i was in melb from friday and got back tonight :banana:

just HAD to take the 33 out for a drive after leaving it sit for 3 days :angry:

so glad im home now , got so bored at grandparents house :bunny:

we got into Melbourne at hmm 10pm (Vic time).

yeah we left our car parked at the Crown Casino the whole time, too much walking

back and forth, but it was great.

on the way back from parking the car me and my mum walked past 2 guys, 1 said

"what do i do?" and the other guy said "well what you do is ask how they are and how there

night is"

i friggin pissed myself laughing coz well practicing what to say to a girl to pick her up :nyaanyaa:

i miss Melbourne :rant:, i didn't get homesick so yay

well got all the turbo and all piing etc put back on, gave it a quick start

to make sure it still runs :banana:

only thing i noticed is a big amount of smoke :nyaanyaa:

hope its just cos it hasnt been started in ages.....

gotta tighten up all the cooler pipes and final bits ' n peieces, add some coolant

and it shouls be done...... i hope.

all this for one bloody gasket.

Has anyone done pads on the rear with only 2 of the halves having metal tangs in the corner of the pad while the other 2 halves don't?

Anyone knows if it matters whether the pad with the tang goes on the inside or outside of the rotor?

Sample pic only, off a different make of vehicle;

ahh good stuff Luke thanks....I better get back out there and finish off now.

Doing the rear coilovers tonight as well and the fronts tomorrow hopefully.....will post up pics later.

EDIT: Just looked at your pic Luke, that looks more like an anti-squeal shim that goes across the back of the pad......is that what you were referring to or were you talking about the small tang on the bottom corner of the pad?

The tab is just the wear indicator. As 4 piston calipers should wear evenly (equal pressure on both sides and no sliding pins that lock up) it doesn't really matter where it goes.

It's the thing that squeals so you know that your pads are close to worn out before they actually are and you have metal to metal contact

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
