TRACK DAY NUMBER 2!! OCT 2014 ! So palm beach international . They were short on instructors so I had one for the very first session. and the Dude said you're good have fun .
the water / intake temps were good .. BUUUT My brake pedal was still going to the floor after abusing it. thankfully I had learned hwo to be gentle with it . Lift off early brake at the last moment not the fastest way around But atleast that way the brakes lasted almost till the end of each session . Here are some fun inserts from the Event . Very Fast GTR.. Left me in the dust in the back straight |
having Fun with a Gallardo
I was in the intermediate group and considering how easy I made it there I'm sure alot of these people Myself included could of benefited from some good coaches .. BUTTT no harm no faul had fun .... or so I thought . |
with the rx7 FUN always comes at a pricee.... Heafty price ....
cracked rear rotors https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...992c8efc3e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...786010aeaa.jpg And a blown Turbo ... AND ontop of that I still had to figure out why I was boiling my brake fluid if it was brand new and ATF super blue . |
Replaced my Turbos ... THIS IS NOT A FUN JOB TWIN TURBOS ... took me 2 weekends after I put the new turbos on the Oil lines didnt want to align and OH BOY was this NOT a FUN job.. Infact I almost just about quit and ordered a single turbo setup..
Twin turbos are not for the feint of heart ... BUT I eventually managed to install the new used set . And well they worked Some new rear rotors .. AND at the PBIR event I learned that My brake fluid cap was a bit broken.. I tested it out and it was indeed letting condensation in so i said MAYYBEEE ????? Got a new Cap , RBF 600 Brake fluid and re did the whole system . |

i vowed to not deal with the stock twins anymore after i saw that a rebuilt set from BNR was $1000 and i had a friend install two sets of used ones that both(sets) blew oil...
|
yeah the set that blew was actually an RZ/Spirit R set =( I have a set of the upgraded / series 7 twins now , and i'm keeping them in low boost . I need much more driver mod than power mod anyways .
But I am planning on upgrading to a nice small single I dont care if it doesnt make more power as long as it runs cooler , and isnt such a huge pain hahah ! But I do have to say its hard to beat .. I love the Car with the working twins . =( |
Nice build. As far as brake fluid, try something simple like Ti brake shims.

Drilled rotors are prone to cracking. You're better off with slotted or blanks. That stuff is largely aesthetic in stockish applications. Backing plates are fine and well. Ducting would be better if you can make it work.
