Hi Peeps.
Just thought some of you might like a look at these.
They were taken by my mate Franco at the recent Donington track day, and both show really well what the AP's are capable of.
The first one, titled 'Steffi Stuka' can be found at

 

Stef,

You wanna see it from a following car mate !

DJ

 

You need to enter Le Mans with brakes like those

 

Stef

Last time I saw disks like this on a scoob was McRae on a down hill nite stage few years back in Wales

You'll be after water cooled calipers next ....

K

 

That looks coooool (or hot even).

 

'Ere Stef!

Where d'you buy them there orange discs from then? Do they do any other colours?

Not sure about the jacked up back end, mind!
What ya gonna do next then? Paint flames down the side and get the diff chromed?

Leigh

 

Hmmmm....... Looks like the front anchors are getting a little mad.....(orange glow)

Lovejoy

 

Are you running slicks in these pictures?

 

Kev.
Funny you should mention that....

Leigh.
I take it you were joking?

Paul.
Yes, I was using Yoko slicks.

Stef.

 

Just thought I'd rejuvenate this thread for some of the newbies, as I've had several e-mails regarding my brakes at Oulton.

Stef.

 

Stef,
Excellent. This is the first proper bike stoppie i've seen in a scoob.

 

Its no wonder you spend so much time sideways when the back end gets THAT light!

 

lol @ Stuart

 

Don't you find your rear pads get screwed over braking that hard ? (mine do and I don't even have AP's)

Gary

 

Stef
They cant be that good as they didn`t stop you going into the gravel
Or were they seriously overworked because Larj Marj was in the passenger seat!

 

Biffo nice to see you in our country for a change, wot happened did the land of heapy crap TVR's get boring?? least on here my threads and comments won't be closed or deleted about you!

So Biffo you woman, are you coming to Donington to show us how its really done?? didn't think so as your such a woman! LOL

Oy yeah Biffo have a look at this thread and Pic No3 is me saying hello to you!

 

Gary.
Never had any real probs with the rears.

Bisto.
Surprise, surprise.....
As Harj says, get your canoe onto the track before lecturing others, you letcherous snotgrass that hangs from the proverbial bum-hole of a fibreglass steam train!!!

Stef.

 

what pads then for track use that last?

Martin

 

Someone's being playing with the Abuse-a-tron...

 

Stef,

Re my above post last August!! I should have added a

That better?


Leigh

 

Echo stage1's comment - which pads !

not that it matters as I am having a rear brake upgrade at the mo

 

Biffo,

Always one to hide behind a keyboard. Bring your placky piece of cr4p out and show us it's real - or is it really 1/18th?

 

Martin.
The pads being used in the picci's were actually the infamous Ferodo DS3000's that have been the wrath of P1 owners for the last few months. It has to be said that their performance on track is nothing short of outstanding, though they do wear the disc faster than any other pad I've used. There is always a price to pay for better braking, the PFC carbon metallic's I currently use are prone to cracking the discs.
Apparently, Ferodo have developed a new compound, the DS2500 which AP have asked me to try in the near future and EBC have also developed a new 'Blue Stuff' which slots in above the Yellows and is supposed to last for yonks. I'll be trying these out as soon as they're available as well.
If you're referring to the rear pads, I was using Mintex 1155 and they seem to last quite well.

Beef.
Actually, that's all my own work!

Stef.

 

HOT ROD STEF

LEIGH
you read my thoughts about the orange brake disc's, i want some of those!!!!!!!

Stef
what lowerin' springs do you use? is it lowered at the front to the MAX???? 100mm??
how do you raise the back like that??
can you adjust it?
or get it to bounce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Phil

 

My Marj,
What big fingers you have......I know all the better to eat with my dear.
And boys I would sooner turn up in a canoe than a jumped up Jap bathtub on wheels.
Why do they call it an Impreza, more to the point who does it Impress..the only time heads turn to look at one of them is when it`s just made a loud cracking noise after running into the back of another car.
bring on the abuse boys I`m waiting!.
P,s i think if you care to look back in your history Marj all that abuse on the other bb was aimed at you, Oww and I have noticed since then you haven`t frequented the area much.
Bye Bye big boy.
