Stephen

How fast do you want a Road Angel "fix" ?? I've decided that I want to slow down (Godspeed front brakes) rather than watch the gatso's go by !!

interested ??

BTW Cumbrian Scoobs where's the nearest BP Connect petrol station for 100 RON ??????


Midlife.....

Hi midlife

can't understand why Godspeed's can improve stopping. I agree they are bigger disks . But if u use the same pads and grips how can they stop you quicker ? (unless the contact between pad and disk improved)
yep less brake fade as heat lose heat quicker but stopping ??

Well intrested in your RA

steve

PS WHERE's nearst BP station .. Think there is one at junction ? The one before newcastle carlisle on the M6

Steve

 

Steve how much is the taxi ride from whitehaven to the sportsman and the return, i dont want the meter just a fixed price.

you dont have any bookings yet do you??

Phil G

 

You're banned after being sick in the back and doing a runner.

Bloody tiffs

Steve

 

if i rember the skoda tv advert correctly most people do a runner from a skoda

Is that cos the only time people get in them thay are pissed up with no money to pay the fare

Phil G

 

Steve, have you got your blue light lenses to go behind the grill yet?

 

Not yet.

Still got my Scoob (till Thursday).

It's amazing how quiet they are as standard and how long they take to stop without Godspeeds!

Steve

 

should i get lady harding to come in her L&K to make you feel better among the scoobys !!!

look forward to seeing it as they are a really top car

 

Steve are the engines still in the back mate.

 

steve you better 'Check' it out


steve

 

TAXI!!!!!!!!!!

 

Steve

Count me in ...

What time in the car park to hand over the brown bag with the droplinks ??

Shaun

 

Stephen

Godspeed kits come with bigger pads to increase area of pad contact, seem to think from my A level physics days that the further away from the centre of rotation of a spinning disk the easier it is to stop.

Are you going to the Sportsman's next wednesday ?? we could have a chat about the relative merits of RA against the £595 Godspeed brake kit

Cheers


Shaun

 

One word answer to why bigger disks stop quicker-

Torque

Will try and explain on Wednesday. Better friction of uprated pads helps too.

Steve

 

Ahhh

See what you mean midlife ..only got a C in A level physics .. worked fecken hard for that to.
I see what you mean as far as Godspeed now.
Thanks 4 expl

Look forward to meet, I agree, u need great brakes to use RA .. As u have to stamp on grips if lazer warning kicks off

Steve

 

I need to speak to Mr. Godspeed on his return from holiday about what he can do for my skip

Steve

 

Stephen / Steve

Looks like I need advice on Stoppers

Not sure about Road Angel Laser alert...... Tanking down M6 North back home from Manchester on Wednesday evening I saw a Police van with a sliding door open on a small bridge over the M6 near Kendal...BIG sign saying "safety" on the side but open door pointing my way...Standard scooby brakes put to test and the usual sensation of right foot standing in a bowl or corn flakes with cold milk !! I guess the crunching feeling is the ABS

Nothing from the RA,.... either K band radar or pointing at the number plate !! NIP in thr post ??

Blackspot do an extention lead to put the laser detector near the front number plate..tempted

Whatever, a bit dissed on the braking front

Midlife.....

 

I'll be there too.

Hey Mike, any chance you could bring along your standard DV, wouldn't mind trying it in mine to see if it works.

DaveW.

 

 

yea no problem dave.

mike

 

I'll be there in my Legacy just out of TEG where it was receiving some much needed engine & clutch attention

Mark, did u flog that Dawes you had? or has anyone else got one they don`t need anymore?

 

I have a spare set of Whiteline rear drop links going. If anyone wants them bring £40 with them, otherwise they are going back to JW Racing for a refund.
