Milk bottle tops

[db484bhpv8]

After some further ridicule from my TVR drag racing friends at Shakey last weekend i have decided to finally get round to upgrading the front brakes. My standard discs look puny behind the 17" SP12s. They perform perfectly ok on the road but did struggle hauling the car down from 176 at Elvington last year.

After advice from Simon (Sardonicus) i think i will be getting reconditioned Brembo 4 pots and will run standard Focus RS 324mm discs and standard pads.

I will only need that if i start hitting 150+ terminals. Better get one ordered for next season

Good call Derek, usefull for when you join us on the twisty bits.

Seriously though, if I fit a turbo, will I need a parachute?.........

To put into perspective.
Brummmie hits 133 in the mighty Cerbera.... over 600 bhp.
A lot of dedicated hot rods and such can hit 140 in 10 seconds with around the same power.
To hit 150 in the 1/4 mile would mean a low 9 second run. Need some serious traction and over 1000 bhp at least I reckon.

Naturally I wasn't serious about the chute!

We can but dream...........

I know.... maybe Neal may need a chute once the gremlins are sorted and the boost turned up

Thanks guys i will get the kit ordered.
May stick with standard discs and pads for now.
Sure the new set up will be much better than the tired standard stuff.

So just to confirm this kit will fit before i commit to buying....
