Hello Rich -Nice but I thought you had given up with the Tipo and hid it away? I must confess I don't get on here very often now - but still have the Black 5door 16V

MIKE

Hi Mike, tipo is a bit of a joint effort with my mate trevor, who is racing it at the moment, down side is he's wearing it out, upside its gained a new lower FD and a set of £1200 AP brakes. These are biggest I can get on there with 15's 295mm circ. The coupe calipers that were on it were good, but the issue was with the warping of discs, the car has now got 4 pairs of brembo discs!! Hopefully the 2 part disc will reduce this issue, but its no gaurantee as I know they can still warp in this configuration. I dont actully know if they will be more powerful, a modest increase in diamter and great pad area should prove beneficial.

Don't even consider getting rid of yours, I'll cry if you do.

Hello Rich,

Glad to hear the car is seeing some use. What series are you racing in? and do you have a list of meeting dates?

CHEERS MIKE

What do you think was causing so much warping? Is it something you get more on smaller wheels?

Also what is a lower FD? I'm sure I must be just missing the obvious.

Warping simple = heat, especially on the cool down cycle, kept having the inch the car forward after stopping to spread the heat differential you get under the pad area, still didnt cure it, last trip out the car had 8 front discs 2 on 6 spare for the weekend!!

FD=Final Drive now 4.4:1
