I've been out of touch for a while but boy this thread has got popular in recent months. Mr Black is now due out next week so I can swap him out for Mr Blue and see what up with the new clutch.
John McM - missed the banner order, any spares left??

Hmmm, yes, good point, I still need to clean off the evidence of my gardening... probably won't happen until the weekend, damn winter!

Great day on Sunday, a lot of fun.
Matt, interested in your times as we were close (I was in the 996 Turbo), although you got a bit quicker than me by the end of the day!
Sean - still using the endless pads in my 944S2 (the orange one) and they are brilliant.

I was dipping under 1min20 for a few laps but looking at the GPS data I was braking way too early on a few turns and still being a ***** over the home straight! Damn good fun though eh what? Bit of vibration in the back somewhere. I hit a ripple strip at taupo and lost a weight I think.

Good to see some of you again, despite the morning weather it was a great day. The car's feeling a bit nicer after being sorted out by Peter Alder. I suspect I need to experiment with tyre pressures and driving more aggressively as the fronts weren't getting much heat in them. What sort of times did you record, Matt?
I've just gone ahead and ordered a set of track wheels and some Performance Friction pads (06s for the fronts and 01s for the rears) from Design911.

I wanted to go for Endless ME20s but there didn't seem to be as much feedback around, the shipping from Vivid to NZ was insane ($350 US for a set of front and rear pads!), and Design911 (who the wheels are coming from) don't stock Endless.
Reviewing my GoPro footage, it looks like I was doing high 1:19s later in the day when the track was drier... unfortunately I had my GoPro in the wrong mode most of the time and only successfully recorded two sessions. Slightly regret not running the datalogger now!

Yeah, they sound great and if I was matching pads across axles I think I would've gone for them. Since I'm mixing compounds to tweak the bias, I didn't want too extreme a difference and it sounds like 06s have slightly more bite than 08s. The 06/01 combo is fairly well tested on 6GT3s, so there's plenty of feedback around to base the purchase on.

Since then I've been shamelessly promoting them to anyone who will listen. If you tell Mike from Prosport that I sent you to him he will price match for you I'm sure.
Chris- glad they are working out mate. When are we getting together in Shanghai? I'm back in NZ from Aug 2-11 but can meet you up there any time other than that.

Just ordered an RSS rear toe steer kit and lockout plates. It should save me money in the long run avoiding spurious alignments due to slipping eccentric bolts. And it's time to keep my hands away from my wallet for a while, hopefully.
