    yummy!! well, i would love to meetup and go over your stock hatch..... maybe a better find would be the XR2 challendge as the rules are less stringent and youll get more for your money. i would stick with ford.....so much easier to get track ready and more parts to buy off the shelf...

    172 discs and pads

    max deceleration will eventually be down to the adheision limits of the tyre...... if you fit discs as big as the wheel and 20 pot calipers....itll still lock at the same point.

    My Cup has finally turned up...

    it would be a manufacturing fault.....all it can be....the failure of a part. why did it take you 2 days to go to the garage!! and if your gasket failed, you would of lost oil and water (the thick smoke) and the engine should be severly damaged with excess heat and no lubrication.....hence...
