New pads and a diet.

[wilky]

Took the Millenium falcon out for a shakedown on my private road this evening after fitting new front pads. In the end I bought a grinder as I will use it again and the door bars are looking surplus to requirement.

I have managed to take 40kg off the already lightweight vehicle. I never thought it would make a noticeable difference, but it does.

I also tried flat shifting and it is harder than you would think!! Its hard to get out the habit of lifting as you change and I missed 5th at one point.

However when you get it right it makes a hell of a difference.

New tyres are on the shopping list well. I may go for R888 as my road set.

See yous tomorrow at KH if you are going.

I also tried flat shifting ....

Does this mean changing gear without taking your foot off the accelerator?

[corsa]

I think Wilky meant to say he was short shifting[]

 

Only kidding,have a good safe track day.

 

And enjoy.

[wilky]

FFS, okay the door bars are coming out tomorrow night and the gubbins inside the dash. Im also eyeing up the windows. Dont make me go perspex John......

Only if you tell me where I can get GF doors.............

 

Callum, the lightweight.

[st3ph3n]

CF bonnet and boot is surely a good idea for weight saving. Costly maybe.

[wilky]

CF bonnet is much heavier than an early RAs aluminium one. And a carbon boot is the same weight as a normal boot so may as well cut the gutsout of a standard one.
