[BioHzrd]

Rear pads are are done pretty much finished flushing the system with RBF600 using the last of the bottle n do the rears once more n im set for Monday !

 

[N0ddie]

I'm still pondering at to weather or not to stick some new 888s on to replace my well used set that I have currently got on the track wheels. Would be better in the rain with new tyres (More thread depth) but not as good in the dry. Hmmmm......... decisions decisions?

 

[rpsxr]

Im away on a wee road test see how the brakes are with RBF600 & new rear pads on then ill have to adjust the length of my Harnesses i think !

 

[Craig.H]

Harnesses, bloody things, I took mine out as I had my seats out and just refitted them on the wrong sides, lots of adjustments needed now as my girlfriend who is usually in the passenger seat has them very short, pain in the ass! Lol! It's amazing the length of time it takes to adjust until they are comfy!

 

[N0ddie]

I really want harnesses but they are so expensive.

What ones you got gents?

Yeah i know what you mean i want mine just long enough that they need a quick pull n there tight right now im there for 5 mins getting them tight lol ! Also need to remove passanger seat as managed to fit the buckle on the wrong side of the seat so its upside down !

Ive got a pair of 4 point Schroth Clubman 2's

 

[Craig.H]

I have 3 point sparco harnesses, nothing special but they do the job!

 

[Stu.]

I have toyo proxies for track tyres...oh dear lol. think ill stick my buckets in later on. Do you guys torque your wheel bolts up? if so what to? And where do we keep our spare tyres/stuff from the car when were out on track?

I torque mine up yes. 200 will have different torque values from the 172/182 though.

There is a garage in the pitlane where you can keep tools/spares but it aint secure/locked. I didnt have any problems leaving 4 wheels, tyres and tools in the garage last year at the Silverstone RS trackday.

ill try find out. The adaptors for my porsche wheels were to be done to 100nm i think, so dunno if itd be around that. And thats alright, wont be too much sitting there. just 4 wheels a jack and a small toolkit really. Should be a good day

 

[N0ddie]

Ahhhh!!! Someone stole my wheels:



Lol. Just kiddin. Turns out the old 888s were down to their wear markers. Could have got another trackday outta them but not a wet one.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Torque them upto 100nm, book recommends 90nm for standard road driving, I have mine at 100nm.

 

[BioHzrd]

Mine are set to 130...

 

[N0ddie]

Mine are set to 130...

200 is the same.

 

[Craig.H]

I do them to 105, just to be sure!

Keep checking them though as a few people I know have had them come loose, including myself!

Any news on PFC coming along?

 

[Stu.]

Aye ill do them to 105, and keep checking them through out the day, my passenger front came a little loose the other week...lol. Cars nearly ready for it though so all good

Axel stands!!!


I plan on spectating, will I be able to sit in my car and do this or do I have to stand in the rain?

 

[Martin_172]

you can sit in your car, usually the carpark at the end of the back straight is open for spectating its a pretty good spot either that or the one at the start of the main straight, in that one your close to the pits etc that you can walk about in and chat to ppl etc!

 

[Stu_182]

I know you can do that at bigger events but do you think it will be ok at the RS day?

 

[N0ddie]

Most definitely I'd say.
