I have the slotted RDA rotors and QFM pads. The car stops so much better now. Cost around $600 from GSL Hopefully I make it to the next SA cruise if you want a look.

At least 1.

Hopefully I can make this one, I can bring my son too seeing that it's a family cruise.

Some before and after shots would be awesome dude! I would like to go something like this when I get off my arse and get some mulla together .

Doh! Cheers for the heads up. I will take it back, hopefully have the receipt still.

Anyone used a K&N filter? Picked one up the other day from ABarn and it is a fair bit smaller than the Ryco (as in tiny!)

Yeah, I went to Liberty a couple of weeks ago, went to fill up with the 100 that I had been using. . . The Pump said 98 and the bowser said 100??? I went in and spoke to the manager and he said they were in the process of changing all the signage over to 98 as the fuel was not actually 100. Not sure if it never was or if it was then changed back?

So do you you have any hard figures on economy. i.e. average L/100km before and after with at least a full tank on each test?

Hopefully my accountant can get creative Any approximate cost on the full system? I saw their dump pipe alone on ebay was like $600! Prospect is sort of on the way home for me. Work in Kent Town, live NW so would be easy to catch up. Let us know when you have your new muffler is on (i don't want too loud) Cheers

I'd be interested in seeing the results, what area are you in BigKev? Still deciding on exhaust or a set of rims at tax time?

too slow :-(

Mine has an alarm but the key turns it off. i.e. If I open the car doors with the key only, the alarm goes off. Then if I put the key in the ignition the alarm turns off.

Correct. My mechanic performed the bedding process for me (good guy). Speaking of which if you are after an import in Adelaide I am very satisfied with this company (see details below). I bought my Stagea through Vince and the after sales service has been excellent. I would definitely recommend! But back to the point.... From the DBA document: "After step 4 (bedding in) your new disc rotors &/or pads are ready for normal use. Be aware that the full bedding in process can take up to 300 – 500 kms depending on driving style. During this period try and avoid any high speed hard braking to a dead stop."

Doh. I was hoping to see some M35's on the dyno this weekend. BigKev, did you get your dump and exhaust on?

Finally got my RDA slotted rotors and QFM HPX pads fitted on the ARX I must say the car stops much better now. So I am pretty happy with the result. I haven't had a chance to try heavy braking yet as this is to be avoided for the first 300km apparently.

Cheers, May be worth selling but it's always good to have a spare set.

I still can't get better than 11.8 l/100km. This was my last tank which included a trip to Monarto and a trip to Victor Harbour (about 300-400km of highway). I wish I could get 10! Maybe ARX will get worse economy because it is heavier and runs higher PSI?

what are ARX rims worth approx? Just wondering whether it is wothh selling them when I get new rims or keeping them as a spare set. They are in very good (as new) condition

Thanks man. Will do

Cool. Cheers guys. I was thinking it might be my transmission as it doesn't seem to be very smooth. When I am accelerating in "D" it doesn't seem to change gears very smoothly. Does anyone else get that (is it an M35 thing) or should I be worried.

Hi all, Does anyone know what the "A" inside a square displayed next to the trip/ odometer? Is it something to do with a trans service... I am not really sure what to search for on here? Cheers

So are you one of the guys that did or didn't notice power and or efficiency gains?

Cheers Andy. Awesome car by the way.... I love your silver ARX!!!

I am interested. Who on here has them already?

My last tank was Shell V Power and I got 13l/100km. I am back to the 100 RON from United now. It feels like I get more power (this may be placebo?) but economy is definitely better. The last time I used this fuel I got 12.3l/100km. This current tank seems to be going even better (after a run to the Barossa up the Northern Expressway), guessing from the position of the fuel gauge I reckon I will get close to 12l/100km.... I think I will be sticking with this 100 RON stuff as there is a United on the way to work. Only $1.49 when I filled up on Sunday too.
