car in question was yellow also :mmmm:

Entering the pits and one car was already overtaking on the far right and this twat came flying inbetween us.. Twat

It was my first track day and I thoroughly enjoyed it

We are hoping to get 20-25 cars together for an Evo.net trackday at Anglesey? Can we count you in? :muhaha:

Me neither Steve.. But remember that the VII GSR weighs well over 1400kg! :shock:

Well once we have checked it out proprly we will know what is wrong, My guess is that the brake fluid gave up, the brakes feel terrible still.

We are going to give it an overhaul and a jolly through service and see how things are then.

We already have the AP strap drive kit and IMO it should be able to cope with these trackdays :???:

If I don't need the 6 pots I won't buy them but they are fantastic so its a maybe should the need arise, either that or some very nice similar ones from the states :muhaha:
