Took it out again last monday.

I drove back from Oulton park after the btcc, pretty much had three hours sleep then got up to load the car. Got in the car to put the first lap in and at the pit lane exit the fuel pressure sensor **** its self and started to read - 0.75 bar with the motor running, put one lap in as the fuel ratio and egt's said other wise.

Tried to find the fault, turned out the pretty much brand new sensor from RT had died....... To say i was alittle ****ed off with it was understatement, its imposible to drive fast and watch a lap top and not having the dash warnings switched off is not a great idea. So i done what every chef would have done and packed up and headed to the pub.

we have hi spec front and rear , never had a problem with them . i was told at the time the chap that owns hispec is an ex brembo engineer that went his own way ,but cheeper . after every event we remove the pads and de glaze them on coarse sand paper on flat service . when you tested your brakes could you lock the wheels or was peddle to hard from start. i had this problem until we swopped front cylinder size which then gave softer peddle which ment i could if req lock the wheels , this meant i knew were the liimit was but with hard peddle it felt i could never push hard enough.

The rest of the car is at that level now is it not?

exactly

Or swap over to a more motorsport focused set up which to me seems the best option not the cheapest though.

still not gone Hi Spec/AP as you previously mentioned.....

looks awesome though chap...

wheres the "brown chair"??!!.... too much weight

Lap top mount tray in there, I dont think i would ever use HI SPEC but i will go for either AP or Alcon

[terrybullwon]

Can you not scuff the pads up a bit, are they glazed?
What did it end up weighing mate, did you get close to the magic 1000Kg ?

I dont think its as easy as that, Its just over 1100kg with me in it

I love the way your car looks and sits and those wheels too!

Tested the brake pressure front and rear.

Pressure is excellent, so leaves me to conclude the pads have gone off.

So i either bite the bullet and go new discs and pads then bed them together and see how i get on.
