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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
