Hi guys, first track outing on Saturday with the scooby. Only a short 15 minute stint at Castle Combe as part of the spring day of action.
Been on the track a few times before, but first time with awd and loved the drive out of the corners. The brakes were crap and shot after just 2 laps, must be a problem there that I need to look at, but was getting horrendous juddering going into the the harder braking areas. New front discs and pads too!!
Handling was spot on though, courtesy of newly fitted CDF rolls bars, drop links and anti lift kit.
On another plus side, the 2.5 didnt go bang either

Thought I'd share a few photos. So here you go.

Nice one!
When you say the brakes were shot, did you experience brake fade or just noisy when braking? The latter is a characteristic of the Brembos I think.

Looooks amazing how was it on track? what did you make of the RE070 tyres i loved mine but did start to overheat after quite a few laps!! makes me really want to do a hawk conversion on my blob! love the front end so much!!

With regards to the brakes and tyres, the brakes were vibrating quite badly which could be felt in the steering wheel and seat etc. They were also stinking after only a few laps. My other car, a 300bhp vRS Octy had no such issues other than a little fade.
The tyres seemed pretty decent, but I had to back off due to the brakes. Only doing 1.26 laps.

And before you ask, it wasn't the abs!!

Maybe warped discs due to overheating.

Yeah, that's what I thought. However, they are new as as the pads. Only been on the car for a couple of months.
