Over 3000 miles trip mega FBO in 10 days with a stop at the NurburgsRing

enrita · 05-03-2011, 03:36 PM

yes i have the stoptech lines.
i actually just got in touch with STATIS and they have the following pads available. which one would you guys recommend? The SBS are not longer available. I probably need some new rotors as well since they got eaten up bad.... I do have a set of Ferodo DS 2500 home as well.. Might put those on first since the squeling is killing me haha

CarbotechT XP10T (1110T)
When Carbotech unleashed the XP10T to the general public, and it was an instant success, gathering multiple regional, divisional, and national championships. The XP10T is a very high initial bite friction material, with a coefficient of friction and rotor friendliness unmatched in the industry. Fade resistance is in excess of 1650°F. Due to the high level of friction and bite, this material is recommended for cars weighing around 2,000lbs or more, not including formula cars and cars with brake bias bars weighing less than 2,000lbs. This is the preferred compound for the front of Spec Miata racers, SSC,SSB, T3, SRF, ITS, ITE, H1,H2, H3, H4, 944 Cup, ST, GS, Factory Five Cobra's and many more Grand-Am/ALMS/SCCA/NASA classes. XP10T is also ideal for advanced/instructor level HPDE drivers. XP10T still maintains the highly praised release and excellent modulation, rotor friendliness, and 100% non-corrosive dust that have made all Carbotech compounds so successful. XP10T is not recommended as a daily-driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.

CarbotechT XP12T (1112T)
The latest iteration of the highly successful XPT series of compounds with an extremely high initial bite, torque and fade resistance than compound XP10T. XP12T is a world leading friction compound that is unmatched as a Ceramic racing compound, with a temperature range of 250°F to 2000°F+. The XP12T still has that excellent Carbotech release and modulation that has made all other Carbotech compounds so successful. The XP12T is the most rotor aggressive compound Carbotech offers, but compared to the competition the XP12T is still very rotor friendly and contains 100% non-corrosive dust. XP12T is recommended only for expert/very advanced drivers. XP12T is found to be most affective on race cars weighing 2,400lbs or more using R-Compound tires; or street cars weighing 3,200lbs or more for track use only. Ideal for LMP1, LMP2, DP, T1, T2, T3, H1, H2, GT1, GT2, GT3, TC, GT, ST, GS, MX-5 Cup, etc. XP12T is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise

great story

Aridk · 05-03-2011, 03:59 PM

Tough call bay´em both and switch pads before a track day, no def. go with the xp 12t

Moodist · 05-03-2011, 05:04 PM

Great story, glad your car is running the way you expect it. Like everyone else, I am jealous and would love to have the opportunity.

Bagelfast · 05-03-2011, 07:10 PM

Very nice write up, i wish i was with my 335i in europe with u.

Fernflex · 05-04-2011, 04:28 PM

I wish I was there, nice story!

Btw: check out Stett oil cooler kit this kit completely removes oem oil thermostat, I have stage 1 without thermostat and in the street it doesn't go over 220 the stage oil cooler is twice the size of mine and you can order 180 in line thermostat!

my shop can do a thermostat delete as well without problems. They actually sell one.
The main issue i have is the water temps also mainly related to the AT trans heat exchanger. holding 125 C oil temp after 2 laps at the ring with 25-26 C outside is good enough for me in respect to oil temp.

Try adding the second radiator that goes in the driver side of the car, I think is the one 335is had or maybe you can find somebody to code your ecu and use the 335is radiator fan that is better than the one we have!

i have already the AR oil cooler in that spot. IMHO if i split the heatexchanger AT trans from the water cooling it should be enough.

Mr. 5 · 05-05-2011, 09:30 AM

You only did 185? You suck!

xxp0loxx · 05-05-2011, 09:38 AM

going to the Nürburgring is a treat in itself, even if you dont get on the track.

The AR cooler could be moved in front of the radiator so that you can install the Performance Power Kit radiator on the driver side. I plan to go that route this summer.

Looking forward to your findings on an AT cooler

sorry for OT enrita, but ar oc can be fitted in front of a radiator and all air goes from kidney grilles directly into oc

i have the first version of the OC , i think is too thick to fit in front of the radiator. I am not moving that one . Best is to fit a TRANS AT OC somewhere IMHO

LOL, I suck because i only did max around 150, my goal was 185-190 but i could not push it that high because of the eastern traffic ;-) next time :-)
You gotta do it right and safely

I suck too then, I only did 175 mph in the days just before Easter

There simply wasn't enough room on the autobahn anywhere to drive any faster. At those speeds you have to have all lanes well ahead of you completey free from other any traffic I think. Next time I drive to Berlin from Rostock on a friday evening, I will give the 300 km/h (~186 mph) mark a go, there's usually not much traffic around 10 pm anyway, and there are long straight parts.

Nice picture when i run 6 laps on Misano track in Italy

R1000K3 · 05-08-2011, 09:14 AM

What a fantastic event Enrico, thanks for sharing. I may go there myself later this year but am not sure when since I'm ill at the moment. Good to hear your car finally runs great and reliable
