hello all just a quick update on my little project. Sadly not a lot of progress has been made only on the shopping list lol got the demontweeks motorsport catalogue at ford fair found some nice things its well worth getting a copy if u dont have one they are free. Right the car, I thought id turn my attentions 2 the brakes because 300 horses and standard brakes would be a quicker way 2 meet the grim reaper. A quick peak at good ol ebay and some mk1 focus rs stoppers were soon on the way when they arrived i was surprised 2 see red stuff pads which look as if they had just been bedded in just need the rest of the system 2 make them work now lol il update again when i have made some more progress.

Plumb them into the hydraulic system from an ABS Sierra - don't need the rest of the anti-lock system...  How does 160bar of hydraulic assistance sound compared to a vacuum assisted servo?

Sounds good but il stick 2 a converted escort mk2 bias pedal box. Didnt know it was that much pressure though.
