I was trollied, a big crease right on the swage line at the bottom of the rear 1/4, to take that out and a couple of others was £40.

As for the mounting kit any good engineering firm would knock one up easily. I'm lucky and have all the machining equipment, lathe, milling machine etc.What people must remember is if used very hard such as on track you need to go bigger. The number of pots a caliper has isnt the be all of...

You can get Porsche Brembo's cheaper than £500.

A big waste of £600 if you ask me. The calipers warp when used and the pistons stick. They are cheap for a reason.

No, stainless changes colour like that due to heat. By definition you wouldnt be able to see penetration from the surface. They will have added sections because the bender they have cannot cope with the tight radii needed. I have built stainless exhauats before ;)

They will work as good as std ones from cold if you use a DS2500 or 1144 type pad.

Rubbish, you can only see discolouration due to the heat.

They are over-expensive and very prone to leaking from what i've heard unless things have improved recently. I believe lots had them on scoobynet but got fed up with them rattling and leaking meaning very frequent overhauls and that is on road cars. I was positively warned off them when buying...

AP's are around £1200-1500. The web is a wonderful thing do a search for ap racing.

How can you comment on the quality of the welds from a piccy like that? you cant even see them!

Whats the point? with the price of 172's its just not worth it.

My guess would be low fluid.

If you think the 205 gti was good you should have sampled a Alfasud Ti it would p155 all over the pug.

Never a popular answer but, its more likely that you need to learn how to drive.

AP racing, Alcon or Brembo, there all fit and forget and quality items and guaranteed to fit and work correctly, you get what you pay for. You dont need a bigger clue, do you?

I waited approx 12 weeks for parts to turn up, they were promised to be no more than a week! The guy has a bad attitiude to customer service.

Increase the castor angle at the front this will acheive more negative camber on turn but still give you good tyre life.

It sounds normal to me. Its just the way lumpy cams work.

I got one online for £20, i stuck it where the clear square is near the bottom of the front screen and it works great no need to run it through the car.

You will change them due to corrosion not wear. In fact In all the years of car ownership i have only ever changed rear discs due to corrosion.

Regardless of mods they are a bodge. When the ecu is mapped it is mapped throughout the rev range for a given (std) fuel pressure. If you then increase your fuel pressure to say gain a few bhp top end after and exhaust and inlet mods your car will overfuel low end. Its not a proportional...

They are a bodge and will make the car run rich at most points of the rev range. A remap of the ECU is the only correct way to obtain the correct fuelling.

With race pads i reckon they would.

Mintex: M1144: Clean discs with brake cleaner or other approved solvent. Fit your new Mintex C-Tech Racing Pads Apply 2-3 light applications of the brakes at 30mph down to 0mph Apply 3-4 steady applications of the brakes at 70mph down to 30mph Leave as long as possible to cool down. They...

Just for reference discs are made from cast iron not steel ;)

Also dont bother with all these no-make alloy calipers, stick with AP, Brembo, Alcon, Wilwood. If you dont you will struggle for spares such as seals etc if needed, the best option is to get some of of another road car that has brembo's.
