This is booking up quickly with already a 1/3rd of our tickets sold

I have secured preferential rates at The THISTLE HOTEL for those that fancy chilling out afterwards

Hi Phil,

Please just call in for reservations and use the booking code SUBARU.

Then the 50 pound BB rate will be available for the specific dates.

Kind Regards,

My friend has just booked it aswell.

Right then.... a technical question:
I am currently running 4 pot brakes with Pagid pads, but am not 100% sure these will be up to the job.

What brake upgrade would people suggest without spending AP money. Godspeed? K Sports?

Or will i be ok with what i've got? (Have the 2 pot rear conversion fitted aswell)

You'll be fine with that set up. As long as you have the braided hoses, fluid upgrade and decent pad compound. lots of people favour the performance friction pads, i have found the pagids very good. Best thing is to not over do the amount of time out there and allow yourself a good lap to at low speeds to allow the brakes to cool down.
I personally run the AP 6 pot fronts, but original 1 pots on the rear

I will discuss it face to face ...... Or do a search for Godspeed with my username as the 'Topic starter' , you'll find all you need then

I upgraded to STi Brembo's, excellent value for money, and direct fitment, and being a standard Subaru fitment, easy to get pads for. But as Mike already said, change a few things round with what you have lready, and you will notice a difference .......... But I still stand by the upgrade to Brembo's (The STi ones )

Cheers for the brake advise folks.

Have decided to buy some new discs and pads (need replacing before Feb) and will get some decent fluid and the braided hoses.

And with the money i saved i've bought a Xbox 360

It would appear that you will need to register in the shop as they are not intergrated
