sounds pretty brutal Van!
hope your ok!!
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

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...
Make much of a difference to induction noise?
