theres nothign in there about zetec brakes? only st170 conersions that i could find

[- Danny Boy -]

Yeah the servo will be fiiiiiiiiiiiine. If you are that worried, get a servo off xr2i/rs1800/rst/1.6 si and fit it, but the standard servo will be upto the job for sure.

[DanFraser]

Easy way of raising the pedal. Put some washers on the rod.

[ben17southport]

may as well do the servo. more pressure=win.

this guy has it on the head


mike 260s are perfect for my car, they will be more than fine for your 1.1 and the 1.6 plans too, take my word for it, before you fit the cvh go fit a escort or even mondeo servo and you wont look twice at the calipers

[Excursion]

You will be fine using your standard MC for ZS brakes, but be warned, the ZS brakes aren't great at all. Ford scaled down the piston size considerably.

If you're going to the trouble of fitting new brakes then I would recommend RS2000 260mm.

[Michael!]

but i already have zs calipers from my old car

they'll be better over the standard ones and sufficient for the 1.1 for now though? i could move onto something better at a later date? possbily 300's then change the servo along with those in the future or something?

[jonyb4]

lol hes just letting you know mike, hes not telling you throw them away

i have heard the same thing mind, i use RS2000's myself

[jonyb4]

if you want to see bang for your buck, by a escort/mondeo servo!

[- Danny Boy -]

If you want to see bang for you buck, just press the pedal with your left foot

[Michael!]

i know he wasnt, was just filling in on the situation.


left foot braking only works if youre 17 and own a 1.2 corsa, its the only way of stopping them

Yeah, nearly broke my nose the first time I did that

[Michael!]

i remember doing it in my grandads 75 when i was learning. fcking last time ill do that.

[dontpannic]

You learned to drive in a Rover 75?

[Michael!]

no no no! i just got insured on my grandads and he let me drive it everytime we went out

[DanFraser]

Doing left foot braking is even scarier with st24 brakes an a mondeo servo. Almost broke the seatbelt.

lucky it wasnt your neck! cant imagine that feeling pleasent!

[DanFraser]

I'd still recommend getting the brakes upgraded as much a possible. Standard or slightly upgraded brakes would have written off my car, other drivers faults with these ones such as the classic pull out in front of me with NO room to spare.

[- Danny Boy -]

Shouldn't be speeding and/or you should be cautious and aware of your surroundings.

As we are on the left food braking thing, may I recommend doing it in a modern French car? Most of them have pin sharp brakes!

I never speed, seriously. I've had to avoid the people who just don't plain see my car.

f**k that even older ones, my grandads Y reg picasso is stupidly sharp... its why i dont like driving with him

that and he goes into 5th at 30mph and the car judders when he builds speed

[HCS PIMP]

ST24 CALIPERS are a good alternative to cossy brakes .
You do need to grind about 3 mm out of the caliper carrier to get it to clear but once done very good brakes
failing that just get some mintex m1144 pads grooved discs and some racing dot 4 fluid

[Michael!]

brake plans on hold until i get paid, but looks like ill just be fitting the zs calipers wit a fresh set of dics and pads.

done something different with the bumpers, wip but you might like it. (it dosetn involve stickers)

[Michael!]

AND


its my 21st on the 25th october and my family have agreed (after i persuaded them) that giving me money is a good idea.

that meaning one thing
A NEW CAR.

this will be coming off the road when the tax runs out - so i can sort everything out over the winter and sort out the bodywork, engine, eberything

my new aim is to get this to fitp next year as the car i want it to be. money will be spent - tears will be shed and blood will be spilled but as per your comments, advice and help will go a long way!

[ben17southport]

good man. so you're having a run around and this as a project?

[jonyb4]

i give up

[fezza89]

Dont get another car mate, it makes more sense to have 1 decent car than 2 cars that need work. Focus on this fiesta.

[Michael!]

Yeah a nice daily to get me places comfortably, rather than a creaky old fez. And rather than keep throwing money at this get it sorted properly!

Why Jon?

No because this is turning into a money pit and with the money from my 21st I'll be able to afford something better without getting rid! Makes more sense to me.

[fezza89]

Its up to you if you get another car. Just saying its not all s**t and giggles having 2 cars, its twice the lay out and twice the frustration. Im even thinking about outing my other car.

[ben17southport]

tbf mike i was positive i was going to get a runaround so i could get my 2.0l in my fiesta but i scrapped that idea for the reason that fezza just said. im happy using my bike and insuring myself on my mums car for the odd week. just makes you get the car done for definate then a 2nd car wont give you the drive to get your current one done asap because you wont exactly need it will you.

up to you though mate!

[jonyb4]

a 2nd car wont give you the drive to get your current one done asap because you wont exactly need it will you.

this! ^^^

[Michael!]

I have no social life, so in the winter when I'm bored I'll be able to pop put to the garage and do little bits. Plus I'll have until June at least!

[Fraggle]

Lord Michael

Love it

[Michael!]

You get my pm Ben?

[ben17southport]

do you mean me mike?
