okay, i understand that much, but how actually do you modify the pad? any pics etc? or is it a 'industry secret'?

saw a burgundy R33 (Insomniac?) up in Maroochydore today.

*subscribes*

wow, these sound like a great idea! i wish i'd known about this approx a month ago as i just bought new standard size DBA4000 rotors just a quick question though... i see you've been talking about modifying the pads so that it retains optimal face contact with the rotor - what exactly does this involve? i'm not quite understanding how you can use the same size pad as a 280mm rotor and get more face contact? or am i missing something here?

Spotted Ryan (RYN26) approx 15 minutes ago turning onto High Street, Toowong. i waved, he waved back with a look on his face like "um... who are you?"

yeah, see it all the time up here... usually a cop in civilian clothes filming cars etc.

in this case RACQ wouldn't have helped him much... they would have seen that the problem was due to an accident and anal raped him even more... (this is because their roadside assistance doesn't cover accidents) i.e. when my hicas lock bar snapped, they claimed it was due to an accident (it wasn't) and wanted to charge me $350 to tow the car 5km home, because that is their "accident" callout rate

yeah, they failed to invite me as i don't have anyone to swap

oh yeah... ur flatmate.... the copper.... chick right? she hot? single? have hot friends? (other than the one you're tryin to score with )

nightshift mate... nightshift.... during the day i can't really use the interweb, but at night (after about 8pm) the calls die off and u have to find something to entertain yourself

dude, it's on the 22nd, so not this week.... unless you're talking about something different that i don't know about?

um... is it tomorrow night?

how hot is the 18/yo?

bah... i still got another 40 minutes at work

hrm, i'm tired.... won't be home until 1am, then i gotta be up at 9 *sigh* col, feel free to make me a prototype plenum for the RB20

Orgies! oh... wait... u said forgies

no, but i was just writing a reply to you about that! sounds like a good idea, if you've got the time and equipment available to you... however, what you have to take into account is the airflow dynamics of it (and don't ask me, 'coz i wouldn't know stuff all about equalising the amount of air that each cylinder receives.) its not as simple as welding the throttle body to the front of the plenum and bob's your uncle (i'm sure u know this though )

i'm at work until midnight!

now me and ronald mcdonald are gonna have to rip open the counter, and replace the onion rings he fried!

wow, talkative lot you are!

"You never had me.... just like you never had your car" SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP biatches!?

i wouldn't worry too much about it... however, if that happens, you should keep driving the car to let the brakes cool down... get some airflow to them... don't stop and put the handbrake on or you risk warping the rotors....

it has between 1/2 and 1/4 of a tank, so it still has a fair bit of fuel in there (i normally take it down to about 1/4) i will fill up with petrol on the way home though and see what it's doing... i might do the fuel pump wiring mod, and get it tuned on the dyno again next week sometime....

Hi all, i'm probably just being overly cautious here, however, i noticed just before that the sound that my Walbro intank pump makes has changed today. it is probably only 3 or 4 months old (tops) and it usually makes the normal aftermarket fuel pump whirring noise, yet i noticed just before, when i moved the car, that the noise has changed. i can't describe how it has changed, other than it being a bit louder, and the noise seems to be a bit 'deeper' in note... does it sound like anything i should worry about?

all the defects last week (i.e. big swoop by the cops) wouldn't have had anything to do with it?
