Zwartkops Track Day
4 Nov 2013
Data recorded with RaceChrono for Android, and mashed onto the video using RaceRender. Both are excellent tools I can recommend wholeheartedly.
Yup, I installed more bits :). See the link for full details.
I also bought myself a small camera for recording laps. Here’s my fairly boring first recording:
Got some more goodies fitted to my ricemobile, this time, a rad brake upgrade!
Previously, I had Powerbrake disks with street pads, and unfortunately pretty much killed them on the track. I’ve fitted a brand new set of Powerbrake front disks, as well as Endless CC-Rg pads and replaced the brake fluid with Endless RF-650 brake fluid.
As the pads are primarily meant for track use, they squeal like hell under light braking on the street, but that’s something I’m happy to live with, though I’m not sure the neighbours would agree when I come and go at night. Even though they’re not completely bedded in yet, they stop like nothing on earth.
Cannot wait to try the ‘zorst and brakes out at a proper track day next month (and also see how my ECU tune does)!
The Honda Owner’s Club of South Africa hosted a Bridgestone-sponsored track day at Zwartkops this last Sunday. Was seriously awesome to be able to zoot around with similar performance cars, unlike a regular track day where you have to constantly worry about being run off the road by BMW M3s :D.
A highlight was a pair of Integras out on the track, although I’m proud to say my ’lil Type R was quite capable of outperforming them all day :P.
Grabbed a bunch of shots of the action.
