Oh I believe him all right (he's been very helpful during my engine swap
as well) - just wanted to get the learned opinion of the list.

Yeah, I've been thinking about Ferodo.  The Repcos are nice, but they take
a fair amount of time to get warm.  I guess this means that my brake upgrade
is now officially for sale; I'm asking $300 (negotiable) for the 10.1" discs,
calipers and barely used Repco MMs.  I really do like them (and Iain promised
not to protest them until I actually become remotely competitive) but getting
the right wheel/tire combo is very high on my list (right after actually
getting the 1.8 installed, that is).
