  8. Hey , I was out of the country so missed it unfortunately. My next event will probably be the leadfoot festival next year Did you go to the golden cross hillclimb ?
  9. Hey , Thanks , been having a blast in it lately. All the small little developments and mods are coming together That squeak is really annoying ! Its only on the rears and the brakes work really nicely, good from cold and no lock ups but are just really noisy. I started with Wilwood PolyMatrix E which is what I run up front but have gone to a softer wilwood pad like you did, a BP-20 (which I was using for that last hillclimb), my next one to try is a BP-10 which is softer again. I've also tried the anti vibration shims and new discs with no luck... Cheers Bro ! My grin was ear to ear after that and so was my dads in the codriver seat
