Are you trying to keep it road legal to get to and from tracks or is a trailer the way ahead?

Sorry if my skim reading has missed this already

Its going to be road legal this year, the regs for things on the series we are entering is quyite tight. Next year if we continue, then we will look to get a trailer and evolve the car again.

So what else is there left to do?

Is there any practice events a la F1 style or is literally turn up to the first race event and see how it handles then?

We have a test day at brands next week. The car needs the cage, seats, harnesses and all safety stuff fitted to be race ready. It will get other periodic updates/upgrades through the year. Booked in to do some s2ki trackdays in it aswell.

They were the less aggressive way round before, we were advised to swap them and see if it improves matters. We shall see (once the loom is back in and it is drivable!)
Judder mean you are not braking hard enough to melt the pad surface to get the deposit sit evenly on the disk surface so you are having uneven pad deposit on the disk, common problem with road use driver as they are not braking hard enough to get the pad melt. You have to get it up to 200 degrees+ to get the Type Z pad surface to melt, thats how you bed in race pad. Sitting on aggressive way will make the bed in process easier.

Good luck with the build!

I take mine to my special bedding in area here http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s...14&ie=UTF8&z=15

and drive up and down a few times with some vigorous braking until there is a nice smell of brakes. This ensures you won't get judder.

Get a DTI on there and check runout.

Then check the thickness around the disc with a mic.

You may find they are already toast if they were badly fitted.
