Yer, looks like a common problem which I never read about before.
I will look for a mod and see what I can do. It can't be good for the engine or my lap times (not that I'm timing).

Yip v common issue, twin pump it or swirl pot & aftermarket pump to sort.

[BullyB]

Thanks, I have been reading this:

Adding a second pump looks to be the most common solution.
Not seen much on swirl pots however...?

Set my wife a challenge to come up with some wheel colour ideas.
I'm going to paint my track wheels next month...

White


Pink


Blue


Or probably what I will go for:

[BullyB]

just got myself a couple of these for the front too:

I reckon they would look best in anthracite, but if you want a bright colour for track I think green.

Excellent - put me in mind of this fellow:

you would say white! I like the white but since I have the other set of wheels all refurbished in shiny silver, I was going for something a bit crazy for the track.

As for Blyton, I'm away till the start of April. it is a great fun track!
I have booked the BMWCC day at Cadwell in May and may do the Javelin day at Mallary mid April

Get them done in Pink, you know you want to really, would be a good laugh.

[BullyB]

I have to admit, the more I look the more I like pink....

[getawayturtle]

I think the bright blue ones are better.. suits the colour more. (Well, as much as it can)

[BullyB]

Techno Violet Rules..!

I'm thinking the Green that Porsche used on the 996 GT3RS

[BullyB]

Started a bit of wheel restoration...



Used some Nitromors to speed things up



But decided they needed to be blasted




now have a couple of coats of Etch Primer on.
The next step is to do a few coats of normal primer before going green.....

Mallory Park booked for the 6th April...

To Do:
Finish painting front wheels and get the new Federal tyres on
Change front brake pads
Change engine oil and filter

The garage is freezing!

Nice bully....

That how you do it properly. Do you have a sand blaster?

I just attacked mine with a b&q sander and some cheap primer

Bedford 15th April
Castlecomb 2 July

I took them to a blasting company after trying to strip them myself.

I will check those dates but think they clash.

[BullyB]

not sure if I should put lacquer on top?
Probably should?

[BullyB]

fresh meat for the front

[custardkid]

Let us know how you get on with, the blues, was close to getting some but stuck with yellows as they were 2/3 price and lasted 850 track miles.

I got 2000 miles out of my previous blue stuff front pads - most was on the track.
They are way better than the green stuff ones but I have not used yellow before
