Sometime cars just go through an "everything is broken" period. Fix em up and you should be gold. I just looked at some video of my car that the missus took today. It's quite quick compared to most of the rest of the cars that were there today...well in a straight line at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I logged the second session and it did what it should have. I'll put the log on dropbox if you're interested. I'll also cut a clip out of the missus video (eventually) so yas can see how it went down the front straight. I think I was getting it up to 160 or 170 before the first turn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 9y 8m 26d Posted 07/10/17 09:13 AM Share Posted 07/10/17 09:13 AM Yep. Brakes. Had a similar problem on the S.A cruise. Always said to my mate I was keen to take Old Black Betty to the track. All he said was realistically the OEM brakes are gonna boil and fade in a matter of laps. I was all like pffffft. Till the cruise when the lads could hear my tyres protesting and that smell brake of pads. Box stock T convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were still people having to cool them down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Puff Gold Donating Members 16,015 Member For: 9y 11m 4d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 07/10/17 09:49 AM Share Posted 07/10/17 09:49 AM (edited) Mine are fingered now as in partially sticking on, 4 pumps to get a pedal, creaking like an old rusty man brakes. I'll have a look at the damage tomorrow and fix them up during the week. Edit: I just checked them and they pumped up on the second pump. Must have just been hot before.
