What work has been done to your 34 Clint?

I have been meaning to ask as I am still upgrading mine and trying to work out what I am going to do next / where the line to stop upgrading is.

pending on the model you have, RDA's will set you back a bit more possibly. i paid around 550 for the fronts and 450-500 for the rears for a 34gtt. they were the slotted and dimpled ones though, so the normal ones they have may be had at a good price. RDA are also reluctant in giving out prices, but as smitty said a bloody good rotor, i much perfer these over DBA.

Pads, i use ProjectMu B-Spec, nice pad, used in sprints as well as daily. They've seen about 6 rack days and my car gets used 5-6 days a week and they still have decent meat on them. they get squeaky from time to time, but normally a bit of spirited driving fixes that up. only other pads i've used are bendix ultimates, not to bad for street use, not real flash on the track.

got everything done on the Beetle this morning, and picked up a dog kennel from Palmwoods yesterday.....(interesting drive).

But i havent got to checking my rear brakes. i've never been a fan of any form of Bendix pads. they've always been dusty, noisy, or plain just dont work well. they now have the self bedding pads (not sure how long theyve been around for). ralf got a set for the front of his car. theyre not in yet so dunno how they are.

i might try those Project Mu jobs then, as my car does alot of daily driving.

as for rotors, yeah Bob it sucks if you need to buy em. but the new ones should def last for a while.

the breaks on mine feel fantastic, so i dont think i'll need new rotors any time soon...hopefully

well i found some rda ones on ebay for 460 for front and r

ear slotted. I think that is what i will get. I will just see if i can get them cheaper from work. After 2nd lot of happy laps by brakes are spongy as hell.

This week hasn't been decided yet, we could go either location what do you guys want to do?

I'm not stressed either way but I will be on call.

Let us know castledine or morayfield.

Looks like Castledine it is,

For those that don't know:

We (the northie's) meet at the southbound BP on the Bruce highway in Morayfield at 7pm on Wednesday night and then head down to the Castldine shopping village for pizza capers (corner of Beams and Gympie Roads) we are usually all there and eating by 7:30PM

Has anyone had any experience with RDA Extreme brake pads? The research i have done has been positive. I was thinking about EBC greenstuff but someone said due to my 98% street driving i might glaze the pads as im not using them that hard

Just putting it out there, on the "northside" forum, that im looking desperately for a housemate. I can afford $380 a week rent on my own, but dont expect me at any meets, i'll be the one at home eating 2 minute noodles. Someone can have the master bedroom with ensuite in a furnished 4 bedroom place with huge yard for 190 a week and halves in bills. If you're looking, or know someone who is, please get in touch.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
