nope .. he is doing a nice deal on vauxhall brakes ..



Reyland Motorsport have developed this new brake conversion for Vauxhall Nova, Corsa, Tigra and Astra owners looking for a top quality front brake conversion at a price that wont break the bank.

The calipers are modified 4-pot AP Racing items which bolt straight to the hub carrier, requiring no adapting bracket. The caliper pistons are fully dirt and dust shielded meaning a long life and no need for regular and costly servicing.

The 2-piece grooved discs are 300mm in diameter and have been developed by Reyland to ensure high performance in both road and track day conditions.

The kit comprises two discs, two calipers, brake pads and all bolts/fittings required to carry out the complete conversion.

Price: £675 plus P&P

how is the brake balance after fitting 330mm 4pt Ap frondt and std rear.

 

i have 330mm discs with std 2wd 4 piston calipers on mine, with std rears. judging by the amount of brake dust on my rear wheels, the rears are still doing something

however, my car is a bit of a bastard child. i fitted 2wd cosworth parts to a 4x4 kombi shell, and it has no pressure reducer in the rear brake line, as it used to have self levelling rear suspension. the balance seems fine, if maybe a little biased towards the front, but that's better than the other way around.

if i wanted more on the rear, i could upgrade to 4x4 parts.

 

i've got ap' 4 pot's and 330 mil disc's on 2wd saff had no prob's at all.
get ap's they r a class.

 

what about price on new pads or discs for the 330mm AP's?

 

Personally I dont see the point in putting a set of AP brakes worth £1500+ on an RS2000 that has an exhaust and a drilled airbox, the brakes will be worth more than the car ffs.

And before you spit your dummy mr wilson i dont mean that rudely!

 

...well Spadge reckons std are as good as AP 4 pots and focus discs

Back to reality...

I thought std 2wd brakes were good then i tried AP 4pots with the Focus discs..unbeleivable ...now run 6pots and 355's off Rainbird/Reyland and they are stupendous

 

Yea but the point being surely with a car thats basically standard a set of AP's arent needed, but each to their own!

 

...i cant beleive i am gonna say this But the better brakes you can have you need them..a std car comes out with whats legally required...and you can never have enuff braking.

 

bosch man thats the first sensible thing I have said you say for years, you ok??? what are 6 pots like compared to 4's? I've only ever driven cars with 4 pots but I have a set of 6 pots sat in my bedroom waiting for a car

 

Yeah but to be honest do you actually think i'm going to listen to what you have to say? Its not like you have a clue what you are talking about.

The car is driven hard, so i'm putting really good brakes on it. Its also to future proof it as i plan to get an engine built that is far from standard.

I wanted to know how good the brakes will be and going by what nearly everyone says they willbe a good investment.

 

Amazing stuff

 

Sorry one more question, but is there an issue fitting AP's under O.Z. rims? I read on here someone had problems fitting them under either super t's (old style ones) or super leggeras? I'm probably going to get RS 7 spokes, but i do have the option of a set of super T's too.

 

mine are under super legg's (17's) but its gonna depend on your offset

 

i run ap 6 pots and 380mm rotors

braking is immense!

 

Its either 35 or 37 - S2 RS turbo fitment whatever that is lol

 

 

"only" 6 pots...they are so last year

 

Put your dummy back in ffs! Your car is standard apart from an exhaust, there is no need for AP brakes.

With your "Apparent" engine plans you still wont need AP brakes, having spoken to Mr Gault about your engine he wont build over 200bhp for road use as he says there is no point, so even then AP wont be needed. This isnt a dig so get off your high horse. Uprated brakes yes maybe but no need for spending that amount of money on "APs".

And as far as i was aware this was a message board where people can post opinions, ive posted mine, deal with it and put your dummy back in!

 

How do you know there is no need for APs? Please i'd like to know how you know? Also having spoken to several people including Gault himself, i should be looking at around 220 bhp with what i have planned.

Also why the hell are you talking to him about me? You have a sad little life, where you have to get involved in everyone elses business.

LOL

1. Where are your carbon fibre splitter and hockey sticks?
2. Throttle bodies for your dads car?
3. Focus RS that you've 'bought' at least twice
4. White Cossie you were selling, but oh you don't actually own it

The list goes on. You are the king of lies, now FUCK OFF and stop disrupting what is an otherwise informative thread.

 

Oh dear, put the dummy back in, you really need to sort your life out...

Gault brought up your name not myself, it was like you had all this "engine work" planned for your rs turbo and did you ever do anything to it? yeah you did i suppose, fix it everyweek.

1. Ordered the Carbon Fibre hockey sticks off Mike Rainbird ages ago, but didnt have the money the week they arrived, so he let them go onto the next person in the queue.
2. Throttle bodies? No1 ever said they were getting throttle bodies.
3. Focus RS, was an idea and still is. But i have to get the escort sold first, and as it isnt sold then there isnt a focus.
4. White cossie was "Grant" off here, he was going to swap mine for his white one, which in the end i turned down, but i was gauging interest to see if anyone would rather a white one than mine.

your one of these all talk people, also threatened to kill me in a pm which i found highly amusing, saw him about a week later and he kept his distance, funny that, Grow up!

 

I sense a bit of friction between you two

I would say if you have the money get the biggest brakes you can afford and you cannot go wrong with AP's

 

Yeah he is a ballbag who thinks he knows everything about fords, and RS's...I know fuck all but try to give helpful advice where i can, and he does nothing but try to make a big deal out of everything.

 

Put the handbags away ladies and get back to the brakes. i think you should get them and then i can see if i want them on my next project.

 

Anyway fuck this, im done with this "internet fighting" as its very

I tried to give my opinion and you shoot me down, typical...

 

RS turbo engine work? Wasn't me lol! I didn't even know him when i had it? Gibbo/Dunlop spoke to him about it, not me. I fact i think i'll ring him tomorrow just to see how much shite you are talking.

I don't understand why you think my turbo was broken every week? It had 3 problems when i owned it

-wire to the ECU plug came loose - hardly major
-gearbox went and it took ages to sort due to the supossed expert not being able to fix it, resulting in me having to get one from Rapidford.
-turbo stud broke - entirely my fault for messing around with the exhaust.

It was a tighter car than G440 - fact. In fact Joat was going to buy the Red one if Rab didn't!!

Your arguments are getting old skiman, i've heard them so many times before. At the end of the day as much as you deny it and argue against it, everyone thats knows you, knows exactly what you are like, even your dad does lol.

 

 

 

Egale

the reason why you could feel the back end of the car lift up thats because your front suspension is too soft nothing to do with your brakes
