Let's start where you stop this month by treating project 5 to a brand new set of discs and pads from MTEC and a complete caliper overhaul.
When you're approaching a corner at warp speed, have almost definitely run out of talent and are about to have a cuddle with the Armco, there's only a couple of things that are going to save your bacon – a collision with another car that'll put you bang-on line for the next corner, or a damn good set of stoppers.
But as this is real life and not 'The Real Life Driving Simulator' Gran Turismo, we'll have a crack at the latter and thankfully MTEC's fantastic range of discs and pads are just the ticket for sparing your blushes.
The end goal with Project 5 is primarily for the car to be a lightweight track weapon that can put the willies up much bigger prey on short tracks like my local circuit, Castle Combe, but with an almost predictable twist in the tail, I still want the '5 to be able to hold its own on the twisty country roads that surround my home in rural Wiltshire.
