Having a successful day at Donington recently.

New brakes should help to stop 1100kg from 110mph!
What do you guys think?
Sorry if you are a puriest, but this baby really goes well now.

I have 3" diameter brake cooling ducts used to keep the original 283mm Gti6 brakes cool when 'hidden' behind C5 steelies.
You wouldn't believe how hot the brakes/wheels/bolts and even tyres used to get beforehand!

This is a much more constructive way to make your posts count mate, thanks for taking my message on board.
Looks like an epic little project, more pics and video needed though! Got any pics from the build? Mucho interested!

P.S. You may be 6'8" but mines one of the few 306's that you'll fit in (I'm 6'5" myself!).
