Ok guys. Race day was a while ago now but V8's were on and the catergory was supporting. i didnt drive as the grid was full with unknowns and different catergories and I still wanted a straight car for the season...

The Autumn Classic was on and the car was feeling really good. The rain was around and caused some issues but was a great race meet. I think I have literally found the best caliper/rotor/brake pad setup for the budget i have and have even put some brake ducting in to help keep it cool!

Standard 04 STi Brembos front and rear, GiroDisc full floating hat rotors front and rear and Raybestos ST-43 pads. Honestly, these things are rediculous and Im actually going to book barbs out for a few hours to try and find the limit of them. I was worried for a boit as i seemed to brake and then have to brake harder to bite but have found that i'm getting slight brake knockoff and just have to learn to tap brakes before the big corners to get them firm again. All learning!

What i really want to promote is that alot of cars on PWRX would be eligible to race in street cars. The guys with cages ETC, it should be super easy to get it up to spec. Please come out, we even have rules to allow Targa Spec cars... Let me know if you need any more information... Alex and Burke im looking at you in particular!

Some videos from the day...

Highlights... my launches, even the commentators were going off their face about them!

Lowloght... Me getting redmist after catching the bigboys when it was raining and just clipping the kerb when it was wet sending me into a spin towards V8 entry...

Facebook external video showing my best launch!

Those ones are the Prodrive GC-05 series... unfortuantly one got damaged in race meet 1 so only have 3. The other will get repaired but its quite alot! Have some generic 6 spoke rims as my main one for the moment.

Will weigh them with tyres on tonight for you!

Was that when the R33 Skyline tried to mount the back corner of the WRX coming onto the main straight?
