IME Project MU 2 piece rotors and club spec pads, excellent.

Hawks are shit for daily driving let alone track work.

how's are the RESMA pads wearing with the Dixcel?

What grade dixcel rotors you using?

interesting the brakes are so poor in performance! what would be recommended then?

Replace discs n pads, pads at the least.

by **kiahatsiu** » Sat May 02, 2015 8:28 pm

That is the plan. I am happy with the pads now, well, at least they are a known quantity. I will put some dba t3/series 5000s on the front and some t2/4000s on the rear next time I am home.
I am going to retire it from daily duties shortly, it will be replaced by something pimp spec for dailying soon. So I will most likely leave the power levels alone, but I will change suspension arms and do a few cosmetic repairs in the coming months.
I plan on building a new super stupid motor for it too. All the ancillaries are pretty much right, so I will need to get something closed decked, sleeved and I beamed in there soon.

Funny you should mention this!
I'm starting to think about retiring mine from daily duties at some point too.
Then I can go bonkers on weight reduction and also drop in the manual box with no roadworthy issues.
Keen to see where you go from here Ian.

Well, in the interest of progress, this now has a new dump and a screamer on it. Hoping to see a touch more power out of it seeing as less exhaust flow has to go through that pesky exhaust system.

Along with scaring the living shit out of old ladies when the screamer opens up right?

This thing has picked up 400rpm in spool. It is also making about 30kw more at 3500-4000rpm. However the fuel pump has packed it in. It will get replaced with another walbro and see how that goes. If that still doesn't work it will be time to ramp shit up.

Haha nice Ian, got a graph?

by **kiahatsiu** » Mon Jun 08, 2015 10:23 pm

I don't unfortunately. I try to super casual about my dyno graphs and never print them. It makes me feel like I am not a slave to my car...even thought I clearly am. I will take a picture of the two graph over lays next time I am at Tony's. It will really show the difference.

by **kiahatsiu** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 1:08 pm

Had a little surgery today. It was assumed that the filter was blocked and or the pump had died. Pulled it all apart to find the strainer was blocked. New strainer and off we go again.
Now: if it wasn't for Tony and his dyno this would have been a disaster. He picked up on it straight away, and was able to trouble shoot it with the boost and timing dialled out at various load point, and also check the fuel pressure. This is why I am willing to pay more for a dyno tune, and this is why a dyno tune costs more.

Tony is an absolute machine

Lucky pickup

by **kiahatsiu** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 2:24 pm

I was thinking of you when Al pulled the blocked strainer out Mick. It might be worth pulling yours out and checking on it.
I foresee a big fuel system in my car in the near future. I want to avoid paying 1400 bucks for a billet pump/serge tank for twin pumps without pumps in it though.
