Phillip,

I've got a front set of stock pads with *Jay run's into the other room* about 6-7mm of meat left on them....

Actually, looking at these, I'm not sure if they are stock !! Do the stock pad's have a green metal backing !!!

J

Ummmm, how can I explain this.... The stock pads felt like standard pads, while the EBC's have more intial bite to them.

Bad explaination, sorry :P

One of the reasons I got rid of the stock pads was cause they can be noisey. Sometimes they would squeal when pulling up at the lights. But the front disks were pretty glazed over too, so matbe that had something to do with it???

if jay's arent stock ill have the stock fronts i can sell to you by the end of this week ( getting some ebc greenies then) so make me an offer :D

DJ - you'll like the greenstuffs :P Just make sure you get the disc's machined too. I got about 20% better braking from them...

yer the place im geting them done say i might not need machining, they'ree inspect when i come in or the brakes and if the discs need it they'll do it but they say sometimes they are still good for new pads (i doubt they'd wanna be dodgy as i'd be back quick smart if i ass-end saomeone coz the brakes they fitted failed to pull me up properly)

all places machine the discs to be safe when they replace the pads.. but they don't necessarily need to do.. then they pull you up on "minimum thickness" requiring new discs costing a lot - i think its the greatest scam in the automotive industry.

Yeah, that's true. I remember dropping my old car off for a tune and getting a phone call an hour later saying that all the pads need replacing and the discs need machining. I told him that I checked them a week prior and that he was trying to rip me off !!!

He's responce - oh, we'll check again, they might be OK then !!!

Anyway, Sidewaymambo - I've attached a pic of the pads I've got. Don't worry, I've got 4 pads, only took a photo of 2 of them :P

jay..would you able to see any print on them? just want to make sure they are soft enough..thanks..

I might start a quick thread in the maintanace section to see if anyone has seen stock pads before. I'm nude on this, not sure if they are stock or not - I presume they are though.

There isn't any brand name stamped on them (if the were apexi ones etc, I'm sure it'd have their name stamped all over them - damn rice) :)

The numbers that are stamped on them are 6GXu 236M.

I'll see what I can find out.

J

I haven't had any luck yet with trying to confirm that they are factory pads :P

I've done a search around to see if I can find some pics on the net of stock pads, but again, no luck :D

Not sure what you want to do ???

Cheers

Jayson

mine are definitely stock pads (my car was 100% stock when it came in, ecu wasnt even touched so i doubt the pads were lol) so umm yer im taking my car in tomorrow to get brakes done so ill have them from tomorrow onwards (this is only the front ones)

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
