jeromie0 Member 49 Member For: 18y 5m 18d Posted 30/10/06 11:15 AM Author Share Posted 30/10/06 11:15 AM I would love to have a go at this but I think I would need to get upgraded brakes before I would take my car to the track.←Well I can say that if you upgrade the brake pads to ebc reds and the brake fluid to something better, then the car will run for 5+ laps on the stock brakes no worries! I did that pulling up from about 170Km/h on the main straight to about 120km for the first corner, and the car held up fine. ebc red pads are the way to go!

He came out to Warwick last year to watch me race in the Gemini Series & loved every minute of it!If anyone is after used slicks/race tyres I suggest you log into the IPRA forum & put up a post, a used set of Yokohama A032 tyres are as good if not better than new A032 tyres & you may get them for next to nothing!If anyone's interested I've put up a complete Gemini race from last year on youtube, this is the cheapest form of circuit racing & one of the most competitive in Australia. Also GEAR you can get that time down a fair bit by following someone around who knows how to arce around there, a Gemini with 100HP will do 1.06 around the sprint circuit, a top notch WRX/EVO 8 will do 58 Seconds on race rubber!I'll be there next time with 1 or 2 race cars for the sprints & topgear event the next day!CheersRuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
