    Finally got round to changing my parkers... Only to have the left one go out after about 3 seconds and now it won't work!

    Put the standard Ine back in and still nothing. Anyone know what I could have done? I thought fuse but all other lights work and I can't think that this lil light would have it's own one

    I like the look of the melted valance - it's tough
    Are you running proper semi slicks Jason ?

    Your times are really good, dont tell me you got those on road tyres

    Federal 595 rs-r...not really semi slicks but really sticky road tyres. They were awesome on the day, were still gripping really hard by the end of the 4th session. Drove to and back from the track on them as well!

    Your exhaust might be moving to hit the plastic, but if your exhaust tops are red hot too, I'd be a little concerned about you exhaust temps. That shouldn't be happening (though I don't know you mods). My tips have changed colour, more a brass colour than chrome and I haven't cooked my rear bar.

    I think it's just a case of the exhaust moving under load and rubbing on the plastic - there wasn't much room there to begin with as the Milltek tips are a lot larger. I've never had a problem with this on the street - I'm just putting it down to the high temps/load from being on the track.

    yeah, if they are bigger, that'll do it Small price to pay for the fun of track days hey. I'm itching to get back out on the track when time permits.

    Yeah I was pushing pretty hard but I reckon there was still another half a second or maybe more to be had...I was on a flyer until my cooler hose blew off

    the stock brakes actually did quite well, pedal was getting a bit soft but nothing major...the brakes seemed fine today driving to work too!

    I had the same problem...

    I think I will do a side exhaust.
