Well I managed to always have old corsas that passed mot's then I go out and buy a newer car and it fails
Anyway turned out it had a seized caliper on the rear and one of the rear disks was excessivly worn on the inside. So with my wallet £300 lighter I have new rear disks and pads as well as 12 months MOT
It least they look nice
Now the essentials are out of the way I can start on my toys
Looking at quite a bit of track action next year so my to do list is currently in this order:
Goodridge braided lines all round
Fedoro ds2500 pads
Gruppe M induction kit or ITG maxogen induction kit
Then after I have had a play on the track I may get an LSD if I am feeling flush

Did you not fancy paying a bit extra for uprated? (I'm presuming they're not uprated as you didn't mention it)
Very nice, good choice of mods and I bet you are looking forwards to getting it on track

From what I have heard standard disks are good enough for the rear what ever you are doing. Only things I am planning on going to the brakes are federo 2500 front pads and braided hoses as said.
And yer I might have just paid a deposit for a day at snetterton so I am indeed looking forward to the track action

Ah fair enough you just looking to upgrade the fronts only or just upgrade the pads all round?

Nice Gav
Only need the front upraing tbh as the rears do reletively littel braking any way so the benfit will be negligible.
As for air boxes the ITG maxogen is a superb bit of kit I wanted one real bad for the Clio.
Also I would maybe look at putting in a centre box as I feel it is sacrifcing the torque figure.

I was only going to get the rears done as they are included in a group buy that I am planning on going in for.
Centre box is just a matter of waiting for one to come up for sale as is the air box. No point buying new as I am in no rush.
