  1. Confirming its 3000Km on it, im a little interested in the bottom end....

    Would you be willing to show it with the sump and rod caps removed and head off to inspect the bores, bearings, crank journals and oil pump?

    Over bore? Brand of bearings? Built loose or tight? Are the crank journals the factiry size or have they been machined down? 8.5 or 9 to 1 pistons? Standard CP gudgon pins or heavier ones?

    Some high quality pictures may make it worth looking further into, if i like what i see id come over to inspect it.

  2. My Ultimates chewed out the wifes rotors after 15,000Km of gentle street driving, the other 2 cars that get abused have EBC Red Stuff ceramic compound, have done over 30,000 Km and the rotors look like the day i put them on.

    Also with Red Stuff zero dust, the Ultimates turn the wheels black every second day, i got sick of washing rims 3 times a week.

    Sounds like you need to copper or glue the back of the pads in, 2 schools of thought, one is to lube the rear backing where it contacts the piston, the other is to glue it in, either way will stop it.

    Ultimates correctly fitted should not squeal, however they will dust up and chew out your rotors.

  3. That cap Jeff linked back to is exactly the same one i used.

    Leave a little leg on the cap so after you solder it in you can bend it over so the cover fits on.

    Take note that the silver stripe running down the side is the caps negative terminal side, dont put the new one in the wrong way.
