i have used bendix before and have sworn never to go back to those pads ever again in my life on any car.....the amount of brake dust it creates is f**king insane.....and the braking performance claimed isnt really there.....well for me it wasnt anyway......QFM A1RM's for street and track so far are awesome......even Lucas are good value

Project Mu have just come out with a new pad called the "Club Racer"

http://www.project-mu.com.au/en/

It sits firmly in between their "Type HC+" and the very famous "H16 03" pads (pretty much an industry standard in pro motorsport events)

The HC+ is probably the most aggressive pad you would want to run on the street but still remains a true street/track pad, whereas the "Club Racer" pad is not as effective on a street car (still OK though) but a killa pad on the track.

As far as the "H16 03" pads go, ask anyone involved in pro motorsport what they think about this puppy.

I ran EBC & Project Mu pads in the R and fell in love with the latter so I'll be going down this road again with the EVO.

are they harsh on rotors Luke?

cause I'm leaning towards a high coefficient pad for track days and the stock Brembo pads for daily..........can't really see how a dual purpose pad will perform at its best in both scenarios (it'll be compromised) hence why I'm leaning towards different pads for each situation rather than a one pad does all deal.

I think that a street/track pad may eventually be too harsh on rotors for daily use and not enough bite on a track once it gets hot....does the Ferodo 2500 fall into this category Luke?

I'm thinking of testing out the new project mu's later on. They are called something else over it japan so I assume there's a big mark up on the Aussie ones. I'll find out prices for those who are keen :yes:

yeah they only get better the hotter they get, depending on which pad you got Kye.

I think the Type HC+ are over $500 for front & rears, the Club Racer pads are around $700 and the H16 03's are around $1000 :(:yes:

yeah let me know what price you can source the Project Mu "Club Racer" pads for a 2010 EVO X MR with Brembo calipers please Luke. :)

Well I just got Dale's Brother Matt from "Growly Custom Machining" to slot my rotors and I'm a very happy boy.

Thought this would be an appropriate thread rather than starting another one.

Matt said that he would give SAU folk 20% discount = $100 for a set (machined front & back)

He has various designs that he can throw on the CNC machine so give him a call.

Too many peeps throw a bucket load of cash under their bonnett then get to Malalla and do shit times cause they can't stop...I reckon $100 was money well spent.

So what are you waiting for??

Ryan, you hit the nail right on the head....couldn't agree more.

If the Club Racer pad hadn't been available (track only), the Type HC+ was def the one I would've used.......and it's a pad that you can drive home with and leave it in there.

Project Mu win in my books but everyone has their faves I suppose.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
