Oh my god, I almost put that down on my list of things to do for tomorrow...Alison will kill me...errr...must resist!

Brakes first.....just need to find a decent set, did you find the brakes good when they were in good condition, or did they leave you wanting? Not sure if I should get a set or Brembo's or the like, or just change for a good set of disks. The feel is not there like it was on the maser spyder or the Lancia (but it did have f40 brakes).

Glad you are enjoying!

Don't tell her, just ring them :thumbsup:

The lack of feel could be down to the pads, they are a bit slow to respond in comparison to the OEM. The standard brakes were fine for road use. I'd suspect you might just need some new disks. Be careful what you choose in aftermarket stuff. I'd stick with OEM.
