Sorry jsut the pads themselves. Are they K sport or Ferodo or something? The reason I ask is you can lose initial bite with over heated pads.
-
Sorry if I missed it but what pad compound are you using?
-
Me three. 50mm would be spot on for me.

Few pics taken at Snetterton: also had a look at my stock calipers at the weekend. Dust boots seen better days, but also one of the pistons wasnt gliding smoothly at all. I'll rebuild/refurb them at some point.

Sounds like a plan to me -
Awsome mate

The proof will be when the finished car gets on the scales.... I like my AC too, especially on track days. Will be epic when its all finished though. Can always get one of these for hot days

I took my better half out yesterday in my car for the first time since all the mods were done. She was quite impressed with the grip and lack of body roll. Also she agreed it rides very nicely when moving at speed and better than our Mercedes. Straight line what she was expecting but breaking not so much. Stops very quickly with the AD08Rs She liked the exhaust note too which is a bonus although like me found it a tad loud when cruising at 80upalongs. So good result. My aim was always to keep it family friendly. :-)

I need to use a more aggressive polish before I start using those hardcore sealants! Still some swirls/marks on the paintwork. Hopefully the meguirers stuff will do the job.
-
The bit that I am after is the back half of the box with the pipe and MAF connection. I think Steve wants the front half.
-
Recommendation for a good sealant? I've got Autoglym Extra Gloss protection at the moment. I've also got the high definition wax I was planning to apply at some point (ran out of time at the weekend).
-
On recommendation of a friend I have been using Auto Finesee Citrus Power, sprayed on before washing to soften bugs and grime. It seems to work quite well. Will Tardis remove the paint sealant? I've got Valet Pro Citrus Tar and Bug remover which, to be honest, needs leaving quite a while to soften tar enough to wipe it off.

Cheers for that. I think im going to lower the back about 10mm on mine as it looks a bit odd from some angles and I really dont need any more grip at the front. I think i've decided on the SPC lower control arms. Its not a money thing, but rather Im too worried about the thread that controls the length of the arm shearing off on the convention aftermarket control arms. That would cause total failure whereas the tab breaking on the SPCs will just cause the camber to go out at the back. Its a quick fix with a welder!

and I want the back part that mates with the tube.. @CanaryWundaboy is looking at shipping one to me, so maybe we can sort something out.

Looks good, for a non-orange car. [emoji14] I've always enjoyed the before and after feel of claying - such a difference. I've considered buying a DA polisher, the DAS-6 pro being towards the top of my list. How did you get on with it as a first time user? Lol thanks! Claying is a ball ache but satisfying for sure. How often should one clay ones car? I don't really have anything to compare it with as its the only DA I have used. That being said I couldnt really think of anything that could do with changing to improve the experience. Maybe a clever way to keep the feckin cable out the way. My mate bought it from clean you car with the meguirers package with the two cutting compounts, polishing pads and backing plates. Its the one im going to go for. I still remember the depth of the scratches in his BMW when he bought it and the aggessive cutting compound was able to remove them completely.

@Deacon I wouldn't mind knowing what yours are as mine looks low at the front?
-
This is amazing stuff. Project cars, Abudabi and the 1970s lotus F1 car with all aids off is fun!
-
Drivers side approx 34cm front and 36.5cm rear. Passenger side approx 35cm front and 36cm rear.

The back box is the main silencer. More volume = less loud so it does do most of the sound deadening, especially as this is a chamber type silencer box.

Gave the car a good some much needed TLC. I've never done any "detailing" before but I had a load of autoglym stuff I bought when I got the car 3.5year ago and never used. I started out washing the car thoroughly with autoglym car shampoo using the usual mitt and two bucket methods and drying with a few microfibres. Then I used the Autoglym clay detailing kit. This took about 2 hours but OMG I had no idea how much crap was still stuck to the paint! Highly recommended if you have never clayed your car before. I wish I took pics to show the dirt ut it is rather satisfying to feel the silky smooth paintwork afterwards. I had tried using the Resin polish before by hand and found it needed a lot of elbow grease, so I borrowed one of these from my buddy: Went over the car twice, left to cure a bit, then buffed. Lovely. Next was the Autoglym Extra Gloss protection. Apply with microfibre, let cure for an hour and buff to a gloss shine. And the results and almost forgot to put on the cossy badge

No Mate, but i'll get them if you want. IIRC I measured ground to top of wheel arch when installing the Ohlins. Its lowered about 20-25mm at the front and 15-20mm at the back. Its slightly different on each side as it setup with me in the drivers seat.

Anyone with a Cossie S/C south of London?
Ade replied to Subota Boy's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
I'd bet my left testicle that if you fitted the cosworth kit and used the cosworth designed calibration file, and you blew a rod (thats the weak point) or anything caused by fitting the kit, cosworth would want your car to investigate and get it back up and running for you. They have a reputation to protect after all and wouldn't let a customer go with a bad taste in their mouth. If one of your rockers goes (common problem of the fa20) or any other manufacturing issue then you would be on your own I suspect. -
