Pete - Great job with the car, looks awesome. Will miss seeing you at the Northern California tracks this year. I never thought of only using 3 of the JackPoint jackstands, I'll have to give that a try.

Great mods and georgeous 4.0, thanks for sharing....
The company who makes these discs are a couple of miles up the road from where I live in northern England, it is good to see that Guido is getting them out there

HOD is coming to Reno-Fernley on May 12/13th. They usually do the "big" course, config B. You owe it to yourself to come experience it.
Thanks! Now go get a proper glass rear window
Guido Frensmeyer, the man behind Movit, is one of the finest brakesmiths around. He does great work and really gives fantastic after sales service.
I did once phone him on my mobile so he could here what happened when I braked from over 200 mph he told me he used to turn the lights off on his car when driving at night because it went faster that way. His dad used to be president of the Lamborghini Owners' Club.
The CSC rotors were nixed by F1 on grounds of cost, some years ago.

Too expensive for F1, wow, that is an amazing statement

I was desperately trying to get the brakes bedded in for three hours yesterday in advance of my track day, er...Cars and Coffee this weekend. I guess over the past two days I have logged over one hundred 70-0mph stops and they keep on getting better. I am told it takes approx 450 such stops to get the system fully broken in. Such an enormous increase in swept area and thickness, have not yet been able to get them warm enough to even give off any smell.

Nicely done Pete! I wondered when the mod-bug would get you started on the 4.0!! Top rung as usual!
Soooooo...... What's next up? (You know there's a "next up")

I'm already signed up for Infineon that weekend. I'll try for the one in October with HOD.

many years ago I was driving up to the lake from Carson, there is (used to be?) a series of corners you could take real fast with the sun in your eyes, but you had to count the corners, that time I miscounted and flew into a 60 mph corner at well over 100. I took my hands off the wheel and folded my arms tight ready to roll, the car just said 'OK, boss' and sorted itself out, somewhat embarrassed I retook the wheel and carried on, the girl in the passenger seat thought I was showing off!
There's plenty of great driving in NV

PS- meant to mention that for those who have no idea who "MovIt" is (which would be 99.2% of folks), they were a technology partner with Renault F1 in 2011 (look on the front nose cone of the F1 cars) and will be an OE optional brake on the Loti (Lotuses?) coming out over the next few years. And maybe on other cars.
Awesome brakes for "CnC"
My question is, did you compare with the Endless product line?
Sweet 4.0 and enjoy.
