Great choice going with AP. They look amazing!

Thanks, Namir...
quick note from Redline... "Rears where the easiest to install...virtually bolt on. Fronts required major trimming of OEM backing plate to allow rotor fitment. Instructions where very good. Bleed system with Motul racing brake fluid...bleeding was extremely easy, rare in big brake conversions. I am very impressed with the overall kit." ... will cover all this in detail in a couple weeks after next track day |
I absolutely love big brake kits.

UPDATE: good progress today at Redline Motorsports... I will pick the car up tomorrow. Things are looking good. Dual oil cooler kit is in and was tested and WORKING GREAT! I predict this will be the most robust oil cooling solution, period. Full details and pictures by end of week. BBK ready to go. We are planning brake ducting that will work with either the AP Racing BBK or the OEM Sport brakes. My shop plans to make this a kit available to you all as well. Diff cooler will have to wait until after my trip to MMS on 7/11, but I think the only guy waiting on that is DDM. More tomorrow!
Also, I think I just found my NEXT race car for 2012... 2,200 pound, 160 hp, Furai-inspired Mazda MX-2... Going to go out on a limb... this will be a huge success! Imagine tuning the turbo model to 200whp and ~1,800 pounds! wow http://www.themotorreport.com.au/wp-...oncept_021.jpg Mazda MX-2 Roadster To Arrive in 2012 | The Motor Report: Auto News And Reviews |
Good Stuff. That MX-2 looks crazy :)

So how about the dual oil cooler? Is your shop going to make that available? and how hard would it be to install ourselves or at a local shop?
|
The dual oil cooler kit will be available in about a month. We needed more time for testing and to prepare the kit for sale. We also need to become a sponsor before we can market or sell anything on this site. Travis is racing at Miller Motorsports Park this weekend with this new setup.
The kit is designed to be easily installed by anyone with minor mechanical skills or any local tuning shop of choice. Cheers, Robert |
Ready for race tomorrow! Miller Motorsports Park, starting at 8am... sorry, no twitter but I will update here next couple days... have a long drive back to Arizona first!
AP Racing brakes performed very well on the street... full write up later Random bits... A couple little things I noticed about the car during my drive to Utah... you guys may already know these, but I just figured them out so thought I'd share 1) can only set cruise control at 90mph or less 2) when you press IN on either the cruise control selector or the steering wheel mounted stereo controller, the horn goes off ! |
Have fun on the track sir! Jealous for sure! Can't wait to hear your results...
|
Quick update from the track.. Apr brakes work great, can't wait to provide more details. Dual oil cooler setup is keeping temps well below 250 despite my best efforts. Ran a 1:50 in last session. Still on street tires. Will try to grab a couple more seconds this afternoon.
Big problem. Despite low oil temps, I am still hitting limp mode !!!!! 6,500rpm limit in third gear only with 240f oil temp showing. Just did a battery disconnect to reset computer. We'll see if it happens again. If it does, we have a deeper issue to resolve with this computer. |

Just read 17 pages. Thread of the year PERIOD. The limp mode is weird...hope it's just a one time glitch and goes away for good after resetting.
