My 2c, I use the 29s and love them, 2500s I really don't like - upsets many when you say it, they feel like blocks of wood compared to the pagids. Have a heap of bite and feel all through the temp range.

This is track car only though, for the street the pagids are much better behaved though, the 2500 need temp before they quieten down and brake properly.

The pagids for me when cold only make a little tinkle - very quiet, 2500s on our Evo you see people winding up windows and peds hands over ears!

I believe the 29s are an evolution of the 19 or am I mistaken?

Paul,

I didn't think the 2500's were an issue on the street. Worked straight out of the driveway. I was a little concerned about the RS19's being a bit annoying when cold but you say the opposite si that's great!

The guy I spoke to said the RS29's offer a bit more initial bite but all in all they're the same pad.

I will report back.

Not coming to DECA?

Nah they keep organising it same weekend as targa high country so can't make it. Was looking forward to drooling over you car! Spewin

On the 2500s, now I think about it they were actually better with that Alcon kit you have - I had the same kit on my 32, not so nice on the evo. Still pagids all the way for me!

Ah damn :(.

Interesting about the pads with that kit. They don't seem to like too much heat. I have left the rears as is considering the size of the rear rotor (350 mm). I can always change them later on if it feels unbalanced.

So, after Tuesday, it looks like I have broken or bent a tooth in second gear.

Time for another aftermarket gearbox.

PPG straight cut dog box? The OS 5 speed doesn't cut it! :(

it doesn't cut it????

How or more importantly why dud it break

Dunno why it broke.

I pulled the boost down to 1.5 bar (minimum I can run). Came in second session and second gear was knocking. Terry at award thinks its a bent or broken gear.

Dunno when I'm gonna pull it out. I'm a bit heart broken ATM.

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
