    I have a pit crew of one - he doubles up as sponsor and driver

    The front pads looked a bit thin at the start of the day (just less than the backing thickness on both sides) but the driver side pads went away REALLY fast as the day went on. The passenger side pads still had about 5mm vs the 1mm (or less ) remaining on the driver side. The rotor scouring on th driver side is much worse too

    Here's a pic of the extended strut
    Camber plate on passenger side
    The negative camber isn't very noticable - visually

    Thanks for your concern Dylan, but all is ok with me just the car has a few issues, soon to be repaired and better than ever.

    Cheers Van

    he cut the stone guard flap out of the PD160 induction trumpet.

    If he's really cool, he'll move to a cone-in-a-box setup for more noise...
