This may sound REALLY stupid, but are the brake discs on the right way round?

I only ask because some discs require to be run so the leading edge is the top (where the grove meets the pad first) so essentially they look backwards, but it's all to do with heat/water/dirt dispersion - makes for better braking It'll either say on the disc itself or with the instructions that came with them - not that you'll have them I expect lol

EBC discs require to be run back to front iirc. I had some for the old fiesta I had.

There are very few discs, grooved ones that is that can do either way, 90% of them require them to be run looking like they are back to front because of the way the groves are designed. They are made to cut into the air to cool them down and get rid of water and dirt containments

Cheers Terry! New phone helps a lot lol

It's still nearly 50 pages long already though lol

yup, but like 45 pages were utter tripe, pissing taking and no car or pics

Rotation of the discs depends on fin position between the surfaces, not the groove on the disc ( unless flat finned )

me and mole heat wrapped the crossover pipe:

Good work

just need some decent cutters to cut the ties

Hopefully got it right for a first go lol

Going to wrap the exhaust manifold too?

Dont think adam wants to go that far but maybe if we both get on it we can find time this summer to maybe have a go

not sure on manifold - need to do backbox though
