  1. I have gone the cheaper way, and got a manual 50 lap timer. In lieu of an IR beacon, I hit the lap button when I pass the start/finish line. Last lap time freezes for 15 seconds into the next lap.

    This, too, was $100.

    Recording method is pencil and paper at the track, onto PC at home. I can relive the event many many times.

  2. Have had 2 sets and they have excellent stopping power.

    They heated up my disks which follows from track-braking and disks needed major cooling down. Probably mostly down to the driver. For rallies and sprints, there is more cool-down time between corners, so less hot disks.

    Highly recommended.

    (Have TS2000's now, and previously 2 x Lucas, 2 x EBC Redstuff Ceramic, 3 x Bendix Ultimates, not in that order.)

  3. So... any chance you'll replace the O2 sensor?

    Symptoms for my faulty 02 sensor were that when I'd first start the car, and it was supposed to idle, the engine would cut out. Something like a major electrical system shutdown - not entirely dissimilar to your situation.

    As Ichiban suggests, fix one fault at a time, until they all go away. Especially a major recurring one.

    (I unclipped the lead for my O2 sensor until I could afford to buy a new one. ;))

    that link is worth its weight in gold!

    thanks Al!

    It's worth $400 ;D BTW I made the metal brackets out of stainless steel I had from a discarded bbq lid.

    Total cost ~$20.

    Time taken = lots, because it takes me a while to do these things.

    my theory is high revs are the killer (leads to oil starvation in critical areas such as BEB)

    until a few years ago I was of the assumption there was 1 big end bearing near the flywheel

    now I smarter and know its the Big bearing on the crank-shaft holding/rotating the Piston

    Hmmm, yes it's quite big
