Thanks Kevin.... great to see u in SA - pity about the rain (the first rain we have had in about 3 months)....the car was really flying I must say.... and Dawie did a great job!!!! - u are right about the brakes..... it now feels like I am trying to slow down an express train....

eventually did a 1:15.8, but I am DEFINITELY not extracting everything out of the car by any stretch of the imagination... never thought I would ever say this, BUT I need, yes me, need to get more seat time, as the car at present is faster than me

I was actually using 5th gear down the back straight yesterday..anyway will post some short video clips soon

[Joemart]

ok... lets see if this works..

Looking good , nice to see the spigot on spacer . . Which pads you using ? Looks like the box is EBC blue . Its least now you have the stopping power for that motor of yours . Just remember when they balance the wheels to put the weights near outside as they could catch on caliper .

Those front brakes look absolutely awesome, sure look like they work like a bomb.

[Joemart]

So, just for interest, measured the front and rear track.... the values are as follows:

Front = 1688mm ----- original 2.5V6 = 1373mm
Rear = 1662mm ------original 2.5V6 = 1352mm

I has a "Small" problem with the front touching on the rear of the wheel arch when on full lock, but managed to resolve it with a little "man handling"

[Joemart]

the above is measured at the outside extremities of the tyre contact with floor.......which is probably NOT the way it normally gets measured?

[Joemart]

ok... re-measured to centre of tyre....

Front = 1489mm
Rear = 1463mm

They say it better to be wider in front than back on the gtv6 but in your case with hat super powerfull gta motor I might want the back wider
I also had to knock the body work back in the rear of the front arch . I ended up putting some heat on it in order to hit the seam flat but you gotta watch you set the car on fire inside . You will loose the splash guard but that's not a problem for a race car in a rust free environment .
