As the title of the thread says, this is on a budget. I want to uprate the discs at some point but havent got the spare cash at the moment. The brakes are s**t loads better than they were before hand so all is good at the moment.
If i experience massive brake fade after my track day i may...
If its got the history to back the mileage then it should be fine. My old 182 had 85k on the clock when i sold it and it was probably the most reliable car i owned
Had MOT today, needed a few bits and pieces to pass
- Brake imbalance by 65%!! That explains the brakes pulling to the left
- Washers not working
So had new discs and pads all round. Just went for the OE stuff as its 1/3 of the price of uprated bits
New washer pump fitted as well, now I...
hit the nail on the head i think
i'm gunna get my CBT under me belt and get a motorbike to daily useage and keep the car purely for track days :)

havent got any of the standard parts left, sold them all. i never planned to sell so quickly and always thought the car would get broken for parts at the end anyway
should have done mate, although i do fancy something turbo'd again. I do like the speed of the 172 stripped out but just dont...
Always wanted to build a track car and having finally done it, i'm not sure its what i was hoping for.
Miss having the creature comforts, hate all the rattles and hate having to rev the nuts off the car to get any sort of power
Prefered my old 182 but as i've spent so much money on this car...
