345 BHP is certainly a meaty shove in the backside, I didn't realise you were running so much power till I looked at you flying by those others on the track.

 

put the harrop on over last winter 

was running more power but i dont want need it yet

Car is looking nice and settled in the video. The brake fade and wear is an interesting one. Is part of the issue in driving technique? Tuition could make a bigger difference than brake cooling. It'll be good to see your car at Snetterton. The speed down the back straight should be interesting!

Temps were through the roof at zaandvoort today They were in the late 80s after 2 laps maybe a few extra after the dinner break I also met Peter and his other half today Estimated the car loses around 50-60 hp at these temps It was very very hot today and I physically felt the lack of power But it was still a cracking day

[Acidpopstar]

When you fitting the water injection?

Well zaandvoort was epic Didn't go 100% smooth 2 mins before leaving the charge cooler pump relay packed in which put us back a hour Day of coming home water got in the the spark plug hole in the head and got a massive misfire Easy fixes but wished they haven't happened. The inlet temps on track were through the roof and the car was considerably slower than previous UK track days ( probably a good job as I was still hitting over 140 mph down the pit straight The front brakes were a lot better and had little wear The rear brakes still had heavy wear so I'm guessing the brake ducting has really helped cool the front brake which in turn has helped keep the brake pads from wearing out quickly The rear wheels were covered in brake dust but the fronts hardly had any on them

[Zoobeef]

Glad that's sorted then! Now how do you sort the rears. Air from the ears ducted through or extra naca ducts underneath ducted through?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

I would like to use 2 small naca ducts as I need all the air I can get through the engine bay

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

I also think the lack of power could of been down to the fuel in Holland

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Me and lee turning into the chuckle brothers I also like the bit when lee tried to slow the car down by putting his hands up 😜

WUT?

 

Our 98ron is not good enough for you?

[The Batman]

the texaco garage which is closest to the track is 102 ron

[sford]

Could you go for a naca duct in the lower area under the ear in the sill, with the tubing going past where the hard brake lines (passenger side, not sure what's on the driver's side) are and then out of the fiber glass inside the wheel arch away from the wheel and toward the brakes?

 

Or have one higher up and coming in through the top of the arch liner? Think you would need the feed forward of the brake disc so the air path is in one direction and not trying to turn back on itself.

 

See crudely drawn photos stolen from google below.

 

 

 

If you could get the duct to match the color of your car then it would be relatively subtle.
