Apollo was unbelievable. I would just turn in, and the car would oblige. handled better than my buddies newer Cayman S in my opinion, although I was on DOT-R tires. I need to get a goPro before the next event so I have some evidence! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) -Ross |

Ross , we always do a couple things to our T4 2.0 club car before events, besides the simple things like checking belts, hoses, CV's , brake pads, ; we change oil/filter, check+set valves, bleed brakes, (flush after 2 events), and lube the (elephant racing) trailing arm bushings. Take an extra set of pads with you, especially for a 2 day event. I also stuff a small paper towel around the inside of the brake fluid reservoir. That's in case of a boiling event, easier to clean as the mess stays in the paper. Get yourself some sticky Toyos or Khumos and enjoy that big T4 103mm torque out of the turns !

Thomas, I'm afraid I have a windows phone, so no lap timer ( last time I checked).
Marty + Matt, I'll have to get a checklist and make sure to go through each of those before the next event, which is the last week of October (hopefully no snow). My current tires are Nitto NT-01's which seem to be decently sticky, and should last me through the end of this year at least. For my 1000'th post, I have attached a few shots of the damage to the hub from the brake pad. My plan is to take a grinder to the metal lip and take enough of it so it clears. Anyone see problems with that?    |

I'm gonna guess you have the Volvo 4-pot calipers? If so, yes, with some pads you have to grind the metal away. I noticed it when I went and put a new set of pads on my calipers that it rubbed on the rotor hat. It's not a huge deal.. take a fine rasp, clean off the burrs, and grind down the metal backing on the pad..
No harm, no foul. |

That's not the rotor hat either... That's an aftermarket cool rotor block off plate. Probably needs it because of the size pads in the Vulva calipers.
I'd probably make some changes. Edit: it appears to possibly be a spacer to properly center the rotor. Cool rotor block offs should go in the back. |

Maybe these photos will make it clearer. I'm running 911 struts, and the rotor is bolted only to the aluminum disc, which in turn is bolted to the hub. The other side of the rotor is floating.

Those are some sort of hat... Doesn't look as bad now that it's zoomed out...
