Today I took the wheels off my Evo for the first time since I've had it (not bad going), and I got to have a good look at the silly brakes in all their glory. I put a gtt disk next to the front disk to see how they compare in size:
I then put the gtt disk over the Evo one:
I then put a gtt wheel next to the Evo's brakes:
And then I looked, and I'm going to need some new pads soon - Cha ching
It stops pretty well though
And a GTT doesnt weigh 1450kg

How much are pads?
A set of fronts is probably more than a set of front and rear disks, and pads for a gtt
Oh my!A set of fronts is probably more than a set of front and rear disks, and pads for a gtt
You should do a relevant test like measure the whole renault 5 shell against that bo ing 747 rear spoiler, i'd imagine the results wouldn't be too far off!
KAD 6 pots Billy?
The spoiler weighs about 4kg - Just a bit more than a bare gtt shell (which is likely to be nothing but a pile of orange mess, after you've stripped everything off of itYou should do a relevant test like measure the whole renault 5 shell against that bo ing 747 rear spoiler, i'd imagine the results wouldn't be too far off!)
Aii
They're on the back as well, but not quite as big.
I like KAD brakes much better value than ap racing, probably half the price. Are they 360 mm Bill??
Half the price? The kit on my car cost £2.5k, sod the AP's then. I read somewhere that KAD use the same disks as AP.
Yep, 360mm or something like that, with 311mm on the rear.
Kiiiiiiiin Hell!!!
Those are some proper bad lad disks you've got their Billy?!
Just the job for commuting to work to deliver mail!
You taking her on track at this years ND at Mallory?
I doubt it mate - I didn't buy it to be a track car. It might do a cheeky lap of the 'ring though
Put them next to a new m3's discs and you will be in for a shock!
Why's that? They're the same size, according to this:

There both gay compared to bentley continental gt's 405 mm dustbin lids
how much does it weigh at 70mph?The spoiler weighs about 4kg - Just a bit more than a bare gtt shell (which is likely to be nothing but a pile of orange mess, after you've stripped everything off of it
DAMN! I thought I had the biggest brakes ever invented
Going on the fuel consumption, I'd say about 500 tonnehow much does it weigh at 70mph?
i think evo's have special tanks with holes in the bottom, my buds old evo 4 used to cost him silly money on fuel, to the point where he had to sell it as it was costing multiple hundreds a month in fuel alone
Yea, they're silly crap on fuel. Mine's on the standard map, and it runs a bit more boost. You can see the fuel pouring out the exhaust when you boot it
When I first got it I brimmed the tank with fuel, and the light came on after 160 miles. That was just 'normal' driving
Oh my................... How big are the tanks?Yea, they're silly crap on fuel. Mine's on the standard map, and it runs a bit more boost. You can see the fuel pouring out the exhaust when you boot it

That's an interesting subject, that seems to crop up a lot. Apparently they're 50 litres on the 6's. However, you'll never get get more than about 40 litres in when you fill up
The tank is a funny shape though, as the propshaft goes through the middle of it. So I think that 10 litres is 'out of reach'. Then, to add to the fun, you've got the legendary Mitsi fuel gauges, which have a mind of their own
At 40 litres thats 18.8 mpg!!!!! Thought my 5 was bad! Hasnt put me off one thoughThat's an interesting subject, that seems to crop up a lot. Apparently they're 50 litres on the 6's. However, you'll never get get more than about 40 litres in when you fill up

Good luck with the new pads mate, don't go for pagid blue unless you want every bus queue thinking you are the number 9 about to turn up every time you brake...squeal didn't describe the noise....
