soooo....

where can i grab brakepads round melb @ a good price asap? have deca on the weekend and i dont think i can do another day on the current ones

looking at pads for track and street duties....

Hamish.

Call GSL rally sport and you'll have them on wednesday from qld.

Get HP-X or the A1RM's for a higher temp pad. I'm using A1RMs and they're good for track work too.

A1RM's are track pads and chew through rotors really badly in cold mornings. I used them on my daily and needed new rotors after 30,000km. After speaking to QFM, they are track oriented pad and will chew through rotors quickly when they are not up to temperature (ie daily driving)

I have QFM HPX pads now which are great for street. Cheaper and better than Bendix Ultimates but I have been told they will not hold after a couple of runs on a track.

For motorkhana/daily driving the HPX will be your best option.

Brakes plus in Highpoint. EBC Reds for teh brembos cost me $600 or so. not too bad and a great pad for street and track, also no icky black dust on your wheels, teh powder stuff that does come from them wipes off with wet sponge due to no metal compounds!

    • 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.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
