Thanks Malcolm, You say APs are the better brake, no question. My question is, why? What is it about the APs that are so much better. Don't mind spending the extra cash, just want to know why. Brett, Keith, My current thinking is AP 4 pots front (CP5040) with a 295 disc (15" wheels) with a...

Anyone know where to get the 1/4 fittings from. Would prefer to run solid pipe, but cant find the necessary fittings.

Be a shame to close it down. There is some good stuff in it. It just need separating out, so those with a desire to engage in political discussion may do so with out impacting on the rest of us.

Thanks Brett. That is a big selling point, their head office is just down the road from me in Coventry. Trouble is they wont deal with me as an individual. The thing is the Wilwood's 6 pots are roughly half the price of the equivalent AP's, although AP 4 pots are cheaper and about the same...

Just read that on Autosport. Not a sensible move in my opinion.

Thanks for the heads up. Managed to change my holiday. Should be a good race next year, especially if Toyota can last the distance.

Any chance we could have a separate political forum, where Bob and Jim can discuss the relative merits of communism vs nazism? (Just kidding guys!) That way the rest of us could just chew the fat like we used to, and those who have probably become disillusioned with the paddock of recent...

Thanks for the input so far. What a really want to know is are the APs worth the extra cash or not. And if so why? I can get the extra money past the bank manager(wife) but only with justification. People keep telling me that APs are the best, but when asked why, no one seems able to tell me.

Im sure this must have been before, but I'm interested in updated views. So, AP brakes or Wilwood brakes? And why?

To an extent your right, although McLaren are doing their bit to reduce the cost of CF cars. At the moment the cost is prohibitive, and the technology not yet advanced enough to take fossil fuels out of the transport system altogether. However, all your talking about is an increase to 55mpg...

Thanks guys, With Charlie's help I'm now sorted.

Mine arrived today. Very impressed. Looks really good.

Anyone know where to get one? Theres one on ebay, has anyone got one from this chap? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150874086522?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619#ht_500wt_1373 I seem to remember that someone on here used to do them.

You might want to tell Audi that: Audi R8 e-tron Nurburgring lap | evo News | News | evo Silverstone WEC: #1 Audi e-tron wins hard-fought race - Le Mans news - AUTOSPORT.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6hmXpsI18o And we still have 13 years to go.

But how good would it be for your Vett or GT to be as fun, as powerful, and still get 55MPG! Its coming, its just that the engine noise might be on a CD. 100% of the torque, 100% of the time, its the future.

Very good! I need to take up tennis.

That all depends on your interpretation, and for that we will have to wait for the DFT to rule. I would have thought, having read a bit more about it, that your car would then need to pass the braking efficency section of the MOT for that car. You wouldn't be allowed to make the brakes worse...

For more discussion on this: An end to 'modified' cars? A lot of very unhappy people!

From what I understand, its not outlawing alterations but forcing people who make alterations to then undergo testing. I suppose in this case it would mean IVA. Still not good for the industry.

I heard a rumour that you were doing this. Congratulations, if it's as good as your previous build it will be quite some car. Are you supercharging the coyote? You know you want too ;)
