Thanks Rag- if you have a link to the adaptor, that would be good.

Yes, it's that one. I have also an extra one, a replica (cheaper).
It's black, but exactly the same. Bought it before got the dump valve (included the adapter).

I'm bored, can't figure out what to mod next. Turbo-upgrade is out of question money- and timewise, for now.

[WTF]

Chrome wrap

Chrome wrap

Lol or then I'll imitate you and get the R3 decal kit

[Chris_Blue]

You upgraded the brakes Rag?
Nice big set of sixpots?

[Ragnarok]

Racing has 4 piston Brembos, is there something better?

[Jamie@SPTuning]

I can have your 4 pots then

[Chris_Blue]

Have a look at the TAROX website

Thanks, seems expensive

[colganraz]

Forge sell a big brake kit but its expensive

I am going to ask the obvious question:

Why would you want Bigger heavier brakes on your road car for nothing more than cruising and the odd spirited drive ?

Surely just a simple upgrade of brake pad is more than adequate, even for track days too.

The several times Ive been round the track, the brakes almost disappeared

And it happened once too, on a long haul trip up t'North

So the answer - Safety (Why compromise it)

So the answer - Safety (Why compromise it)

Safety is paramount, however, safety need not be compromised simply by retaining the OEM brake assembly, all that is necessary is understanding why we encounter brake fade, and how easily we can work with the heat generated and retained within the OEM brake assembly.

Is it the OEM brake disc that needs changing for a Bigger (heavier) vented, surface grooved and cross drilled disk to remove the excessive generated heat ?

Or the OEM brake pad compound which simply needs replacing with a more heat resistance compound, to work with the excessive heat generated ?

When you purchase a Big brake kit, what exactly are you getting ?

A larger surface area brake disc (heavier too) that has better capability disspating heat.

And a brake pad compound which needs heat to be efficient.

Hmmm can you see the problem now ?

You've a brake disc which dissipates heat efficiently, and a brake pad compound that needs heat to be efficient.

As the OEM brake disc heat soaks, then all you need for efficient safe braking is, a brake pad compound to work with the generated heat as produced and retained from the OEM brake disc, furthermore a simple change of brake fluid will furthermore enhance the brake efficiency from excessive radiant heat, as will braided hose lines too, quite simple really when you think about it.

Lastly, remember, no matter how efficient your brakes are, their efficiency is limited by the efficiency from your chosen tyres available grip to the road/track surface !!

I traded in my car today so the project for this Racing is closed on my behalf
