Santa pod
Cheers guys, I'm finding ways to enjoy my car legally and this is on my list of things to try.

Santa pod
I can see how that could be an issue. It's about 2.5 hours away for me so an expensive joinery for a big traffic jam and not even a miles worth of track action lol.

I personally haven't run a quarter mile before, I've looked at those various events and Rwyb Sundays, which are obviously the easiest way to get a go at it. However, I'm guessing from previous pics etc it's damn busy, getting 3/4 runs a day, that sounds boring. One fat long traffic jam. So what's the deal? Is it always that bad? Is there a quiet time or a way we could get a few of us together on a weekday for a zed only session? Also it says that if your expecting to run +110 mph passes you need a helmet? I'm assuming that it would be wise as that is potentially possible?

boosting at 6psi
You could apply air pressure to the wastegates to see if they open. However I think that's a going to be hard to see the drivers side, and b unlikely the cause. Have you done a boost leak test?

I'm saving up for a 320d estate for her indoors ATM. Stereotypes are just fun. She drives a kia ATM but we call her carpark Colin, she drives at the speed limit safely on the road but as soon as she's in a carpark I think the redline is used more than brake!

Yellow fog lights work best hence why they are often actually yellow. Think le man cars.

Exactly that Richard. The stock brakes are than capable of locking up the fronts at 60mph mine sets the and off quite regularly when I'm playing. For a road car, the stock brakes well set up and maintained exceed the tyres ability to stop you any faster. There's simply not enough grip to make you slow down faster. Where big brakes come into effect is when the car goes beyond normal road conditions, 150mph braking repeatedly or simply repeated heavy braking full stop to that end. The heat cannot be processed off and as many find out a few laps often sees you with no brakes. For me the plan is for my car to become something a little beyond a mobile disco or show queen. It's a car that is and will be driven in anger and put some fun under its belt, a roads, strip and circuit. It will never be a race car but it will need the minerals put up with the stress.

A lot of the yanky guys use the stock 255/16" rims for drag racing.

About 400 for used 350 brembo calipers. Direct bolt on fit but defiantly more expensive, about 7-800 all in....
