The foggies are Goooone! Jeff has them now, but not before I gave em a nice clean up on the buffer.
I have had a quick look at brake ducting and reckon I should be able to dodge something up out of flexible drainage pipe or similar. Just gotta figure out how to match the shape of the hole, and where to run it without fouling anything.
The weird thing is, the factory brakes didn't fade noticeably over 7-10 laps of Wakefield. They faded over the period of the day as the rear pads evaporated, but no where as quick as they used to in my Rx-7. It used to have serious fade after 3-4 laps of Hidden Valley, and they were slotted rotors and Hi-po pads (whatever all the IPRA guys used up there).
As for the gauges, I was going to mark the face with some contact, or a marker, but your idea has some merit there, Andrew.
I'll have to wait until Oran park at the end of Jan before I find out what 'normal' is on the gauges though- unless someone knows already.
