And this one had an off course at the end because the blue Datsun I passed early on was pushing me.

 

Well, I got it fixed in time for the trackday.

Everything went well at the track. I didn't wreck the car or have anything break so I guess I won.

I did get a chance to plow a field once by not braking enough and not turning in soon enough for turn 16. Evidence:

 

Old 1.8 front brakes:




New front brakes:



This is the upgrade from 10 inch front rotors to 11 inch front rotors from the 1990 VW Corrado. This is made possible by the M-Tuned Big Brake Kit which relocates the stock front calipers, so you don't need to even take a brake line loose to upgrade. The brake feel has improved just during my brief brake bedding run. More reviews to follow after I've had a chance to push it.

 

Let me know how well they hold up six. I have a pair of brackets I got for cheap and haven't used them yet.

 

 

Homestead-Miami Speedway, May 12, open track with open passing all day. It was hot. 82 degrees at 8am, and I don't know how high it went during the day.

 

 

Some videos from Sebring last weekend:

 

I think the order of pictures was wrong. It went like this, right?

 

Yes, they were in reverse order. You can see in the video above that the poor Viper owner didn't have a chance.

Actually, after a complete lap he had only pulled a few car lengths on me overall, which is a bit of a surprise considering there are four pretty good straight line 100mph+ acceleration areas on the track.


New video from Sebring two weekends ago. I ended up cutting a right front tire during this outing.
And I figured out that the settings in my video editing software were wrong, and that is why my videos seemed too far away. This latest video should be much better:
