pads took about 1hr to do with the shitty wind-up jack and having to g-clamp all the pistons back

[rb25]

would 345mm rotors fit? i could *possibly* source some AP racing rotors and 6 piston calipers...

[GTS-t VSPEC]

They do have anti-squeal plates in them, you made sure they went back in?

[rb25]

just ordering some rear pads now.... ebc blacks. 80bux - same as bendix....

[rb25]

yeah - there was a plate that covered the whole pad, then a s.s. plate that covered half it and then a little clip on one end...

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Ross, Yeah that's the ones:D

Have to speak to a brake expert, even if the rotors fit, have to modify the caliper mounts etc.

[rb25]

f**k that. im happy with em now....

hey - went for a drive (as a passenger) in a brand new MR2 today.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

And what was the MR2 like?

[rb25]

this guy was going to buy an R33 gt-r. bad mistake in getting the mr2. its a pile of shite. not entirely - it corners so well, but lacking ALOT of power and the tiptronic is awful.

[rb25]

when you change gear it like slows down heaps. enough to push your head forward and then accellarationg out of a ger is sooooo slow. its like a commodore 4 speed auto but 6 speed..... i hate it

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Eww, sounds shit. An R33 GTR would be sooo much better:D

[rb25]

wonder what the 5 speed tiptroni was like in the 33s....

[rb25]

hey - do you know how fast your 33 goes? top speed.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I've got up to 215, but not top speed. About 250/260 I guess.

[rb25]

yah. hmmmmm

[rb25]

what is your suspension setup paul. i.e. sway bars, strut bars, struts etc....

[GTS-t VSPEC]

The roads over here aren't very good for high-speed runs:(

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I have racing coil-overs (too stiff), front and rear strut braces. Need alot of work done to the suspension, including the full whiteline handling kit:D

[rb25]

oohh theyre soooo tempting here. i hit the speed limiter regularly. the m1 between brisbane and the gold coast is awesome. 8 lanes all up. 16 lanes in some places.... but the cops are all over it and its fully covered by cctv.

[rb25]

id like to get suspension sorted first. i think a car with good suspension and reasonable power will do very well around a track like qld raceway.. have to try and see soon - do a bafore and after comparison.
