Might sound strage but i almost crashed the girlfriends saxo today because of the AP's on my car.

Was out in my car in the morning getting new track rod ends and the alignment done.

Went a good blast along the motorway etc, everything cool!

On the way to the shops this afternoon i was driving along in the saxo totally not thinking, came up to a bad bend and pushed the brakes....panic as for a second or so nothing happened

The brakes are fine on her car but compared to the AP's it feels like your not slowing down and i had left the braking too late and just about overshot the corner.

was a close one!

 

Same with my mums car!! I think the brakes are completely crap!!

When really I'm actually trying to stop it with a gentle press of my big toe, like in the cossie!!!

 

yeah the slightest pressure brings my car to a stop.

there is about one inch of dead travel in the saxo and i shat myself....only for a second mind

 

so you drive the saxo as fast as your cossie then...

 

I drove a mk2 escort last week with no servo,god that was shocking too

 

Hmmm, wonder's if he should ask for a ride in the cossie at the next PF meet

 

dodgy shit! must feel like such a come down driving a maxo after the cossie

 

oooo I can't wait to get the 6pots on the cossie now! standard brakes are so shite

 

Lol, sounds scary

 

You wana try driving my escort van that thing dont wana fookin stop

Twill be even worse when ive got my AP's fitted to the saph

 

the saxo is a good wee car! could out handle the old sierra anyday! lol

beach..watch out when you do get them brakes mate

its usually ok but think it was cos i had just jumped out my car and into the saxo.

was accelerating up a hill in the saxo this morning and could have sworn it was broken..nothing happened, well not much

 

I have still got the standard brakes on my stage 3 escos - so I am used to the heart stopping moments!

 

My x has a saxo and the brakes were utter shite compared to my cossy but on the other hand those brakes on the saxo were much beter than my escort van brakes.

Cant wait to fit the 6 pots to the saph

 

your brave
