Dom, at least AJ stuck to his word and actually took his car on track. It was a big surprise mind!

Top stuff you going AJ

I'm going in February next year And i can't wait

You coming back for a second helping then? Ross said he would be up for it but i don't see it happening really

Don't really see the problem as it is cheap as chips

Alex - Why in the first picture is Rainbird bending over and Charlie having a right old look at his arse

Brembo's are cool but the pedal felt abit spongy towards the end - im gonna try some propper brake fluid (srf is it)?? to see if that makes a difference.

Same with my Focus. Brakes didn't really like Bedford. I'm thinking what's the point in trying different fluid, hoses and pads to not really solve the problem, wasted money. My wallet is thinking otherwise though!

Porkie took my car out on track & reckons that the brakes are upto the job but need slight tweeking as in fluid etc.
I'll try that before i pay out the best part of Ł1600 on a set of AP's
