Finding a good brake setup for track is a pain ... Tried Stoptech discs and pads, no problem for sporty street use, but on track, holes still clogged ... So ended up to buy RR Racing front 2 pieces rotors, I will paired them with MX72 pads, I love the feeling with the HC+800 but these ones are eating discs hardly. We will see the result but I think it will be awsome on track.
Also got a Tom's style front lip, Novel style fenders, Tom's start button and titanium style gear ****
Done a few trackdays since Spa, and also 4 laps on the famous Nurburgring, very impressive track
Next mod, OEM exhausts pipes, I've still found the Hayward & Scott ones a little bit weird, got the chance to grab OEM ones for a good price, waiting to receive them
Build is coming along nicely! It must have been incredible having the car at the Nurburgring! Following for more

Thanks, can't wait to install your rotors
For sure, it's the best place to be when you are a car enthusiast, and when you drive your car on this track, it's a special feeling, exciting and scary

how did you paint your window chrome? If you don’t mind share the process
Thank you
No, I've painted it with plastidip first (x3), then gloss black (x3) and varnish (x4)

This year, almost nothing new on the car, just a new set of front pads since yesterday, season 2023 will be with Endless MX72 Plus instead of Stoptech Sport, curious to see the differences, Stoptech ones are very good and last a very long time. For their last moments on track, they've seen Le Mans Bugatti, and they've been busy
It's been a long time !
The F is fine, nothing big new for her, just basic maintenance. She has little cuts after 5500rpm when full throttle without any codes or engine light, so she now has an AEM E85 fuel pump with brand new filter unit and strainer and now it's fine. I've also painted the 4 calipers in orange because they peeled, love them like that ! And that's it.
The F saw the Nurburgring 3 more times (she is in a video of "Nurburgring fails and near crash compilation" because of a 200 km/h slide ), and saw the Le Mans Bugatti one more time.
Since summer 2024, she has a sister with her, another 2008 ISF, with quite a few parts, who will be more track focused. That second ISF has half the parts I wanted to buy and install on the SGM one, so it was easier to modify that one instead.

For now, coilovers are so awful that I can't imagine going to track with it, Tein are way too soft, softer than oem unit, the car does not feel like an F anymore with them on corners, very disturbing, can't wait to have better coilovers. I will have to do the valley plate on this one, there is a very little drop of coolant under sometimes.
Your Nurburgring video is great I'm very impressed with your driving! It looked like the
camera man was enjoying the ride also.
I wonder if you are still running the mx72 pads? I use them for street and tracking and like them for both.
Also are you using an oil cooler? I noticed the oil temp bar was getting a bit high 6 bars maybe?
Anyway great videos and thanks for sharing.
Yes we enjoyed this lap, even if there was a yellow flag on a really fun and fast section of the track, it was a fun one
Yep, still have MX72+ pads, I'm on the second set since last year. I'm thinking of trying the ME20 ones on the black ISF to see the differences, but really love the MX72+ too !
No, don't have oil cooler. Oil temp goes high on track yes, sometimes it goes full bars ...
You're welcome, thank you too, it's always a pleasure to share with others car guys
Thank you
