Hi Harry
I bled the brakes a couple of nights before the meet as I always do. The pedal was firm at that stage but after 2 laps it was significantly softer and has since stayed that way. Any ideas?

I still have a fair bit of the Motul left but I might try the Penrite next time. What times were doing round QR in the GTR?

It would be a real contest if the three of you could compete together, but if Chris' coupe looks like it's not doing so good it might spur the 'secret weapon' along.

I told you when you deserted the small Datsun camp by selling your 1200 coupe that you'd be back.

Matty, sounds like the fluid has gone off, or RBF isn't all its cracked up to be. try a total flush of the system. these 600deg fluids don't last very long before they've absorbed moisture and need flushing.

GTR did 61.5 on the sprint track on cheapo Federal road tyres. Since then I've added adjustable upper arms on the front for more camber, some offset bushes in the rear upper arms for less camber and done a proper wheel alignment so it should be a touch quicker now.

Thanks Harry
I bleed the brakes before each sprint but I haven't completely flushed the system for ages so I will give that a go when I fit the new master cylinder.

That's a pretty solid time on road rubber. It will be interesting to see what difference the suspension tweaks make. When do you think you will head out again?

Cheers Matty

I just got back from Collingrove Hillclimb tonight with a PB under my belt!! I did a 40.88 which is an average time for the class i was in (road reg over 3000cc). The track was slippery and on old road tyres, i was busy behind the wheel to say the least.


Cheers. Adam
