Back home from a super busy weekend at the ring, saterday arrived at 15:00 pm first lap was awful. THe strrering wasn't ginving good feedback and the brakes were vibrating.
The steering issues were related to the steering ball joints these where new but imatations. Was able to fix the problem on the spot, making a note to order new ones after the weekend.
Then the steering was improved quite a lot but the brakes were stil vibrating a bit, when i removed the front wheels i could't find a obvius problem so i refitted the wheels using 135nm of torks instead of 125 nm as usual.
This improved the vibration isseus enouch to ride with confidence.
So we did a few installation laps saturday with a lot of tinkering.
On Sunday it was increadeble busy so there were many incedents closing the track many times, we waited about until 16:00 pm when its getting a lot better because of all the guys who have to go home. We got driving till near closing time 18:30 pm , then we parked after a single lap andthe car and started to spill coolant. We let the car cool down and drove it to the hotel
5 km, again it was leaking coolant. The next day we were traveling home about 400 km, in the morning we were looking why the coolant was spilling.
At first we thought the headgasket was blown but this was not true.
It turned out to be the radiator cap was at fault, we scored a new one at the local dealership and problem solved. We had a uneventfull home journy.
