    Helps with what?

    Reading quite a bit on US racing forums, they tend to stick with s14 BMC with Z32 brakes all round - makes for better bias & feel apparently?
    Few of them were having issues locking the wheels with Z32?

    I was wondering about making the jump.

    Sorry to hijack Al x

    I ran 300zx on standard Mc and the brakes felt shit... spongy and needed way to much input and pressure, upgraded to 300zx MC and was really mint!

    Al, the car looks awesome. very clean, and the project thread is wicked.

    Shame about the engine trouble but always an excuse for more power.

    You'll be pleased to know since that lap in your MX5, I sold the smokey metro, and have purchased a nice S13.
    Will be getting a project page up soon.

    Good read, Mate! The Car looks Bulletproof; some Over-Fenders would really set it off! :D

    Hope it is bullet proof! Going back for a trackday at the 'Ring on the 23rd of August fingers crossed. :)

    Thought about over fenders, but it seems a shame to ruin a perfectly good shell!

    Just read through the whole thread and love the car and what you have/are doing with it. Yellow is an awesome colour, my first car was yellow and I'd have another yellow car in a heartbeat.
