What about the Mongrels... what did Josh say they were worth?

they are a really good tyre for what they are... and now in 33 x 12.5... they sound good... some new suspension and body blocks and emma's lux would be looking tuff...

when do you get your big rig Brocky Cutter?

Hey Actually here is another topic for this CQ Performance Thread... I was talking to Darren of 180GO fame and I asked him a few questions about brake upgrades for Clubsprints... He told me that I needed to Take off the Metal backing plates for the disc brakes... now I know this seems obvious but is this a good move for a street car... does it protect the rotor more than it matters... what about does it act like a heat sink ( draw heat from the disc) or does it trap in heat?? I think it traps heat, and I personally think if you brake a rotor you are probably doing the wrong thing in your import (eg. 4x4 competition or something)

what do you guys think?

Also he actually recommended Bendix Ultimate Pads... he said if I had the money go with Endless NA-R but otherwise Ultimates are the Go... I thought there would have been heaps of pads better than the old ultimate... but he seemed to think they were really good for the price... so maybe that is something to think about next time you are crying just thinking about the price of big name Jap brake pads.... stick with the old Bendix Ultimate!!

I'm still chasing interested parties for the trip to Brissy at the end of this month... it will be simply awsome with a few cars punting around the track... and don't think your car is to slow... I can show you some video of a stock early pintara thrashing around the track in Panda Colours... it is really open to ANYONE... JR that means your mirage to...

Actually it would be awsome to have enough cars there to have our own bracket (7 cars) on the track... all CQ motorsports fans...

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
