I was getting judder so scrubbed my discs with a wire brush & also a flat file. Also gave the pad surfaces a light file.

Had a slight judder in first session as they bedded in, & then they were fine for the rest of the day.

Friday track day is booked. It's a session day with 4 sessions per hour so I should get a fair amount of track time and cool down time :)

Im off to combe tomorrow so got a few little bits done on the car in the last 2 days
finally got the new radiator in the old one wasnt leaking but looked a bit tired
Image
I snapped 2 of the bolts holding the rad mounts in getting it out so now there is only 1 each side so these will have to be drilled out and replaced :(
Then i found the bolts holding the fan on were also seized 3 came out 1 snapped :evil:
Image
the bottom left 1 in this pic snapped and whilst wiggling the fan the bracket then snapped grrrrrrrrrr
being that im going on track tomorrow ive just bolted it in with the 3 bolts and cable tide the last on
here it is on the new rad
Image
and it fitted back in
Image.
we then got my brake fluid changed as i think i boiled the fluid last time
Image
after work i popped over to the prelude emporium that is @nucleustylzlude to pick up some brake discs he wasnt using, cheers for these rob really appreciate it, there is no wobble on these so i dont think they are warped.
the locating grub screws were all seized in but after a few wacks with my trusty lump hammer i only had to drill 1 out.
Image
Image
i was informed to fit them this way round as they will give a more agressive pedal??
but hopefully with these 2 new brake additions ill be able to brake later and not have any fade or juddering :D
Ive also bought a cheap little camera off ebay £9.99
Image
its tiny and the sd card i had to buy was another £10, now i didnt have high hopes for the quality of the cam due to the price and the fact its only a 2megapixel cam but i conducted a few short test runs to see where to mount it and its surprisinly alright image wise, sound wise not so good. but here it is in its mounting point7
Image
Image
the annoying part is that becuase its cheap it can be a pain to turn on and you cant see any videos until you plug it into the computer so god knows what i will have to watch after tomorrow.
Heres a pic of my mates m3 hes just bought and it will be his first outing in it tomorrow its a pretty well sorted bit of kit.
