Tyres, Brakes, Wheels Studs & Swivels! [Fitted] June 21, 2020June 22, 2020 admin New Michellin Cup Sport 2 tyres (215/45/17) fitted to the OEM 200 wheels, and thanks to Ktec for fitting the brakes (as per last post) and also replacing the lower swivel bearings too. Also supplying and fitting a set of their wheel studs, which I elected for due to thinking it would be good to replace the original 11 year old wheel bolts – but I was not expecting them to look so much better with a much more purposeful look to them. The car’s now stopping and steering better than it ever has, and the DS1.11 give a very pleasing squeal that only track focused pads really give off! It’s ready for a track day at Combe in a couple of weeks (6th July). – Hopefully it’ll go a darn sight better than the last Combe track day :O
New brakes February 28, 2020February 28, 2020 admin After the last trackday the brakes were found lacking, so time for a thorough upgrade. Pads came from George at https://www.roadtrackraceparts.com Discs came from Ian at https://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk Both very helpful and knowledgeable places. Front Discs: New Godspeed 330x28mm rotors with 6 groves and curved internal vanes. Fitting to the current Reyland bells I have, along with a new set of AP Racing disc bolts. Front Pads: Ferodo DS1.11 Read Pads: Ferodo DS2500 Fluid: Just literally had new RBF660 – so will re-bleed after fitting the new stuff.
