Dave B Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Come on. I know this is a bad time for selling, But think of the cudos with a car like this, Crossflow, heavy engine, for stability Clamshell wings for extra cooling. 😬 Dave B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickrick Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Dave, there's no reason you can't get this put on Spanish plates, if it's registered in U.K. already. You just need a good "Gestor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil B Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi Dave, I noticed that you had Hi-Spec 4 pots on standard discs, I am think of going this way myself to lose some weight at the front of my 85 live axle with Zetec (I have princess iron 4 pots at present). How were the brakes compared to standard ?? Thanks Phil B (7 at last) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi Phil The Hi Spec conversion was great brake feel and pressure was an improvement on ths standard set up. I believe quite a few folks have done this conversion and the staff at Hi spec are very helpful. I bought the whole kit with new discs and it was all just a straight swap except for needing to put a spacer washer between upright and caliper to get the alignment right.
