Took 2live's and Northy's best efforts with a hammer to seperate that holey pad and the caliper piston.

And I was told that the pads had 25% left in them before the track day :shock:

Well after yesterday I'd say there well worth the dosh, was well impressed....even though I probably didn't brake as hard as some I had no break fade at all.....if I stabbed the pedal the ****er would stop..... :D

i had no problems with my wilwoods, was doing 10/15 laps at a time and not a drop of brake fade even when coming down from 110 on the back straight!

Yes mate, spoke to Mark this afternoon and I should (may be, just may be :wink: ) have them by the end of the week as he has a set in stock. I need new calipers, discs and pads now anyway, so thought may as well!

Going for the standard size discs with the Poly E pads.

Damn this club and its continual temptations to the dark side. And I swore I'd not modify this car :roll:

class - glad i came out with you when i did.

never expected them to be so bad.


u best not get them 4 pots fitted before me !

modding is the best way to improve a williams - them brakes of yours before they melted were GREAT ! couldnt belive on the power of them.

but u need to get that cat and exhaust sorted - Dont fit the standard one - get a custom made stainless steel one !

wait till u come out in mine again mate to decide !

dont think of it as modifying mate....all ur doin is upgrading/uprating.

think about it.homolgomation rally car...single pot sliding calipers????

err think they were the first things renaultsport binned when they took it into its natural habitat..the track/stage


along with the shocks n springs.


trust me....theres quite a lot u can finish off on ur car, where reno had to cut corners and soften it up for the public market.
