tommo224 Member 40 Member For: 9y 6m 20d Posted 22/07/15 02:00 AM Author Share Posted 22/07/15 02:00 AM (edited) I had slotted RDA's and good pads on the BMW and did two track days on them with no issues. They didn't warp, crack, or anything? No squealing, fading, or warping while daily driving with them afterwards either. I guess Falcons are a bigger and heavier car, so I'll see how these go in December then haha. Edited 22/07/15 02:02 AM by tommo224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it all in one hit and you'll save a lot of money on dyno tunes. I have a retarded mate that had his car tuned 3 times within 6 months.

Keeps us posted after you track day and remember we like pics. This is me at wakefeild stock as only brakes done I don't know what the front pads are on the car currently, but they're due for a change. The rotors are definitely in need of a change! I'll see how we go after track day haha.. Most likely would need to be swapped out based on what you guys are saying! But that's a bridge I'll cross when I come to it, since I already have these other rotors to fit. Here is my car at Wakefield, fourth private track day I've attended with good mates of mine (first with this car). Stock other than the Whiteline sway bars, crappy tyres, and crappy brakes. I had the car for just over a week before hitting the track! Didn't have a chance to fix up anything on it haha. First shot is at the cabins, other two are from when a mate was taking it for a spin. I didn't go out to the on-track photo shelters this time (I did last time! Fun shooting from there), but someone else did! Happy I got some moving shots of my car for once, normally it's me getting it for everybody else haha. looks mean with the dark agents EDIT: you're on the right track mate, think about your desired power figure, than look into mods and start saving.

I'm thinking 300kw atw max would be enough to keep me happy and (relatively) out of trouble. But having it all in one go could be a risky thing haha.. All in time! My BMW was pretty quick and responsive, kept me out of trouble too. Pretty sure it was between 220-250kw atw when I owned it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommo224 Member 40 Member For: 9y 6m 20d Posted 23/07/15 02:14 AM Author Share Posted 23/07/15 02:14 AM BMW felt quicker off the mark and more responsive with the throttle. Probably the advantage of a quick revving 6cyl and two small turbos. It didn't have any lag. But this feels like it's itching to unleash it's full power! Sleepy, if you will. I just need to unlock that haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
