Back to Project Mu's!

A quick post as I am about to fly back to Australia for a long overdue
holiday!
My existing endless pads have ended! Yes after Tsukuba time attack in
late January which Im yet to write a blog entry about my MX72 pads on
the front are down to just a few millis! The rears are in good shape
though and will last for many more runs!
A word about MX72s! Great pad giving an excellent pedal feel and
control with amazing stopping power but not a long lasting one! They
wear off faster than my previous ones from Project Mu but at the same
time are a lot quieter and by nature of their lower friction
cooficient damage the rotor far less! I'd recommend using MX72s as
long as you're a sporadic track runner (2 sessions a month tops) and
not a frequent one like myself (4+ sessions a month)! Also if you care
about noise MX72s are for you ! if you want more bite especially under
high speed (120kmh +) braking MX72s are not for you!

Anyway I ordered and just received HC+ front pads from Project Mu, the
same ones I'd used before switching to MX72! I'll stick with them long
term now having experienced different pads and understanding their
unique characteristics !

Btw! Check out the latest Tsukuba time on the right of this post!!
Broke 1'10"! My goal before the winter ends and upon my return from
Australia is 1'07"-1'08"! After that Ill stop chasing time and start
concentrating on consistency

I'm off to Perth now! Hopefully me boys down under let me drive one of
their race cars on some of Perths race tracks! We'll see what comes
up! At any rate Ill record video of anything remotely car related and
post it here!

Till March!!

See yas!

  1. I was going to use these pads on my dc5 this year but no one in the UK stocks them so would have to order in so im back to Mintex 1144's which are an excellent road/track pad. If you dont mind pad noise on the road (slight squealing) then Id highly recomend carbotec xp10's for a good road/track pad . I run my pads in combination with poject mu 2 piece discs.
