    Hi Matt,

    Just ticked over 7k kms... Dark Grey, DSG, RNS510, ACC, Park Camera, Leather, 19" Black Talladega... Stage 1 APR.. with the HPFP & CAI paid up & awaiting installation.. purchased an APR DP tonight (although i havent told the missus yet - no doubt she won't be happy with more boy toys... I'm really enjoying the R... great finish and very nice every day drive... I hooked up an in-car HD camera from Sandown last week... happy to post some lap videos if any interest..?

    Hi Ray,

    My best lap was 1.32 in the afternoon on factory rubber that was pretty shot... the track instructor ran 1.28 in my car in the morning session with me in the front passenger seat. Intimidating (and humbling) to have someone go that hard & fast in my own car...! There was an Evo 9 with lots of mods & semi slicks... he ran 1.27... A supercharged (new) M3 was running sub 1.20.

    cheers,

    cheers David... lots of mods and options on your R - impressive! I see you have some new rotors on order... did you change the calipers & pads? i'd be keen to hear your progress with the brakes for everyday ride (noise, low temperature performance and progressive braking).
