TORSPD: NEVR

Lol, never heard that saying before. I like it.

 

Took some measurements of the rotor and hat yesterday. Didn't yet compare them to what is available from Wilwood, but at least I have that done. Those Rotora H6 pads really wore down the rotors, so it won't be to far in the future that new ones will be necessary. Might be Wilwoods this time around.......


Recent updates from Darton East.



They trimmed the bottom of the counterweights for piston clearance, and machined the block for clearance with the rods.

 

so pretty!

Let me know if you want the info on the pads we use... I can dig it up for ya. They wont be the most street friendly and will squeal a bit on the street but you will never stop better at the track

You could have a street rotor and pad combo and a track rotor and pad combo.... Just saying it to say it but don't swap pad types on the same rotor if you can help it.

 

Running errands, one being PowerFab. Saw a sweet White, Double Cab, Total Chaos LT Taco there. Getting some exhaust work done.

Hell yeah. Post it errands

 

I'll dig up the pad info when I get home.

If you get serious at the track, consider these tires heavily. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+Z214

We get tons of laps on these with the ~same grip as cup tires or hoosier sticky's. Not positive if these would work on a truck but worth looking at...

 

Brake info brah:

and if you really get crazy at the track and need them to run cooler run something like this:

 

I would like to run brake ducting on my truck, just need to cut off my dust shields.

 

Scroggin's Machine Shop is worthy of a call.

Thank you Sconnie! Haven't looked at this page since the post previous to you posting up the picture.

It is definitely something I will keep in mind.

Update: Coilovers.

 

No problem Tor. We've tried some Hawk pads and others but nothing worked as well and lasted as long as the H compound from willwood. Just info if you ever need it

 

Did the H compound wear the rotors down very quickly? The Rotora H6 racing pads, which came with the BBK, turn into a very sharp silicate which wore down my rotors very fast.

The next set of pads, I want not to be the type that turn into that sharp cutting compound. The Carbotech pads do not.

 

Hey Torspd, mind checking out my RS 8.0 Build when you get a chance? I'm trying to decide between which lightweight crank pulley.

 

Hmm, we ran the same rotors for most of the year with the willwood h pads. At least 6 weekends full of hotlaps (probably ~250 miles of running HARD each weekend)! We had to change out the rotors at the last track day due to cracking, not material loss wear. We had one nice crack running all the way thru the outer edge of the rotor which means a change. radial spider cracks are fine its just the ones that radiate all the way out to the edge that can grenade a rotor... = bad day.

 

What's this?

 

coil overs?

 

Correct, but which brand?

 

Ohlins bitches!!!

 

Of allllllll the people on here you would be the one to guess first. Lmao. I knew you would get it. So much for suspense. Lol.

 

Lol google is so smart

Can't wait to see the eye candy! Nice work dude!

 

Cheater lol
