Leave the handbrake off all day. See pics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pads went after a couple of laps and there was literally smoke pouring out of the wheels at the end of Wakefield straight and coming into the pits. I have upgraded to some Brembos though and the Liquid Intelligence fluid Neldonian mentioned. I will find out how it goes there next week :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have brembos so weren't too bad but manage to darken the callipers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love your car.For those that don't know he overtakes Evos and STIs on the track! I can imagine their faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left foglight removal a big engine oiler cooler.Little front splitter is available here:www.hointerceptor.com.auMaybe 20kg downforce max, but I like the look of it.Scrapes on my driveway though when the car is lowered at the front. Nightmare in carparks too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR drive like a nana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
