More pics of the CS in the background in that last pic?

Sorry about the 205, I have the Banzai which it's in, looks very neat!  8)

Woops. I never even noticed the other one.
It belongs to a mate of Pauls. Paul should be along later with more pics. If not I'll pull them off Jon44

Thanks Wiggy! As partly posted in my topic;

I couldn't find brakes with the specs I was after back in '06 (complete story with my findings is on my website), so I decided to ask AP Racing about making a set for the 185. After loads of e-mails and sending OEM parts to the AP Racing headquarters in Coventry, they developed this 6pot 330x32mm kit - I'm proud to say my car features the world's first ever AP Racing Formula big brake kit for the ST185. I went to AP in Coventry in February '07 where the kit was fitted and the final road testing was done. So far it's holding up very nicely and although I haven't run the car on a track yet, both cold/warm performance is really good.

A friend of mine used to run an AP set up (4 pots) on his 185 but he made it up himself using Carina bells I think and 295 rotors.

I want a kit for my 165 (same fits as 185) and this may be the one  ;) Do you have a contact at AP I can get in touch with? Unfortunately I can't go to 330's becasue I'm stuck with 16" Roulettes. I think 300x32 would be sweet enough though for me  :) :) :)

Thanks

wiggy please make sure this goes to the best home possible. i would take it myself but dont think i could drive it. i can only ever imagine paul driving it. it is one of the best gt4s around no expenses spared on it, and always looked after. i helped paul with most of the build on this car. lots of nights spent in the garage to all time of the night. and if he wanted something for it that he could buy paul would design it and custom make it from scratch. it was unbelieveable the stuff paul knew. i always said whoever got that car would have to get a new map made up for it.  please dont try to buy this car if you cant look after it and keep it in the show car condition it is in.

thanks gordon

Looks to me like Paul_GT4 is the man for the job then so. You pretty much summed him up in the last line.   ;)

Spec list.....haven't got the time to write....lol
Price guide to the right buyer - Cheap....Lets just say around the price you'd expect to pay for a good 205, not a fantastic one of a kind 205 thats won shows and been a feature car.....

PM me for more info and I'll do my best to explain about the car in more detail
