New Tarrox Discs, Pads and Fluid

And the upgrades begin.

5 August 2025

A few tweaks to make Enzo even better

It didn’t take long after our track day at Anglesey for Enzo to receive his first upgrade.

The standard brakes had coped well, but once we started pushing harder, they were getting hot pretty quickly.

I decided to upgrade to Tarox discs, pads and brake fluid, with the work carried out by a trusted local mechanic.

The aim wasn’t to turn Enzo into a track car, but to improve the braking setup for the next time we ventured onto a circuit while keeping him just as enjoyable on the road.

One Anglesey lesson put into action, with the tyres next on the list.

How did the Tarox upgrade work as doing the same on mine next week.

Really pleased with them. They made a big difference when I took Enzo to Silverstone in May. The standard brakes had been getting hot once I started pushing at Anglesey, and with the Tarox discs, new pads and fresh fluid (wth higher boiling point) they felt much more consistent and gave me a lot more confidence. On the road they're just as easy to live with, no fuss at all. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with yours. P.S. Loving Olive by the way, great story about the competition and nice to see all the trips you've been doing. Cheers, Dave

Will let you know how I get on with them. Olive is poorly at the moment. She is in the garage. Delivering a new BCM there tomorrow so hopefully she will be back soon. Dropping off the new discs pads and fluid off at same time whilst its there they can get them fitted

Black, silver or gold?

Three different looks for Enzo, but which set of wheels suits him best?
