Win Some, Lose Some...
Published Tuesday, February 21, 2006 by Karen Phillips Racing | E-mail this post
We've won a couple of eBay auctions!
This means we've got an MR2 quickshift, and a Corbeau Sprint race seat winging their way to us via the mail. That made up for the disappointment of losing out on some other seats (see previous posting). I guess we must have caught everyone else napping. Mind you, being at work and using their broadband connection probably helped!
This elation has been tinged with sadness, as Karen's Nissan 200SX track car is now slowly being dismantled. The seats, harnesses, wheels/tyres, dump valve, boost controller, oil cooler, have all been sold and one of the biggest items looks set to be sold very shortly as well. A set of brakes that made a dramatic difference to driving the car on track. Massive 335 x 32 mm Brembo discs and some Hi-Spec Monster 4 pot calipers with Ferodo DS2500 pads.
Racing the MR2 using standard discs, and some uprated pad material will certainly be a challenge.
