^^ does he even drive it apart from onto a dyno :/

hahaha yeah

they just did it with all stock stuff and he couldnt brake so they upgraded to the slotted rotors and better pads and that made him stop lol mind u this was all on the street too!

the thing is luke, i wont be tracking or dragging her, she will be dyno queen and streeter.

so ill be going with Brembos and maybe EBC Red Stuff brake pads......

Brembos are great, but make sure u get a large rotor to match those sweet calipers

and avoid the EBC Red's... theyre track pads

if you're streeting, stick to EBC greens/bendix ultimates or the QFM pads

ive been told to stay away from EBC greens cause they are too noisy and create alot more brake dust than the reds?

I used Red Stuff on my R and they were brilliant.

Very clean on the wheels too (ceramic pads), unlike Bendix, and can handle both street (low coefficiency) and the ocassional track day without fade (high temp handling).

Were a bit noisy for the 1st 1000km but quietened down eventually and grabbed those rotors hard and fast!

i prefer the dont need to brag about being able to whip your ass at the lights approach.

but then it might get 1 or 2 bogans to accept they cant beat you and not rev you at the lights

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
