Dean, as I said, put some 6 brakes on the old girl. They work very well, iv never had any problem with brake fade. I usually use brembo discs and normal ferrodo pads from 4u2fit and its a set up that works very well and is relativly inexpensive.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

You can buy my gti6 setup as I listed above in a week or so mate. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Renault Brembos with 330mm discs. Only getting them because they look cool through the spokes,  , the standards are good enough for me. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Not sure I'd be happy with standard brakes when running circa 450bhp but each to their own ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!''

I know it sounds funny but how often can I use that 450 bhp, not much and when I do it seems to stop excellent with the pads, fair enough if I get on track I'm sure I'll change my opinion But for road use unless you have a dizzy adapter and carb they are more than up to the job. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

I find that the more power you have under the bonnet tends to lead to more sedate driving; I get accused of driving like an old man most of the time and my mate with an SL55 hadn’t noticed that his supercharger wasn’t kicking in.I guess when you have a lot of performance just knowing is enough and you choose your opponents more selectively. |

Even my diesel Astra has about 230lb of torque which is great when you need to overtake, but if wouldn't even be safe driving flat out in that car all the time, let alone when you have 400+ bhp. It's people who know they don't have so much who have to rag it everywhere to compensate  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

This ^^ I find exactly this with my GTi-6, it is definitely a case of waiting to use the power as and when you need to.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
