See the link for full details.</p> <img src="/2010/11/09/more-car-stuff/2010-11-09-engine.jpg" alt="New engine bay"class="image-center full-width" /> <p>I also bought myself a small camera for recording laps. Here&rsquo;s my fairly boring first recording:</p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ORR7It9EK0c?autoplay=0&amp;controls=1&amp;end=0&amp;loop=0&amp;mute=0&amp;start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"></iframe> </div>/2010/07/29/more-stuff/Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:49:28 +0000/2010/07/29/more-stuff/<p>Got some more goodies fitted to my ricemobile, this time, a rad brake upgrade!</p> <p>Previously, I had Powerbrake disks with street pads, and unfortunately pretty much killed them on the track. I&rsquo;ve fitted a brand new set of <a href="http://www.powerbrake.co.za/prod_kits/kits_gt.htm">Powerbrake front disks,</a> as well as <a href="http://www.tougedistribution.com/item--Endless-CC-Rg-Winding-and-Circuit-Front-Brake-Pads--EP406-CCRG/">Endless CC-Rg pads</a> and replaced the brake fluid with <a href="http://www.tougedistribution.com/item--Endless-RF-650-Brake-Fluid--EF-RF650/">Endless RF-650 brake fluid</a>.</p> <p>As the pads are primarily meant for track use, they squeal like hell under light braking on the street, but that&rsquo;s something I&rsquo;m happy to live with, though I&rsquo;m not sure the neighbours would agree when I come and go at night. Even though they&rsquo;re not completely bedded in yet, they stop like nothing on earth.</p>/2010/06/30/hocsa-track-day/Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:48:17 +0000/2010/06/30/hocsa-track-day/<p>The <a href="http://www.hondaowners.co.za/">Honda Owner&rsquo;s Club of South Africa</a> 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.</p> <p>A highlight was a pair of Integras out on the track, although I&rsquo;m proud to say my &rsquo;lil Type R was quite capable of outperforming them all day :P.</p>
