Hi Guys,

Not a resto but a couple of mods I've done recently. After having MAJOR problems with a Brembo front brake set-up on my RST I eventually had to buy another set of new brakes

325 x 28 mm Hy-Spec discs + Alloy 4 pot calipers and Mintex Pads - Retails at aprox £1050 !! [Although I bought them 2nd hand after covering approx 2500 miles].

I also put a pair of brand new from Ford drive flanges and bearings.

Fitted my MEF Adjustable TCA's and Stud Conversion from APTuning

Couple of them in action:

 

Looks spot on John

I'll have to organise a visit up your way soon, ain't seen you guys for ages!"

 

Looks good m8,nice bike too

 

look huge, they really fill out them alloys

 

Get yourself up Mike! Would be good to see you! Me and a mate are going to Germany in two weeks time to the German WRC and the Ring!!

 

what brembo's did you have and what issues were you having?

 

Yes i,d like to know that as well.

 

The post was a touch mis-leadng.....I had problems with brake judder but it was more than likely caused by excessive run-out on the hubs rather than the disc/calipers.

 

ah, i have the 305mm brembo / red-dot setup and had problems with judder got the discs skimmed and hub flanges replaced and issue was solved

but i wanna get some better pads at some point and don't know where to start

 

 

Very nice mate

 

Hi John nice to see them getting used mate

 

Thanks for the bargain on them

 

Saw this and shit myself lol


I have the brembo 4 pots!


Whats the Hi-spec like John?

 

Looks good John

 

BREMBO 4 POTS OF FOCUS RS ON MINE.NO PROBLEMS YET.








A pity you didn,t get much for your old one,s on E-BAY John

 

like that alot, always admired your motor John

 

Odd...I was quite happy with what I got for them on E-Bay

Radders......The Hy-Spec have been awesome so far I know they get some stick from different peeps but I can honestly say I am amazed at the build quality!! I mean look at the quality of the CNC machined mounting bracket and then look at that in comparison to the bits of steel plate with nuts welded to it some people use to mount there calipers!

They fitted like a dream...straight on no mods needed! The way it should be!!

Performed well on track although I think it needs a slightly better pad than the Mintx 1144's as I did get a touch of pad fade towards the end of the session [going to try DS2500's next ]

Overall

n.b. And I only paid £440 for them

 

Fair one



Ive never liked the Gold Hi-Spec... But the black looks good

And i cant comment on how they are as i dont know!

Need to get on with my brakes as soon as my shells done


Keeping the Brembos though!

 

Hows your shell comingon? Though it might have been done by now! I must admit I have been toying with the idea of a RWD conversion for a number of months!!

Is Danny doing your cage at the same time?

You'll have to take me for a passenger session in yours to try and convince me!!

 

You can have a go matey



she needed some repairs, so that took some of my cash up that was handed over...

Going up in the morning to hand some more

Cage is being built into the suspension


So yes, all being done

 

Looking forward to seeing it.

Are you having all new tunnels etc... Rather than Sierra bits welded in [this method has never really appealed to me!!]

 

Danny almost knocked me out when i askedhow he was gonna do it and i mentioned sierra floor



All custom parts and all fabricated by Danny B

 

 

 

glad to hear your happy mate cos as you know i never even used them

 

Wicked John, glad you kept the car mate!

 

when you gona sell it

 

Make me an offer

Nah....think I'm gonna keep it now although I've only used it once this year

Tend to be out on this too much:

 

if you want me to i will
