Sounds like pad vibration to me , maybe the calipers have some wear in them where the pads slide in , apply some ceratec paste along the ends of the pads , and put a circle of it where the pistons touch , it's a high temp paste that goes off slightly holding the pads firmer in the calipers ...

Pistons were poor quality and break the ringland , if you change the pistons most had no issues , just a pain to have to do that , the one above would be fine as they rebuild the engine with Cosworth pistons

Do you have a roll cage ? If you use a Hans device , cross the belts over before they go through the seats , it'll stop the belt slipping off the hans in a bump , we do in the rally cars

When fitting new discs and pads , you must ALWAYS go with the disc bedding in not the pad , yes race pads are bedded in very aggressively , with no downsides , discs must be bedded in and heat cured or they will fail prematurely , we recommend 250-300 miles of A&B road driving , and then some...

Hi Maybe you can check , as far as i'm aware the kits Reyland offer are not AP discs , they are there own , machined from other road car discs , so when you take into account the Godspeed are proper heat treated curved vane race discs , and are actually £100 cheaper , it certainly makes the...

Hi Just to correct you , we make a special curved vane race disc for this applications , yes it's 330mm x 28mm , but with a pad width area of 62mm , so works perfectly with the Meg 3 calipers and pads Cheers Ian

wow didn't realise it was so long ago I added to my thread ! Still have the car for now although it is for sale as I bought another rally car , is now fitted with a new Pure motorsport engine , and Sadev ST75 gearbox , along with a host of other parts , had it mapped by Sandy Brown and goes very...

The guy who makes the bodykits does them , I have one on order (y)

Don't know , I bought it from West Wales , and was a standard white car when I had it

I was big into fords back in the day , had an Escort Cosworth as my last ford , and agree they weren't all that , after a tune by MA developments to around 350hp , new suspension , an exhaust change to take all the cats off , it was soooo laggy , better brakes , they have 1 pot calipers on the...

still have my car , has had an engine rebuild at Pure , and now has a new ST75 sadev fitted , needs a little finishing touches and a mapping session

From what I remember from back in the day, these engines were restricted to 8500 revs , and the nissan had the most powerful engine at 316hp , bloody good going back then

Do you run a servo on yours , when I first put the AP kit on mine it was either on or off , no feel in between , so I disconnected the servo and ran it like that ever since I rallied it , needed a good push to lock up , but plenty of feel before it did lock up
