I went to Mod Nats 1st event in 2003 and thought it was some chavvy shite. Any event that has some ICE competitions needs to be avoided in my opinion.

Its best to keep the events seperate in my opinion so that they concentrate on one thing.

Thats why there is specific track days where you're allowed to do whatever with exception of overtaking on bends and some other small rules.

If you want to see vaginas and the like may i suggest going to an event specifically designed for that purpose. I would suggest a trip to the Shoresditch area to Browns, Ye Olde Axe or Metropolis.

Simple heh!

japster, i wonder if you could do with some decent pads, as you have briaded front hoses dot 5 fluid and 4 pot calipers, perhaps get those rear hoses fitted and decent pads, i'am also going to see about getting some brake master cylinder braces made up, they are about £60-£80 from cusco, i bet they can be made up for next to nothing.

i don't know if they do a great deal, but owts worth a try.

Sounds good mate - Def be interested in sorting any extra braking ability out, but even as it stands, she's MILES better with the 4-pots! - I read (on a commercial site - APEX I think) somewhere that the slave cylinders for brakes on the S12's/S13's are cheap, and suggested to be replaced when doing a full brake conversion (though being a commercial site, I obviously take this advice with a pinch of the proverbial!...

Do yer stuff Shaun mate - I'll be glad (as always) to reap the benefits of your missions to making the right stuff fit...

Was good to see you guys there Duncan - That's a great Silvia you've got there, and the quality of the paint job was (to my untrained eye at least) superb!...

Hopefully you got your brakes sorted out in the end!

thanks den. nice to meet ye there too. i'm well chuffed with the paint considering the state it was in. got a bit of a brake pedal back in it but i'm going to order some brake lines and fit my 4 pots soon. is there any particular part numbers i should ask for?

Yep -She's looking nice indeed! - As for part no's - Shaun (S13Eater) is the man to talk to mate! - He gave me all the info I needed, and pointed me towards the suppliers of his custom made brake lines! (Oh, and erm, fitted the lot for me! - The man's a star!)...

yep matey's, just ask for brake hoses 2 inch longer than the s12's on the front, tell him you want the same as shaun ashmore had, and den evans, then just make a pair of spacers out of an old pair of pads.
