Looks like there is a possibility I'll be selling the Micra to fund a BMW 325 rally car to get back to rwd. A few people said they want it but have to get the money together etc. I want £4000 for the car as recently bought new stainless exhaust, steel flywheel dyno session etc. Don't really want...

Not really what your supposed to do but cars were sliding off everywhere as really slippery so a little cut won't hurt ;)

Yeh I cut the corner. He wouldnt move and was costing me loads of time. Had enough time to move so only way I could get around him. Wasn't behind for long.

Yeh was really slippery. Good fun

Couple of pictures from Pembrey. Caught this escort mid stage. He wouldn't get out of the way. I even give him a nudge up the arse to move. So I cut in front of him on this corner in front of a large crowd of people one of which had a camera

Doing Pembrey Xmas stages on the 28th of this month. Should be fun but car is going to struggle against the fast cars as quite a few straights etc. Hoping it wet n slippery! Will put a picture up.

I'm after a set of front brake calipers from a k11 Micra that doesn't have vented front discs for a hydraulic handbrake conversion. Pref in south Wales unless you can post. Kipsy 07973637894 cheers

Cheers to Jon Suter for the pic!;)

Picture of the rally as promised. On a hairpin right!

Yeh that's quite a low grip budget tyre. Used to use them whilst practicing with my old corolla and escort. Brilliant fun and better than nankangs etc

Hello, did you ever get the system up and working? I'm considering fitting both standard rear caliper and a front caliper for hydraulic handbrake etc for rally use

What Tyres do you use though? I run soft Tarmac Tyres and occasionally slicks which grip really well. I'm not saying you run crap tyres but does it work on good quality rubber? Thanks for all your responses guys!

Just using standard pads, won't lock hot or cold. Needs pressure I think. It's got Aeroquip through out and a bias valve

I have one of those bias valves and it still won't lock. I've tried playing with it but maybe a bit more playing. Bloody road rally rules changing again so no separate or vertical handbrakes next year. Boo

Hola, I've got a Micra with a rear disc conversion and the handbrake is crap. I've got good discs and pads and the calipers are not seized. I have both cable handbrake lever and a large lever which is hydraulically operated. I've bled the system and had a new hydraulic handbrake lever made up...
