What a great day l had yesterday with a friend of mine got invited to come down and see whats up at Sebring.
I managed to catch up with Boris Said for a few hours, he showed me some of the coolest things a car nut like me could ever see. I got so sit in his car and then shoiw me what tings he plays with while driving.
there was a botton there that would show on the display how much brake pressure was being put on each rotor and shown as a percentage front to rear....unreal. I pushed firmly on the brake and it showed there was around 500lb on each the front rotors.
I had about 35+min of tape as well but it gets saved in the wrong format to work with imagstation so l don't know what l shall do about showing you guys....
Gustav...any ideas.
I've got more pics in my M3 imagestation album....all numbered DCS onwards....in the lower part of the album you will see all the Sebring shots
Look at comments for the pic for descriptions of the shots

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that an Extra Strut bar going back to the firewall.

Is that for better ridgitity or is that part of the roll cage?

I had a HSV with some pretty serious suspension on it. The Brock shop said that any strut brace that wasn't braced against the firewall was more show than go.

The one they put on my car went on an angle back to the firewall, then travelled along the firewall, then back out on an angle back to the other tower.

I haven't seen one this shape for the Beast yet. When I saw this photo, it reminded me of what they said about it needing to be braced against the firewall to be most effective.

Apples,
Thanks for the photos, it will be cool to also see the videos.

MIB,
That is a roll-cage support bar.

That is the biggest airbox I have ever seen, it reminds me of those huge worms from the movie Dune

Cheers.
