Brakes (again!)

Post by Carl »

Well it seems that the standard brake setup on my 360 cant cope any more. Did another road rally last night, and after the first half the front pads (Mintex M1144s and dot5.1 fluid BTW) had cooked themselves and were fading badly. And the rears had overheated and locked on, and were red hot and smoking, melting the mud flaps.

Time to go looking for a 400 with vented discs!!

Oh, and there were 2 other Volvos out, which is quite rare. AN Amazon 122s, and a 144GL with a 165bhp B20E engine, which was very cool!
