cheers lads, I can get you sorted with your brakes @RichardJ
als must have liked my photo I took of the rear discs a lot, they've decided to copy it off my site , and use it for their own listing
I'd look at getting some better pads in the front, and picking some cheap 15" alloys with better tyres on , they come up often with Federals RSR , Nankang NS2R , R888 etc etc on second hand
Get some tuition booked for the morning, best money you'll spend
Take it steady and build up speed...
I can help with your brakes @blito2790 you can see some of the options on the RTR Parts website , and I can supply other options aswel
Get in touch if you want any help/info
Stop wasting your time on fleabay and deal with someone know these cars well and which parts fit
I have various options on the shelf depending on use and budget, get in touch and i'll get you sorted with your brakes @Johnty h
Get some DS1.11 in there Chris, they're great pads and wear really well mate. Now you're on a more track focused set up with sticky tyres etc, the DS1.11 will be more suited and cope with the heat better
The DS1.11 are becoming more and more popular and I only get really positive feedback for...
415mm end to end
I can supply pretty much everything for this conversion if you've not go them already
Discs, pads, pin kits, fluid, and should be able to supply the mounting bracket soon aswel @Joe Wootten
some better pads in the Evo would have made a difference for sure
vents/ducting is a cheap and effective way of getting air to the front brakes, simple and effective
A lot of track and race cars run oe fit calipers and standard size discs with uprated pads , they are benefits of putting 4 pots on but see how you get on with some decent pads in the oe calipers first
I can get you sorted with various brake options depending on budget, and how track focused...
tuition/seat time> brakes> suspension>tyres
Seat time with instruction is the most beneficial for me, having good brakes you're confident in helps you push on , and decent pads (I run the ds1.11) which have nice release characteristics suits my driving style
suspension is worth while , but...
no worries, not been asked about the bells before tbh but don't think they'd be an off the shelf part. If you can get hold of one I'm sure someone would be able to make them up
I can sort the pads no problem , few options depending on use
Yes , I've just sent Nathan the AP rotors for his jamsport kit bells .
I can also supply the vented 1 piece discs they use but will need redrilling/modifying to fit as they run an Avensis disc (got these before so know they correct ones)
I can sort discs and pads for those aswel James, let me know the dimensions and I'll know which discs. Pads on the shelf
Just sent @Nathan181 some Ferodo Racing pads and 8 groove AP Racing rotors
Been waiting to hear back to see what I can do price wise on these, but can't beat what's been quoted so far tbh. I've recently expanded the parts I can get hold of and but I'm not doing any sort of volume with the springs/coilovers (like I do with the brakes side of things) . This may change...
@bloke when used on track with sticky tyres and running over kerbs it puts extra strain on them , and only the Brembo/Renault bearings seem to last mate
@flebay Brembo and Renault use SNR , the early Mintex were unbranded and more recently sun iirc
^^ it's more to do with the life of the...
