if you are fitting r32 id go for 312mm front brakes with modifyed hub adaptors , 280s would be ok , if u upgrade the rears , to vented with a brake bias, ps if u plan to turbo that r36 , please please remember to change timing chaine bolt as there weak and snap :thumbsup:

:lol: your english is very good! alot better than most english people. I will say it added to the humour the lack of perfect grammar :p

Adaptorman- is a custom tank something you'd be intrested in making?

yes i can but , for the price u can buy them form ebay for, isnt really worth maing them

I upgrade mine to tarox 6pot 312 front and 256 rear.

I just curious what you have for turbo ?

i imagine G60 suffer brake fade heat up and restrict driving abilitys?

I might have to look into some bigger brakes, there fine for now though, no brake fade or anything. Should be getting my door cards back from the good lady whos doing them next week and also my rear bench maybe complete.

I was always taught essentials then aesthetics.

Haha, i know but i don't see them as an essential, the brakes are fine that are on at the minute, the seats are getting leathered for free aswell lol. The most important thing i need is the wheels banding to get some traction.

WOW ha, that is mental, just done a quick tune and fu ck me pink

Nippy? ;)

Hedge ?

^^^^ :lol:

IMO with brakes, you could have like hundreds of horse power, but you're still gonnabe slowing down from the sake speeds, unless you drive like a dick. Ok you have more weight with the vr lump but it's also over the front end so it might help you slow.

Don't get me wrong upgrading is a good idea, but tbh I'd imagine the 280's are ok at the minute unless he's spanking it round or doing track days etc

Build VR turbo not for spanking ?

I'm only concerned for his safety.

280's on turbo would be like 239's on na.

Just not adequate enough.

Great job lads, I can't wait to do my AFH, This just shows me how much work is needed :/ Ah well, Good luck with what ever is next 8-)

Yeah I get your point, but tbh if he's spanking that much on the roads to overcook 280's he shouldn't have a license :p

I look at few threads.

This has more bhp than the Panda car ?

Panda run Willwoods ?

are we guna see your polo (polo r36) talk is not the thing to do on this forum, you need to show

I could drive 100's of miles without using anything but the handbrake, and still be alive. He's only gonna have issues if he's properly going for it and heavy braking etc, he's also said he'll upgrade in time, relax!

Just got back from the weekend away, its rediculously fast ha, I'm not one of these thats gone from a 1.0 to a 2.8 either ha, I've had evos and scoobys and that and nothing compares lol. Really struggling for traction though, car spins tyres in 3rd in the dry. Wide wheels are now a necessity.

Yeah i agree with you harris.racing, the brakes are only going to be tested when I'm going really fast and need to stop suddenly, (which i won't be doing). the rest of the time i can brake gradually as normal and keep them at a safe temp. The brakes will be getting upgraded eventually though yes.

Also have you got any pics or a build thread of the R36 polo mate?
