Caught a small dose of the upgraditus, bought on by a total lack of brakes and a couple of brown trouser moments. Luckily the parts bin is big and shared with Ford and an oem solution has been found. ST callipers and pads, Volvo 320mm vented discs and back plates, bastardised flexi hoses, a black and decker and a couple of hours fitting.. sorted. :D

I may, or may not, have a special dash config for noise testing which shows 1.5x RPM ;)

No video Kev, this was a shakedown session so didn’t bother at this point.

@Steve M Regards the noise man, he asks the car and then what engine is in it. All I said was Honda and off he went into his monologue.

@Phil, he will ask the engine detail.
