there dans track wheels.

 

[DannyC87]

Nah WMI no, my pump has shafted itself! Going to be a while before it is sorted.

Yes, starfish alloys are my track wheels, p-zero corsa tyres fitted allowing for the quick laptime!

[turbo009]

Nice pictures your car looks good!

 

[jonjay]

Amazing pictures. Looks like you had a great time.

Thats a really impressive lap time - wonder what other hot hatches get?

 

[FSiLeonMike]

There is a list on the net somewhere, google it, best times by model

Wiki has some here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nürburgring_lap_times#Production_vehicles

[FSiLeonMike]

Of the top 234 times listed, Dan sits at about number 175, quicker than some Porsches, Maseratis and Mercs.

Cheers guys,
at Richy, those pads squeal like no ones business until hot - but then they are absolutely unbelievable, soo much better than ds2500s! Outbraking porsches and the like is simply awesome!!

Lol, i did warn you about the squeeling, you can understand why i took them off now as i only use my car on the road and usually in traffic.
The stopping power when hot is amazing.
Glad you liked them

Yea, I got very interesting reacts wherever I went.. the ferry, customs etc.. everyone covering their ears!

Thanks again for them, they have worn well too so will defo get another trip from them

 

[richybigman]

Good news on the wear front. It might be worth you getting in touch with Carbotech, cause i remember my brother had a problem with squealing pads in his Evo and they supplied him with some shims which made the squeal alot better.

 

[DJ-LIAMC]

Danny ur time is the same as a astra vxr nurumburg 8.36 as they made 836 of them lol

 

[George 3G]

That'll be with a race driver that knows the circuit too!

Tghe DS3000's are the same.
REALLY bad squealing on heavy braking when cold but the hot braking is friggin awesome.
The only track day I've done with them on was VERY wet but was managing to lock the front tyres (R888's) pretty easily.
Love them and even cold there very good but for an every day car they would drive you nuts.
But as our pads are so easy to change I'll be running DS2500's every day and DS3000's for track.

Mine was with a yellow flag to slow down for tho... a clear lap would be around 10seconds less.. oh well, bring on next year!!

I'm doing the same. DS2500s for road use, XP8s for track.
