Re: best brake pads?
Not currently, whilst very popular in the USA they don't seem to have caught on much over here. 90% of my pads are for stock production calipers. I do a small range for race calipers, but to be honest, those using expensive lightweight dedicated race calipers want and need specialist race compound p...

Re: best brake pads?
Thanks for the kind words about the pads, I have been trying to get a trader account for months on here and have all but given up. Was promised a slot and I was happy to pay, but things just fizzled out. I do my pads for a wide range of cars including the current shape Nissan GTR which I have just t...

I am at SY13 2BT and have a workshop at my home, just south of Whitchurch. I am one hour from St...

Re: Anglesey, black tubby & a red n/a
Yes, that black T top did go well, on stock brakes too, from what I remember.
I was giving my old Skyline GTS-t an airing in Wales.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: [All] [Generic] Who is running a turbo 4-AGE engine??
I have resumed work on this. I was looking at the cams the other month and thought they seemed to have a hell of a lot of duration, so took them out and had them checked. Kent had sent me the wrong profiles.... I was a bit miffed to say the least, as it was all shimmed up and ready to time. Anyway, ...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Are Gen 1 and Gen 2 3S-GTE head, inlet and turbo manifold gaskets the same?
As title, I need a stock head, intake manifold and turbo manifold gasket for an engine here, but I can't recall if it's from a Gen 1 or 2 car.
If they are the same I need one of each please, cheap as chips
Can even arrange collection by courier after payment.
All the best.
Anyone???

Re: [All] [Generic] Who is running a turbo 4-AGE engine??
Hi, been a bit sidetracked with work and another couple of engines I am messing with. I managed to finish the head the other day and shim it all up so once I have made an oil restrictor for the block to head oil feed it can go back on the block. I have worked out that a 50 thou inch Cometic head gas...

After finishing a couple of other projects before the bad weather I should be back on track with this build.

Re: Exclusive MR2 Track Day Weekender - 17/18 Oct
They have picked up a lot of rubber marbles on the way back in.
They also don't look like they have been getting up to operating temperature, but it was a cold day and the surface had very low grip as it was very dirty and dusty.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: Exclusive MR2 Track Day Weekender - 17/18 Oct
Chris, are you still making brake pads? I remember hearing really good things about them a numbe rof years ago - when you had a white Skyline on the old circuit. I am doing them for a big range now, in both race and fast road compounds, not just Supras and Skylines. If you want MR2 pads just e-mail...

Re: Exclusive MR2 Track Day Weekender - 17/18 Oct
do your brakes have to work harder going to tyres like the r888's or is it the other way round? i'm struggling to understand why i wasnt getting any brake fade on standard discs/pads when people can still get it on aftermarket set ups is it simply that i wasnt working them hard enough as it certain...

That would be the black one with the Opel 2 litre engine in it. We are off to Rockingham with it tomorrow, which is a circuit I have never even spectated at, let alone driven, but at least it's just a track day. My worst moment was qualifying a modern F3 car at Combe, never having even spectated the...

It was going to be a simple refresh ...
