Default Best laid plans etc etc

As per the footer at the end of my posts, I'm not going to mod cesil, I have no plans to mod cesil, definitely keeping it standard.

Already have a highly modified car with the GP, no need for another!

So,

Tuesday morning I'll be ordering a set of AP brakes for both front and rear

Going for the black calipers as, IMHO, I think the red looks a bit bright. Have red ones on the GP and quite often wish I'd gone for black.

Onto backboxes, unsure whether or not to do. If it got changed do I go for normal SuperSprint or Lightweight race?

Scared of making it sound a bit too noisy, have the GP if I wish to numb my ear drums.

Like the idea of sharpening the tone up a little without trying to scare old women and their dogs.

Hopefully might have a selection to listen to on the 1st June

Save your money buying the back ones not needed but get suspension instead

I know what you mean ref the rears, I appreciate they'll be just for show.

However, one thing that pee's me of on the GP is the mis-match of the front and rear brakes but there is sod all I can do about it. AP don't do anything for Mini rear brakes.

I can guarantee it'd bug me on cesil so doing the lot.

Suspension? Not saying much on that currently, playing politics with the LHSM

If the oem kit gave up the ghost then it would be replaced with coils, until then it can stay.

Then again, I said that about the brakes.

Brakes: look better but £
Exhaust: supersprint drone, titanium is the only way to go, I've had 5 different exhausts
Less cars go on track now so I would stick OEM if you haven't forked out any £££

Cheers bud.

I know the brakes are ££ but, we have to spend our hard earned on something. Birds and booze wouldn't get too good a reception at home

Also, very wary on a droney exhaust. Said earlier somewhere that making a mistake on a Mini exhaust is relatively easy to solve whereas on cesil the cost of said boo boo could be eye watering.

Which exhaust are you running currently?

AP's all round - first class decision

Colour - Black is the colour - discretion on the looks

I have Red after 2 years of running black, just fancied a change and the black rims option does compliment the post box calipers.

SS lightweight race BB is the peoples choice, super sound, welding looks a little friday afternoon.

Titanium BB are very high quality but pricey.

If money is no option then Dixis,Gruppem are the Titanium front runners.

Silverstone will give you a broad overview of exhaust notes.

SS Lightweight BB will be in abundance!!

Pax rides will be available.

I've got a one off titanium hand made thing, not as loud as a ss , half the weight and zero drone.
SS is a great sound but the drone got to me

Agreed. Drone can send occupants a bit mad.
