I'd enquire... except I've only just got LAST MONTH'S Sprint..! 
Obviously pissed off someone at the TVRCC or the post office...
its in the back of last months too mate. not sure when the first ad went in but I only noticed it recently.
I'll have a read tonight then...
I enquired and David told me that he is currently reserching a cheaper way of doing it using Sierra bits.
He has promised to come back to me quite soon and has also suggested that he would like to use my car as a "Guinea Pig" as long as I let you guys know of the results.
Hopefully have some rear disks and more info soon.

The bits are from a Sierra anyway e.g hubs, discs, callipers etc so not sure that there will be any saving. Main problem is the bits were only fitted to a select few sierras and these are as rare as the proverbial as they say.
As the rear brakes do very little in the overall scheme of things, it is not something that would be that high on my list... unless I had real humoungous brakes on the front.

agreed .. I really don't see the rasoning for going for the disc conversion, I've never seen the drum brakes fade anyway unless you're using incredibly poor shoes in there. Drum brakes are actually *more* effective than disc brakes as the mean radius is futher outboard from the wheel centre, so increasing the effective leverage ratio of the brake components. W
What drum brakes are very bad at is dissipating heat after prolonged hard applications, but eh S rear brakes never do enough work to make that an issue ..
IMO you're much better off upgrading the front brakes and leaving the rears well alone.

Joolz - that would be the first step but just enquiring about the discs for the next step. The step after that involves turbos and Nos so suspension/brakes the first enquiries.
Can you mail me a price for the "upgrade" that Psychobert is still waiting to fit?
