Re: Brake booster?!

Guys, The booster runs on manifold vacuum......you can run any size booster with any size braking system you want (with in reason).....but put a massive cam in the car...and your booster won't work the most important thing you have to watch out is the pushrod length in the booster as opposed to the ...

Re: wagon spoilers

yeah i've had a look at the factory wing on the high roof model......unfortunately it wasn't really the look i was after and the wing can only be attanched to a high roof model as it is bolted through the high roof section (at least that's what the arrangement was on the one i looked at)

Why is we always talk of balancing wheel/tyres, tailshafts/driveshafts, crankshafts, rods etc etc etc.......but never a brake rotor??????
