Yo guys...

Im going to change my cheap & nasty discs - the £14 efforts,lol, for some Mintex.

I have a 1.1 fiesta on a J plate (91) - not fast at all,lol, at the moment it has warped solid discs on it, could I just replace these with vented discs?, or wouldn't it be that easy?...thanks.

Daz.

Lift the setup straight from the Si/XR/RS. This is easy to do and cheap as the parts are so readily available

There you go mate. Towards the bottom of the post.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.
