    It must be the added porkiness of the A3 body and the 19" rims that's chewing out the rotors

    Quite seriously and concentrating on Polos, Eddy found the standard 288mm rotors just fine for stopping power when doing 1:10's around Wakefield. He upgraded to get more cooling rather then increase in braking power.

    I'm starting to get worried about your internals

    I had a half-arsed look/attempt at fitting the rear brace this afternoon... can't say I like the massive frigging square holes where the bolts go through Looks like it's going to foul my fuel tank as well.. Did you have any problems like this Ant?

    Yeah that's what we thought too. Could do with much smaller holes for sure. Just touches the tank but we didn't think that was a big deal. Needs a bigger fatter washer over the hole and I'd rather see some lock nuts on there too.

    Sorry Clay not looking good for Happy Laps but with any luck all my new bushes, bracing and new alignment setting should be finished to ensure some high speed go cart action at Lakeside. Unless this Brisbane heat melts my tyers before then
