Exige S2 with added supercharger

Great day and Andy’s car is a great example - he’s far too harsh on it when he talks about it online :laughing:

I’m still getting my gopro stuff together but will write something up soonish. We were hoping to get some laps running astern of each other so that we could get gopro footage of each car but the track was pretty crowded and it wasn’t easy to share a piece of tarmac! The only time we pulled it off, Andy had his tank slapper above 2 corners later so that was that :mrgreen:

Weather was fantastic ! Cannot complain

These images were taken from the Javelin paid photographer …

Some great pics there, fellas

Not often you get to follow your own car. Someone filmed me!







Blyton Park - Subaru BRZ Track Battles (11/07/20) - YouTube

Immo now fixed.

The 2A fuse in place 11 ( bottom left on inspection panel fuse box ) was blown. Not quite sure why.

However , swapped for another 2A fuse and voila. No flashing immo.

Squeaking belt, rear discs and pads + fluid change to go.

Some of those pics you have a front number plate, on others you dont :question:

Correct.

I take them off when I start , then I went to get fuel and did a session with them on as I forgot to take them off.

Post track day wash.

Noted I was working the brakes hard as I have white bits on the callipers where I assume hot brake pad material met the paint…

Great news on the fuse andybond. Electrical gremlins can be so annoying, so hopefully it’s a one off.

I took my car upto Jonny at https://www.performance-autocare.co.uk/ on Saturday. Its fantastic he is open Saturdays as I am often losing money taking the car to a garage as I am a contractor and it also meant I got to spend some time with Wife Bond!

Rear discs , pads and fluid was changed out ( Motul RBF 660 ) but not the supercharger belt. Reason being is Jonny spotted the bottom pulley bolt was almost out! Its no wonder the belt was squeaking, the pulley was walking side to side! This has been corrected now.

I drove the car back home and it feels super smooth now, but I have managed to pick up some scoring on both front pads which is a bit frustrating.

Very happy with the car!

I have had a new driveway laid this week and a metric shitload of dust made it into the garage.

Few pics ;

Out if the front window

Dusty as .

Post clean

Driveway looks quality!

I am very happy with the result!

Something isnt quite right on my nearside front pad. After a short while I get a clack , clack , clack sound. I can only assume its the pad touching the disk and the vanes. If I press the brake ever so slightly it goes, then returns 30 seconds later.
Braking feels fine, nothing is pulling to the left or right.

Ill whip off* the front wheel tomorrow and disassemble the caliper / pad and look for any abnormalities.

  • no whipping at the car is low and I have to drive up onto some wooden blocks to be able to get my low jack under …

Fairly common I think, not sure if the caliper tolerances are slightly off for the quoted pad size or what but I’ve had pads from various manufacturers clack around like that across both my Lotus’. It seems like the disc rotation is able to lift the pads up slightly, then they drop down, rise up, repeat. If you can replicate it easily by slowly going back and forth on your drive then that’s probably it.

You can get anti-rattle buffer pads to put on the slider plates within the calipers (think EP does them at least) but I find they don’t stand up to heat and hard use very well. Generally I find the pads eventually seat themselves home with enough clugged up brake dust etc :mrgreen:

I am with you on the rise and fall. I need to whip off the wheel just to validate. Weird how it only happens on one wheel and after a trackday.

Yeah I struggle to put a pattern to it, it’s definitely worse after I give the calipers a good clean and fit fresh pads then they seem to settle in a bit. I assume dust and road grot just pads them out a bit!

Also try gently bending the clip spring thing so that it exerts more force onto the pads, maybe that relaxes a bit when it gets hot?

Yeah, I have a habit of just bending stuff that little bit too far and it goes snap v :eh: :lolno:

I’ve got spares, go nuts :wink:
