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...

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
