Looks mainly, I realise it will make very little difference with rear discs, but I can't stand having drums behind motorsport wheels. It's so poverty.

Meant to be getting them back this Friday. A bit last minute for my liking considering I gave it to them 2 Thursdays ago. They only just got the paint today...but I just damn well hope they come in time.

Refurbed! Scuffed them, and it annoyed me.

Do you reckon standard Focus RS discs and pads will be good? Been offered a nice full set for £300 and I'm very tempted. My original plan was to go uprated with Ferodo pads but standard brakes are meant to be awesome on the RS. Was just wondering with fade etc, although the Fiesta weighs alot less. Might just go for it.

Still waiting for my MO's to come back from the longest refurb in history. A paint matching company that matched them completely the wrong colour, great company

.

In the mean time scouring eBay for something to buy, came across these Focus RS Calipers, Discs & Pads freshly painted in Magnum Grey, perfect! Got them on their way to me once I sort a courier. Should sit nicely under the 17's.

And bought a new rear wiper to replace the cheap looking metal one.

Hopefully start having updates to do with the ST engine soon, still doing some research on parts at the moment.

Well they arrived, and I couldn't be happier!

I remember thinking the ST discs were massive, now look at them!

These wheels won't be staying, mostly because they won't fit over the brakes

And behind the MO's

Cannot wait! Need some braided lines and a bracket to make them fit and they'll be going on once the MO's are back.

Also found some pics of me on track the other day!

Incase anybody hasn't seen them, the videos:

Cannot wait mate, they're enormous!

Yep I will miss the fact that everybody turns their heads when you drive down the high street but it was a good laugh, I love the MO's too much though. Might get them done pink and green

Cheers mate, whereabouts you from?

Haha, that was borrowed. Basically I booked on and forgot you needed to wear long sleeves and as it was so hot I hadn't brought a jumper. So I was basically running around trying to find somebody I knew 10 minutes before my session. Found a bloke I hadn't seen for about 3 years "Hi mate how you doing? (before he could answer) have you got a jumper I can borrow?" then gave it back 3 hours later lol

Yeah that's what the Yamaha jumper was, a fleece, such a nice guy I am, borrowing basically a random persons jumper, sweating into it and giving it back.

Can't say I've seen it about, I'll keep an eye out though!
