Scotts do look good and as you said he did not have problems on the track (with the brakes!)

Scott, can you give me some advice on yours - have re-read through what you did it does not look completely straight forward. Thanks

Thanks mate,
That would be easier then if it is all in a kit form with not too much messing about - where can I purchase the kit etc from so that I add it to the list of different choices I have - Trying hard not to purchase tonight so making a list of different combinations and seeing which I prefer and can afford.

That would be very nice set up mate.

I am either going that route or new age brembo.

Scotts look the dogs and he had no problems on the ring.
All i had were a nice set of EBC's with no grooves and a set of DS2500 pads, i had no prob with no warping or fade!!! :doubleup:

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 
I have Brembo's on mine with Performance Friction pads i put this combination above the Ferodo2500 that i have on the other Scoob. I did however boil my brakefluid so over half a lap was done with no peddle :doh: funny though it turned out to be the faster of the two i did on the Monday before we set off back home. Skullfudge hit the nail on the head when he mentioned the AP's. In that Evo around the ring they would fold tarmac up they felt that good :angst: Last minute brakeing from 150+ mph was unbeliveable :doh: This is all still very early no date's can be set untill the Nurburgering people come up with there calender for next year. As Crowman said prob end May Start of June 2010 :doubleup:

I'll be up for this too, trouble with midweek is that it's not always open to the public

worzel 30-06-2009 09:43 AM
Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 
I reckon a midweek trip doesn't look too likely if the track is not open very much. The timescale worked very well this year, the only unfortunate thing was we picked a German Bank Holiday. We will liaise with Jacquelline at the hotel in advance to get a normal weekend for next year so it's less busy.

Great to see so much interest already :doubleup: If this year is anything to go by, then we will have a cracking time. 8-)

Cheers matey, but I don't believe in bad luck. 13 holds no fear for me either.

I reckon bad luck = Bad judgement + lack of planning.

If I blow my car up next year it will be because I have done something monumentally stupid, as I will not go away with a car that is not 100% spot on next time.

I have discovered a few things about the so called "Service" that my car apparently had before I left, from Gatwick Subaru. Not a very happy bunny there :doubledown:

I know it may sound mad :whistle: Thing is when we were in Germany the Scoobys didnt do that well. 7 got there 2 of them never even seen the Ring & had a lift back on a lorry. One with bigend probs [suspected]the other with diff/gearbox probs. We went there to drive the ring. RING HOGG'S remember. Crowman 1 or two lapps, Warped his disc's 1st corner, Big E 1 or 2 laps, Scott 2 laps one of them sideways, Majorscoob 4 laps, Myself 6 laps i couldnt do anymore as my exhaust had blown & my brake peddle was on the floor + Phil & Joe would not get back in the car. Majorscoob woke up one day to find he had no boost nothing.So you can see there was a bit of a black cloud over the scoob's. Then you see Niel with the Evo who had done over 30 laps with no issues [cracked a disc] it in all honesty make's you think am i in the right car? I have untill January to make my mind up so plenty of time. Anyway adding an Evo in to a group of Subaru's will be fun :doubleup: :drive: :drive: :drive:
