    Bill Pollard just installed F50 brakes on the front & I just ordered the rear F50.

    Next mods will be some race seats, a CF steering wheel, & some black Kinesis rims for the slicks, Tubi straight pipes.

    Got to set something up so I can hear some tunes off my iPod too

    Whats the best upgrade for the Master Cylinder ?

    will have pics after Ferrari Days @ LRP

    William,

    Will your stock wheels still fit over the F50 brakes?

    Not sure about the mastercylinder upgrade, but I'd definitely touch base with Chris Parr, and get some of his knowledge.

    Brembo makes a big brake kit for the F40 that allows it to work with the stock master as well. Anyone interested contact [email protected]

    I installed the Brembo F50 brake kit front and rear and they work great with the stock master cylinder. I had my car on the track and no overheating of brake fluid. The vanes in the rotors seem to solve that problem. I am using Kinesis 18" rims and the improvement in handling is immense over stock. The Tubi performance exhaust is fine. Racing exhaust is too noisy in my opinion.
