Did some track time at Brands yesterday. Car went superbly, I'm really happy with it. All bar one issue with the brakes...
Previously I was pushing around 105mph on the back straight, but with the new engine I was pushing 120+ mph! Awesome stuff. Destroyed everything on track. 
I've got a vid, but it's a bit useless as it's pointed up at the sky most of the time.  Sounds great though!

Under heavy braking, they were fine. Had no fade all day, but Brands is light on the brakes. But when I tried to push the brakes REALLY hard, the car kept diving to the left, and the pedal didn't feel quite as solid as usual. The car was doing this when I went out with Aron for a test drive a few weeks back. Annoying me a lot TBH. I'm wondering if it's suspension related...

which side is your leaky damper dave? as maybe it's diving that way as the damper can't fight back against braking force if you get me so it's just diving down on the left.
sounds like you had a good day on track though dude

Hard to say. But the front dips a bit, as you're braking seriously hard, and the car just pulls left quick abruptly. Nooooo's.

Will do tonight mate. It's 600mb, so a pain to upload. YouTube rejected it as it's over 10min, so will try opening a Photobucket account... It's not good to watch because of the camera pointing at the sky I'm afraid. Really disappointed, as there was cool stuff happening on track.

Engine seems to be more and more impressive everytime you update dude.
Lee could be onto something with the brakes via suspension. Once you tackle that and also fit a sturdy cage, maybe the issue will be ironed out?

Nah. If the rears were over braking, they'd lock.

It's possible Rush. But why wasn't it doing this at Llandow?

It's something which has always caused me a problem. I've never been 100% happy with my car's braking. Bummer...

It's not really that subtle. But thanks anyway.

Sorry for the poor camera. I blame Hannah!
Please don't expect much, it's really not that great I'm afraid.
