I have never had any issues with the brakes. As you know I take it fairly easy on track but they have always done fine and I have never had any issues with fade. I have slammed on the brakes from decent speeds at Silverstone and they have been fine.

I would really recommed the ferodo ds2500 pads they make a huge difference to the braking power. If you fit them you will feel the difference when you brake hard. I used to pull up too soon when I was first getting used to them.

If the power is upped then I might consider other options but for now I reckon the brake setup I have is spot on.

I have had problems with fuel surge/ starvation a few times on track. This might be more due to my particular car as I have had 3 fuel pumps in the last few years but reckon it might be worth uprating the whole fuel setup.

Never had any problems with leaks other than washer bottle.

Other than that it has been reliable enough on track and it has always got me home. The only problems I have had have been down to my driving rather than because of the car.

Will be keeping an eye on all the focus threads plus valleys fiesta thread so we can all co-ordinate a day at Llandow hopefully as would be good to get them all out on track and despite the distance I find it a decent day out

whats the symptoms of fuel starvation for your car? i have had problems with my silver one since buying it which i think was fuel starvation. only occaisionally when the revs got up it would die flat and would not accelarate until i back off then back on. got a replacment pump but its dated 2002 and mine is 2003 so thinking will it be no better than one i got.

ajc.78

In long corners it starts to surge like the "kangarooing" you get from a dodgy pump basically what you describe. I keep looking at uprated pumps but have never got around to fitting one.

nevsrevs

If your getting surge then the only cure is a swirl pot really boys,

Straight_4_N/a

Ive already told him he needs one :/ and a baffled sump.

Straight_4_N/a

Baby theres nothing wrong with just having stock pads and discs, i still out brake you lol

Told you to get a fuel swirl pot :/

ajc just get everything i posted you to get then you wont have any problems lol (oooo i just rembered where you can get a good brand new one for Ł50 )

valleys fiesta? ajc after three years you still dont know its valleys focus lol, I dont even know where my threads gone on here, NOoO dont say that or im going to have to pull the shity 1.7 out of there and fit my lovely 2.0 or your all going to kill me, Well only nevs is going to kill me the st will try to get away but wont lol
