I have a pair of powerlite 4 pots for the frot of mine with 35mm pistons for the front of mine, undecided on the rear yet!
Have you used these polymatrix pads before?

The Poly A's are the hottest extreme ones they do. You would expect them to be rubbish when cold but they are just fine.
Go for the same 4 pots on the rear with handbrake mech built in.

Yep, I switched to them in mine. Admitedley I run a VERY light front brake setup so had fading problems. Ive given them a fair beating with the Polymatrix and they seemed OK but really need a long track session where I am suspecting I will need to go bigger.

Eric the Monster Trucks rocks!!!!
I have Stus LandRover with a 97ft lift and silly tyres and no steering WHATSOEVER!!!
It is without any shadow of a doubt the most dangerous vehicle I have ever driven!!!!
It has a V8 on a Carb the Size of Brazil and full race exhaust... so it goes and sounds like something out of Days of Thunder but has the steering response of an Aircraft carrier...
and if you lift off to sharply off the LOUD pedal... (even if you are going in a straightline) it does big scary Tankslappers.
So to conclude. I love Eric the monster truck
and he has a spade in the back... and that makes me feel very manly

LOL
I drove Eric when Stu's sister was moving house and it needed moving.
The V8 engine in fine fettle and working well
Steering, kind of is there, ish
Brakes, not really no
Its just good that if you have a crash, it will probably only be whoever you hit that dies, so it doesnt really matter

Its a 90 originally a 2.25 but I threw that away and fitted the V8.
3.5 Sweet fresh built V8 with Eidelbrock Inlet and Weber 500 Carb. Full stainless tubular headers and system so sounds lovely and goes ok too.
Other than that it has a few bolt on extra guards, roof rack, lots of lights, 2 inch lift kit and some chunky BF Goodrich All Terrains.
Eric is 25 years old this year too and still on its original paint!!! Ive had it for about 8 years now and its just one of those cars you never grow tires of. Great fun to drive and really hand to throw all your cack in or lend to your mates!!
Woould certainly benefit from a couple of T3's gently blowing through it chip.....................

A mate of mine is rebuilding a 90 defender on a brand new chassis. Hes got an audi 4.2l ABZ motor lying in the shed to go in it.
That should be interesting! 300bhp and less wheelbase than a nova

When turbo'd, they make SO much torque lower down, but they die on their arse at higher rpm as they just cant breathe well enough on the stock head/cams
Would be perfect for Eric though!

naa, he considered going for the 100 inch rangey chassis, but he found a cheap 90 chassis brand new and galvanised and then convinced me to tow his mates shonky trailer behind his dads even shonkier transit van to birmingham and back in a day!
nova wheelbase is 92.2

Sorry about the curly fries. I took as much rubbish out after our roadtrip as I could see. What else do you do for 7 hours in a truck though apart from eat fast food, yorkies and drink coffee?? I was close to starting on the B&H you left in there at one point!!!
Truck was cool though. Perfect for the job we had to get done and it drives and tows really nice too. Thanks!!!
The flashing lights were very cool! Our favourite part! Tried the CB too but could not work out how to switch it on.
Stu
Lee, get some pictures up of the EVO 2 build before I start EVO 3 this weekend!!!
