Competition Motorsport is an Authorized Dealer for GiroDisc products, and we are one of the largest stocking dealers in the country. We ship most products same or next business day to ensure we meet your delivery deadline.

The GiroDisc system is an upgrade to a 2-piece steel rotor and 6062-T6 aluminum hat combination and is a direct replacement for the OEM brake disc. The two-piece floating rotor will bolt directly to the car and work with OEM calipers perfectly. By upgrading your brakes with these lightweight high-performance replacements -- as opposed to a big brake kit -- your factory brake bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency. The Giro Disc rotors are lighter than OEM pieces. The reduction in rotational and unsprung weight (4 lbs per corner) allows for quicker acceleration and suspension response.

When used with Pagid performance brake pads and Prospeed RS683 high-temp fluid (both available from CompetitionMotorsport.com), you have an amazing solution to overheating and warping rotors.

The central hat section of the disc is made from 6061-T6 aircraft-spec aluminum. The rotor ring is manufactured in the USA from cast iron and is made to the same specifications with the same materials used by professional racing organizations. The rotors' curved vane design was developed in racing and acts as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc.

The rotor and hat mount together through a floating mount system which utilizes eight to ten high-strength alloy steel drive pins, manufactured by GiroDisc in the USA to our own specifications and cadmium plated for corrosion resistance. The alloy drive pins transfer the load from the brake action while maintaining the axial and radial float between the disc rotor and hat. The pins are secured by Grade-12 cap screws and hardened washers, mounted with anti-noise spring washers to allow for heat expansion while eliminating the rattle and noise usually associated with floating rotors.

The two-piece GiroDisc design allows for rotor ring-only replacement (the aluminum hat is re-used) to minimize future replacement costs and deliver outstanding performance and cooling.

Vauxhall Astra tweaked & Astra GTC BiTurbo diesel

Fri, 15 Jun 2012

The Vauxhall Astra Hatch and Sports Tourer (Estate) have been given a bit of a facelift and the Astra GTC BiTurbo diesel has arrived. It’s probably a bit of a stretch to call what Vauxhall has done to the Astra Hatch and Astra Sport Tourer a facelift, but it’s enough of a tweak for those who’ve just bought a new Astra to be less than thrilled. The main changes to the hatch and estate are a new grill, new indicators and new fog lights; a minor rhinoplasty.

GM bets on new four-cylinder family in Europe; U.S. plans unclear

Wed, 10 Oct 2012

General Motors' European subsidiary, Opel, has revealed a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine that will be offered from early 2013 across its lineup, starting with the soon-to-be-revealed Astra-based Cascada convertible. The aluminum block unit, the first in a new range of so-called SIDI (spark ignition direct injection) ECOTEC engines, forms the centerpiece of the company's downsizing strategy for displacement. The engine is claimed to have improved torque characteristics and a significant reduction in consumption compared with its predecessor.
