Brakes are very very good. They dont feel super touchy or sensitive like the feel of brakes on a small lightweight hatch for example (but I have always been a gradual / trail braker anyways so it suits me just fine) and really only start powering on from about 10% in. They are very powerful and bitey from there on though and have impressed me greatly with their ability to pull the car up in what I still visually think would take twice as long (and this is without even stomping down on them in a panic brake). So overall very impressed with them over stock brakes with upgraded drilled rotors that I ran previously. I chose the sport pad option from D2 and while they are quite dusty thus far I cannot really frame a judgement on that as I have been braking a hell of a lot of late to "bed them in nicely". So really I have been concentrating a lot more on that in the few drives since installing them and not a true representation of "normal use" The calipers are huge and only just cleared the insides of my wheels so definitely something to think about when going bigger !

Bringing this thread back to life ! Brake and suspension upgrade ✅ Went with a 356mm 6 pot brake kit from D2 Australia and HSD monopro coilovers

Leds arrived....

Philips Red Led Brake Light S25 P21/5W 1157 BAY15D 12836 2 Dual Brightness AU Supercrap wanted $57 for two ! Basically got all four for cheaper than that ! Also got some generic brand ones for indicator and reverse - will update on specs when they rock up.

Dan got back to me and said he isnt supplying anymore. In the meantime I have ordered replacement LEDs online for stop/tail, reverse and indicator so as soon as that arrives I will swap the globes and fit it up. Keen to see what it looks like on the car.

Thanks for the heads up Will keep looking...online is going to have to be the go to option I think !

A few quick pictures of what the car looks like at the moment

Painted...now to find LEDs...is 666Dan still supplying them??

The furkid has also grown !!

I am back folks ! Wooohooo Picked up a set of tail lights with tinted lens (thanks Gav). Going to get some LEDs as I suspect the exisiting globes might not cut it in bright daylight with the degree of tint on it. Then paint and will be ready to swap with the current set. Should be different and blend into the black better (though I do kind of like the red circles constrasting against the black paintwork)

Latest addition and one of the reasons why I still have no time for car stuff.....

Hey, I have started a facebook page called CARtooonz where I will be posting pictures of my latest work. At the moment I am doing it for fun but plan to start taking orders if I find enough interest / if it takes off. Will be relatively cheap as I am no pro but do it as a hobby. Feel free to have a look and give me your feedback. Thanks, http://www.facebook.com/CARtooonz

Night fury is still going strong.....just that I have no time / spare cash to put into projects right now. Took this last week.

Good progress...keep at it

Big thank you to my sister for this present......fits quite well right there and adds character to the car in a unique way. NIGHTFURY P.S. It is sooooo hard resisting the constant urge to spend a big chunk of the house savings on the car....seriously - massive effort right here !!!!! So many good deals keep popping up...I have so many plans....I miss working on the car etc. Stay tuned though....another four five months and I will be back with many many many many plans and projects.

Completed.....previous pic is without the front grill

Was bored and miss working on the car so sketched it instead

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone !! Similar to the latter stages of 2014 this year too is going to be pretty low key for Night Fury as I am busy saving up for a new house. Plan to keep it simple and do a few things here and there but nothing major. Famous last words however - HAHA Picked up a set of stockies from Amir and I owe him a big box of favourites which I had forgotten to take with me when picking them up. Hopefully I will catch up with him on the 22nd of this month when I go to watch him tear up the track. Thank you Amir Giving them a good clean up.

One funky sunset and suddenly my potato wants to become a camera ! Still a potato Also gave the headlights a good clean up since it has been ages since they were done... This is a close up to show how it has yellowed and lost clarity Slowly getting a lot better....
