one litre wonder ;) Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 yeah i use when changing down a gear and lifting the clutch and braking that slows the car down , but once the brakes are warm there not there at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 but once the brakes are warm there not there at all That reminds me of my mates old 850 mini when on drums all round "shouldnt you be braking for this corner we are doing 70" "ive been braking since the last corner" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":surprise:" border="0" alt="surprise.gif" /> wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthedriva Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 yeah i'm pretty sure even my mk1 1.4 has vented on the front (drums on the rear) but then i need them because i can't use the engine to brake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
