[lozcb]

Didn’t we once speak about lacquers peel or something on your car or was it someone else..or apologies if it was someone else

Not to my knowledge , phew you got me worried for a moment , havent seen the car for over a year since i bought it, for one horrible second thought Matty might have accidently lowered the ramp down on top of it ........................but if i ever do have problems you be on the list , since ive moved dont have a local painter or detailer as yet

No problem, sorry to make you panic I thought it was you via Instagram wanting some paintwork... my mistake..

but anyway forget that, go get @conaero to manufacture some big brakes for you I’m well impressed with the quality of these

Which was yours darn sarf then? There was a couple of beaten up loaners there.

Great to meet you today buddy.

They look stunning, and the right coloured calipers!

Also, @Ebenezer your question is answered, yes, it can be done.

Just got shiny new disks and pads all round for my 4 pots as the last ones warped after 18K. Obviously they can't take the punishment of SM European jaunts! Well done @Leicesterminiracer!

It’s a cracking car, looking forward to seeing it in fine fettle once more.

Are the brembo 6 pots shared with any other cars? As a little underwhelmed by the standard 4 pots
Thanks

 

[Wanderer]

Do they make a big difference? Still a huge heavy car!

 

[drellis]

Lots of other heavy cars break so much better. I've only had the qp a couple months but it's braking is rubbish compared to my cayenne turbo ( and that's a 2003 so not exactly new).
When I had an esprit S4 I had to change the breaks as was a car with 0-60 under seconds but with brakes from a 1980's base model Toyota Celica

When I borrow my daughters Citroen C1 I accidentally test the seat belts by mere ordinary braking, just then again it must weigh nowt even with a fat blob in it (ie me)....

Are you talking about a 3200? The challenge with those and the 4200 is the lug mounted calipers, it needs a custom bracket to fit a 6 pot, which is doable but on the pricey side.

I see my signature has gone, good eh?

 

[drellis]

Hi Zep, sorry no I sold my 3200 many years ago. It's a 2004 qp
