Re: my new nova

So a good day then?, what's with the brakes, pad material?
Fluid leak?, sure that wasn't from your pants, just after the spin?
An what's this about a feckin parrot?

Hello Tom not sure on the brakes i am going to bleed them one more time ,then try new pads if that doesnt work i will put the old 16v brakes back on until i get a proper bias box
I thought the parrot would go with the false leg

Re: my new nova

it was pleasure seeing the nova back on track and cant thank andy enough for his massive help and instruction along the way but the real praise goes to the man who has spent most of his spare time working in all weathers and through a difficult few months at home so well done bro by the way matt them tyres boiled or roasted

Re: my new nova

Dont worry nick Andy who helps with the car used to race ovals and rallycross and he said you use the car in front to slow you down:
I have been speaking to the people who supplied the brakes and by sounds of it the pads have glazed so i have been deglazing them and the discs so if i bed them in they should be ok, one way of finding out

I should ok then,you won't get that close

Glazed how did that happen? Or have they not been bedded in at all?

[Toymex]

Re: my new nova

I am not sure why they have glazed the bloke from compbrake thinks that as we were using the original master cylinder there may not have been enough pressure to bed them properly i am hoping to have a little run out with the car the saturday before the race in a large concrete area just up the road to see if i can bed them in now i have the bias box it might generate enough pressure to not glaze them if not i will just set fire to it

Re: my new nova
