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
