So all these suggestions what is recommended by experience. because i have had one occaasion where you get fade and stopping becomes avoidsion i call it a willyesk experience so ive heard

willyesk??
Its not fun, thats for sure.
Which is why i'm getting discs.
Puts the fun into driving a mini tho... learning how to drive with next to no brakes
Adds excitement

Second hand does NOT mean second best.

I resemble that comment , and agree there's no need to put the lady down! If you're going to do it, do it the best way possible (especially when it comes to brakes).

You may find this hard to believe, but I've heard of some minis getting serious brake fade when running around the Adelaide Hills....

OK... go get some 8.4s. Get em recond or buy new, fit EBC Greenstuff pads, or Blackstuffs if you don't thrash it in them thar hills...

Hondas DO work but bits have to be made to fit 'em... and I don't make 'em any more.

Ok so it looks like 8.4s are the go and i guess ill have to challenge willy to a brake off when he gets his but i guess it would be harder to stop all the extra weight cheeers

Yeah mate
We don't have wimpy hills like Sydney does

And the running around bit... how many women do you know that like running around?
And Mike, you're wonderful. Jack of all trades i bet you are.

Heaps! Been given the run around by women all my life!

As for not doing the running around im a personal trianer so i tend to do alot of running so i guess i may have to do a bit more to prove that cars are not just for guys

Oh I like to try (and fail) whenever I can.

And re: Hills. You wanna see hills, come to Coogee where I live. the first thing I had to fix in the mini was the handbrake, everything here is at a 60* incine. The keyboard is slipping off my desk as I'm typing this very sentence.
But atleast you Adelaide guys have the Churches, thats something I guess.

@ Keyboard comment.

Churches... yer theyre pretty boring after the first few times ya have to drive past em.
Good if you're into the history of the stuff tho.
Maybe i'll grow to appreciate them.

i with you there, steve..



you buy your mini new?


i put second hand suspension arms on my 1998 Cr-v last month....
it's never driven better (and less clunkier )

Sad to lose ya mate, kiss goodbye to your hard earned cash.

Just get a set of 8.4's. They are relatively cheap vs 7.5 inch coopers and no engineers certificate or modifications required. Sure they stop as good as hondas, but less hassle too. Save $$$. They are probably around $600 - $800 depending on what you wear on the day (sorry I couldn't resist)

Fair call I guess I'll have to shopping for a new outfit or something. You say $6-800 would that be fitted?
