Hydraulic disk brakes

Using a gps thingy we clocked the offroader an 34mph over bumpy terrain.
We have yet to find anywhere big and flat enough to clock the megane.

that megane is brilliant !!
gonna be running mine down the local "private road" next to my mates car to see how quick it is
when youve got hydralic brakes it stops being a toy imo

The megane is incredibly fast which means if you lose control then it normally cost dearly.
First run after building it he crashed into a wheelie bin and caused ?80 worth of damage. lol
He's getting pretty good with it now and goes down the local station long stay car park on a sunday.
I will be getting an fg offroader but with either a pajero body shell or a jeep wrangler. Have promised myself that I'll finish the nova first though.

?750 for that particular set up.
They are a bitch to set up but once done really help the car to stop quickly... which is good when your travelling at 60mph towards a curb.
