haven't had a look yet but my ex used to do them at home so can't be too hard right?

hah yeh try to get ANYTHING done right before easter long weekend.. not happening.. seems easier to do it myself as usual, besides then when something is fckd I know what it is :) I don't have to go back in there 500 times to get them to fix their crap...

i have never seen a car u can change a pad without removing the caliper. Do they exist?

Look its pretty easy

remove wheel

undo 2 bolts that hold caliper on and remove

unclip and remove pads

push pistons back in, helps if you remove the reservoir cap

put in new pads and refit calipers

also, if I don't take it to a good friend.. they will *guaranteed* tell me I need new rotors, whether I do or not, AND I need to mount a speedboat onto my radiator fan because otherwise a wheel bearing will go flying out of the passenger footwell and take out the fuel pump on it's way..

If I even try to argue that logic a little bit then they become defensive real quick.. randoms are unable to do exactly what they're asked and only that.. guaranteed they will find an african elephant in an intake pipe that needs a new turbo to fix, because I'm a woman, what would I know??

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
