nice driving james question: I know you run 15x7 +20 with 195/50 but do you run any spacers in the rear at all?

[@Jims_racing]

Im 15x7 et13 195/50 👍🏼 no spacers. Just bought a set of 205’s to try!

[@ianmcmullen8535]

Nice driving mate! What lap times were you getting?

[@Jims_racing]

thanks mate, no idea, I didn't time it.

Hi, which brakes setup do you have and would you recommend stock brakes for a first track day in the mk2 golf?

[@Jims_racing]

Hi, these are g60 brakes 280mm, grooved dics and CL RC8 pads, using ate type 200 fluid. For your first track day, i would buy a set of pads and change you fluid to something that can take more heat - id do this as a minimum! Any standard brakes particularly standard pads will last you all of a lap before you lose the pedal.

[@the_carr_fan]

@@Jims_racing Cheers James. I was thinking of doing the pads. Will add fluids to the list 🙏

Hello James! No recent update on clubgti. Do you still keep the 8V for this season?

[@Jims_racing]

Hello! ClubGTI is up to date. I just havent written the report from this trackday yet 👍🏼 but otherwise its up to date. Yep the 8v is staying for a while 👍🏼

[@ads13998]

@@Jims_racing you are right,I have seen it now. For the rear calipers, you only needed the caliper or also the mounts/ whole assembly ?

[@Jims_racing]

@@ads13998 no the mk4 rear calipers bolt straight on 👍🏼 as do the standard mk2 handbrake cables

[@ads13998]

@@Jims_racing Thanks for the info. on my 8v gti, rear right one has an issue with the handbrake assembly being locked (something similar with what you have described). Have some new cables just to find them calipers :)

@@ads13998 Los problemas de agarrotamiento de pinzas traseras en los golf mk2 son muy comunes. Poniendo las pinzas de mk4 adios problema 👍
