    that is Madda's mx5 and isn't exactly slow.

    Several reasons I didn't get the 12J's. Tyre cost, having to run a big stretch and lots of camber or running over fenders, non of which I wanted.

    Anyway, a quick photo from today......these brakes are brilliant and I've hardly touched the pedal so far, can't wait til they are all bedded in

    I did that at Mallory this year but because the a GT30 isn't as responsive I couldn't power out of it quick enough and span it

    Good save though

    If your not spinning then you just aren't pushing hard enough. It's all part of the learning curve isn't it . I can't wait to get on track again .

    Yeah, my rear arch's are in good condition so want to leave them as they are for now.

    There were some pictures of them a few pages back .

    Yesterday me and Steve fitted the new K-Sport brakes, re-fitted the exhaust with some new decat pipe gaskets, did an oil change and had a good laugh doing it all .

    Fitting the K-Sports was pretty easy too. The only bit that took time was getting the shims right for the mounting bracket spacing. Turns one 1 0.25mm shim got the disk in the dead centre

    Here's some photo's from the day. Big thanks to Steve for all the help, being able to use his ramp made this job so much easier I think.

































    Next up will either be getting the nistune fitted or uprated engine mounts as well as wirebrushing the under side of the car and giving it a nice coat of underseal .

    There's at least 2mm clearance of the brakes so maybe I should get some 358's lol.

    As for stopping, the brake pedal is instant, only have to touch it lightly for it to start slowing the car down. As for actual braking power, I have no idea as I'm still bedding them in and that will take a few weeks.

    You just replacing all your brakes or are you upgrading?

    Do they just need a gentle bedding in then?

    Upgrading, have a flick through my project thread

    Basically keeping stock calipers and disc size but got Dixcel carbon discs and Z Type pads all round. DMS used the same set up on their TA DC2 with fair success so it should be fine for my needs

    The bed in procedure is quite aggressive though
