Na, tampered on Saturday. As much as i dislike tampered events and really do like the wrx club events, rexmas is untimed and more of a family day thing. I really want to test my new brake setup out, so the choice is clear. For the record, the reason i dislike tampered is because they wont accept cams licences and make you buy their own licence these days + they book in a million cars. I'll wear it this time, just because i want to test the brakes. dream boats.

Got some pads for the stoptechs, thanks to mr @Dose Pipe Sutututuwho pulled some strings and got me a set of the development pads Intima had for the st40 callipers in the new type D V2.0 compound. Not sure what the difference is between v1 and 2, maybe mr dosepipe can chime in and comment. Enter Type D Version 2.0 Will hopefully put the stoptechs and the v2 pads through a torture test this Saturday at Sandown if the weather holds up and see how they stack up compared to the stock sumitomos and v1 pads. Will update with results if it happens.

Please wash your mouth out with soap and refrain from making horrible sensible suggestions in future. Lol.

Considering its internal gate, i think the result isn't too bad at all. If you where to go external off housing or even better, the manifold you would get a fair gain. Since e85 is a no go for you, you could consider water/meth injection. trevz in wa runs it on his 33 and ute i believe, you could get some pointers from him if you wanted to investigate that route.

I thought that too but then discovered app has a mind of its own and wont let you attach images whenever it feels like it.

#6 Fit LS1[emoji6]

Where was this from? Associated tyre service, Cheltenham, Victoria. I found them and got that price through the tyrecompare.com website. When i called randomly they said 225 but then i pointed out the website price which they honoured.

How much where you quote? I paid 205 each fitted for 265/35/18

Where abouts in Melbourne?

Start at around 28 and aim for 34-36 hot. Those hot pressures worked ok on my boat. Sil may work on slightly lower but id say try the high first and then see what happens if you drop to say 32.

8k cash in hundred dollar bills. I come pick up now... Soz couldn't help myself. Lol.

Managed to install these a couple of hours ago. Fitted up perfectly and bled easily enough with the help of the mrs. I just slapped in some benshit ultimates in as they came with the kit until i decide on a suitable pad. I would go with intima type d but they don't make it atm. Ive been told by the dose man that they are going to and are currently testing a prototype for this calliper. The pad used is the same as mid 90's porsche 911 turbo. Im tossing up wether to just run an intima sr, project mu hc800 or just go full yolo baller spec $$$ and splash out on a set of pagid rs29 endurance pads. Went for a test drive to bed the pads in. Im happy to report the pedal feel is fantastic with the stock bmc and the front/rear bias also feels pretty spot on. One of the reasons i went with the stoptechs is because they match the piston sizes in the calliper to suit the bmc in the car the kit is designed for. They nailed it. Surprisingly the benshit ultimates have some pretty good bite on initial application. I think i might keep these as street pads. Specs for the discs are 2 piece slotted stoptech airtech rotors 332 x 32mm.

Made a decision regarding brakes and pulled the trigger on these Will be installing soon.

Kids these days...

Thats good news mate. You must be relieved.

Yeah the car has been doing well and is largely in the same configuration as when you last saw it. Knock on wood it keeps holding together. I think its time to throw some money towards the braking department though. I have a plan that is being worked on atm.

I regularly flog mine at track days and there is no leakage to speak of. Bought and filled just under 2 years ago.

Thanks[mention=5910]Dale[/mention] FZ1, most of the kerbs at Sandown have bitumen behind them. It helps a lot riding over the one above, enables the car to remain almost straight and ready for braking into dandy rd corner, slowest corner of track.

Video doesn't work on my phone. Cant see whats going on. Sorry.

Hypergear highflowed stock turbo will give you a bit more and will hold boost better up top and is direct bolt on. Power does tail off around 6500rpm but can make around 250-260rwkw and costs around $900 which you will be able to get a fair bit back on when you decide to do your desired setup and sell it off. Only negative thing about it is its journal bearing. Still works good. I have one, made 260kw on 98 and 312 on e85.

Air in the system. Try bleeding it using the funnel in the rad technique with heater set to hot and running on full. Google again will show you what you need to know. Is it a turbo engine?

If its indeed bubbling over because of head gasket and not just air bubbles, it will be exhsust gasses getting into cooling system. A tk test should be able to confirm. Google tk test for explanation. I would be making sure its been properly bled first. Head gasket replacement with labour will be a lot of $, 2-3k depending how far you go with servicing head, replacing timing belt, head studs and associated bits and pieces.

What they're advertised for and what they sell for are 2 different things. As said in the first reply its what the market is willing to pay. Imo, if it's nice and neat, 7-10k sounds about right. If its absolutely immaculate and flawless with very low km then it could be worth a bit over 10.

You guys should try Melbourne, the non courtesy capital. Its like everyone purposefully gets in each others way down here. All you can do is shake your head and think why...

Also having the issue, sometimes can upload pics sometimes cant. Sux big time
