Hi guys,

It's been a long time without any update.

Finding a good brake setup for track is a pain ... Tried Stoptech discs and pads, no problem for sporty street use, but on track, holes still clogged ... So ended up to buy RR Racing front 2 pieces rotors, I will paired them with MX72 pads, I love the feeling with the HC+800 but these ones are eating discs hardly. We will see the result but I think it will be awsome on track.

Also got a Tom's style front lip, Novel style fenders, Tom's start button and titanium style gear ****





















Done a few trackdays since Spa, and also 4 laps on the famous Nurburgring, very impressive track




Next mod, OEM exhausts pipes, I've still found the Hayward & Scott ones a little bit weird, got the chance to grab OEM ones for a good price, waiting to receive them

Thanks, can't wait to install your rotors
For sure, it's the best place to be when you are a car enthusiast, and when you drive your car on this track, it's a special feeling, exciting and scary

No, I've painted it with plastidip first (x3), then gloss black (x3) and varnish (x4)

For the windows, it's just a chrome delete with a gloss black tape, I've found it here

Hi, some news from France ^^

RR Racing front rotors with Stoptech Sport pads are in



​​​​
​​​​​​Replacement of the PCV valve, easy when you have the right tools haha



I had a broken foglight after a trackday, so upgraded them to OEM LED of the 2014




Back in summer 2020, a friend made a little F meet (here, F cars are very rare ...)


Unfortunatly rain was here for the ride ...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/94sfv4tn58...n%202.mp4?dl=0

Between the lockdowns, had the chance to do a trackday at Spa Francorchamps with a F friend, but with the rain too ^^








Best wet lap in 3.32

Best dry lap in the end of the day in 3.08

One of the first session of the morning, in the rain

The last session of the day with dry trajectory


The F welcomed another V8 in the family, dad's gift for his 60th birthday ^^

Hi there,

This year, almost nothing new on the car, just a new set of front pads since yesterday, season 2023 will be with Endless MX72 Plus instead of Stoptech Sport, curious to see the differences, Stoptech ones are very good and last a very long time. For their last moments on track, they've seen Le Mans Bugatti, and they've been busy
