I’ve not had any box issues beyond the need to rebuild the first time, surprisingly! I think if you go in principally for the fun angle then you want be disappointed, it def is more fun! Seat of the pants the straightline pace feels quicker, which is what counts. There was a foreign guy on the...

:tearsofjoy: tbf that's mostly right!! Hell even my daily I blew the engine on (well head gasket!) and had an engine swap! Just ordered it's replacement so better not blow that up when it gets here:sweatsmile: 021 FD + 003 ratios is not for the faint of heart. As a pure fun car/track car it's...

Reyland use a standard APRacing PCD so I assumed they would, that also means it’s possible to fit APs too. Though about £750 for them I got quoted! I went Godspeed rotors as they do a better version with curved interval vanes, which helps to dispel the air. Reylands are all straight, how much...

So I eventually made a decision on the brakes! Took me long enough, but I went in the end with brand new red Brembo’s from Renault and new black floating bells. I’ve booked a couple of dates at Silverstone (12th Nov, 5th Dec), so see how it fares soon enough! That means the new brakes are...

I think either setup would do, so I guess it depends if I want to keep with gold coloured bells or not then! Which I think I do, and the few hundred saved would go part towards the Jenvey DBW module

yeah pretty much ruined the day tbh. Thinking back i've def run successful days on the fixed rotors (and yellow stuff) - but the day earlier this year at Snett as mentioned on fixed/yellows was not good :\ Perhaps sticking caliper pistons over heating everything?! Be wise to factor in that...

Yeah I get that but I can't believe that the 330mm floating setup wouldn't be better than HC's, so if it's £80 for HC's and £350 for me to convert to floating - then it's only an extra £280 to run the bigger discs. There's no doubt the DS1.11 is a fussy twat of a pad based on everything I've...

Yeah I had no problem with stock tyres, discs and only Yellowstuff pads (plus fluid) back in the early days of this car! I just don't want to revert as it's a backwards step (even though it was more succeful!). It has to be possible to run a nicer looking bigger 330mm discs and a decent pad...

No exact opposite. I suspect it's when the brakes get too hot and it's the point the rotor and the bell are expanding at a different rate. Which is what floating is supposed to mitigate. Driving on the road always perfect what ever the weather (not that I use it in the rain). Driving the first...

Cheers, my rotors have been replaced with Godspeed with curved internal vanes. These are interchangeable between the fixed and floating bells so I can reuse them no probs. (I guess I need to check ktec fitted them the right way around though). In theory you could probably machine my bells to...

I think the common factor is the discs, given I've run 2 different compounds and had the same problem now. Worse on the DS1.11, but given the ability to simply put more heat in to the rotors then it's exacerbating the underlying problem, and I think attributing the DS1.11 outright is a red...

Hmm, well despite a full brake overhaul another frustrating track day the other month. Last track day the brakes were grumbly underfoot, I put it down to yellow stuff pads which can be hit or miss (although always been decent for me). So replaced the rotor section with Godspeed 6 groove items...

About a grand. Much longer than the oem manifold so you'll need to chop the centre up. Also the divide between the 4-2 and 2-1 section is bolted so you need to add some form of movement at the system joint. I ran for about 4 years a sprung flange (using the mk2 clio parts), but tbh that always...

Not typically and the filter itself is actually sat quite far back from the holes which is probably why (it's about directly where the slam panel would normally be) so it's not been an issue in light rain when left a couple of times - but normally it's inside a Cair-o-port in the garage. I've...

A little update after the track day at Snetterton on the 25th. Short version, made it there, tracked all day with no engine or noise issues, came home. However it was certainly a difficult day. I knew going there my AD08R were not perfect, the 2 on the rear had plenty of life but the 2 on the...

£600 for rotors is quite steep I think, especially when it's arguably not needed. If these cars absolutely needed them then you accept you're over the barrel... But I think the cheaper options are worth exploring. Kamracing resell godspeed, they have rotors only listed at £295, so Def more...

I didn't fit mine on its own so can't judge in isolation, but my car now with the light pulley too, well you can pull off on clutch alone and it doesn't feel close to stalling (well once the thing is warm, my cold start right now is quite bad!). The main criticism I've seen leveid at light fly's...

Ah nice one cheers. I reckon that's a bit lower than where I'm at now. I could lose some height, maybe a few cm's - but I think it looks based on the pic that they might be a touch low for my liking? Easy enough to use a bit of box section to raise things, or maybe even copy the side mounts but...

Seat belt, hmm not given much thought about that actually, but thinking on the fly... I would think weld a small additional say 2mm plate for strength to the inside of the side mount and drill a hole right through the mount and plate. Then weld a captive nut on the inside and lastly just flat...

@temeeo oh also which side mounts are you using (they Rentune ones?) and how's the height in relation to the stock CS height? At the moment I've got Madeno lowered frame on the CS which is about 4 or 5cm lower and probably about spot on. I know my endeavour with the Apex I tried both the OMP and...
