i use standard 8.4 disc setup, but with grooved discs and yellow stuff brake pads, they stop me fine. I use yellow stuff brake pads as i kept getting the standard pads too hot, and end up with virtually no brakes and the smell of cooked brake pads, when driving "enthusiastically".

Sam, are the 'Yellow' pads the next grade up from Green? I found that Greeen faded out when I really used them on test, so I went to the C-M ones when I ran out of my stock of the old asbestos/copper DS11 competition pads (now NLA of course).

yep, yellow are next up from green. There nearly worn out, so im going to try some mintex ct11, i think thats what they are? Although i doubt ill be able to cook standard brakes now with a 998 boogy box.

I'm sure you'll soon have a 'big' engine back in. Are you doing the Huntingdon to Hunstanton Run?

if i keep the mini itll be turboharged eventually, i would have liked to do the h2h run, but i shall be going racing that weekend with my work, as itll be the first race of the season and the first race for the new race car, which will get a lot of attention, lol.
