never heard of him pickles, I did a bit of research though, and he might have been james nash's engineer when he was in 888. He won the independent championship in the btcc in 2011 when Honda and matt neal took the full title. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I did toy with the idea of buying my disc setup upgrade, but id rather do some more research on the rear side of things 1st as well as replacement hoses too. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I will be switching them to vented at the front, and upgrade the rears, I do have a problem somewhere across the board. So i might as well just upgrade while i have the option to do so. With me doing mainly motorway miles i want the system up to scratch. The A19 what i go on, is wacky races at times! So i need the stopping power, Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Matt neal has been in the btcc for nearly 30 years, he has worked his way up from an independent team to a works drive. won the championship 3 times. But I think he has lost his spark now, your friend might have even worked with him too at some point. Some engineers do jump around. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

110 rear brakes are very slightly larger in diameter but the main difference is that the caliper is larger and has a larger piston for better braking on the rear.

The good thing is that it's a bolt on conversion and even with the extra power at the rear, the fronts still lock up before the rear. So it's still a stable and safe braking upgrade Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon
