Okay guys im back,

Had a bit of a mare, but it could of all been worse. The car requires quite an overhaul of the front drivetrain and shes in need of a new braking setup.

The Brembos just arnt cut out for the ring. So maybe AP or Porsche setup is in order.

We got in 5 laps before the bearing let go and we were lapping in the very early 9's passing bikes and the odd porsche is a rather nice feeling. I know the curcuit very well now and can drive every bend in my head.. i just have to learn how to drive it quickly for real now.

So if anyones interested i'll have a set of refurbished Brembos coming up for sale with Tarx discs and new yellowstuff pads(The pads have done approx 500miles)

Dunno mate.

I need to stay 330mm or so. I need a setup to fit under my 17"s. So if i can get a MOVIT or Porsche setup i will. If not then it will probably be a set of AP 6 pots.

We shall see.

I'm going for the Porche, but I dont think it will clear less than 18"s.

Was the case when i looked into them....
Like wise the 18"wheel, AP 6 pots were cheaper as Holden made an order for around 10,000 units.
But then many say the 4 pots are more than adequate for all but heavy race applications
I just happened to find a cheap set of 6 pots on ebay!

I will be back with Zak in a few weeks, so you could always have a play with mine and see what fits...

My Brembos will be for sale too...

The Brembos will be overhauled, and painted.

Tarox g88 40 groove discs that have done approx 5k and have plenty of life left and a set of yellowstuff R's that have done about 500miles tops.

I will be painting the calipers too so they will be mint.

Looking for £550 for the lot
