The pads on the Cab.. er.. sort of fell apart on track on friday. Whats the best to use with the standard caliper, fairly cheap mind, because its only a temp measure.

Did get some nice compliments about the 2 foot flames coming from the exhausts coming into the chicanes though.. :lol: .

Also, since the Coupe is going to the shotblasters in a week or so..

Do the UK Turbo cab and Uk T2 coupe of 89/90 have the same running gear.. ie, is anything different between the 2? Do they both have the 4 wheel steer? and the same LSD?

Oh.. and the wing almost fell off on track, duct tape to the rescue!

Oh.. and I bought the T78 33D .. whoops

Also.. how does one do a signiture here ?

hawks are good with stock calipers but get some good fluid.

most TII\'s dont have limited slip and if i remember correctly the cab has a different final drive in the diff but i\'m not sure.  Other than that the bits are the same.   They both have the rear steer bushes which you need get shot off unless they have been replaced which is unlikely.

Go to the USER CP and edit signature to add something like this     \\/  \\/  \\/  \\/  \\/  \\/
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!

Hi vixpy,

Yes Hawks are good, but if you want cheap have a look at the Mintex Xtream pads we sell at £120 the whole front and rear set delivered, here\'s some more info,

Thanks chaps, I have since realised i have a spare set of pads in the calipers off the coupe, might stick them in as a temporary measure because i suspect the coupe might well need a big brake kit!
