Hhahaha! dont worry now i can see the pics a lot better!

When i was searching for my brake setup Carbotech was on my list... but i buy the EBC USR Slotted Rotors and decide to go with the EBC yellow stuff brake pads to make the match... But for sure my next brake pads setup are going to be the Carbotech

Had a two day event last weekend at Buttonwillow with SpeedDistrict. I managed 2:10 on Saturday before improving that to 2:09.52 (video coming soon). Unfortunately, this happened:









The engine threw a rod. 220 miles and 6 hours later, the car arrived at Z Car Garage, where it remains while we draw up a repair plan. A word of caution for those spending lots of time at the track: we believe fuel-starvation was the culprit in this case -- it's not just bad for lap times, but bad for the engine too. We'll be including phunk's Road Race Pump as part of the repair plan and I'll document the effort as we make progress!

You think the motor was running lean for a long time because of fuel starve? Any signs of detonation? Could you hear the pinging?

I didn't hear much besides the fact that it was not running well right at the end, as evident in the video. That section of the track, from the hairpin to cotton corners to grapevine, has three turns out of four that can trigger fuel cut even with 16 gallons, and I was getting it pretty bad at that point.

I was getting detonation, you can see the CEL flashing in the tach, which is the EcuTek knock warning.
