Heard a creaking noise from the front brakes. So took the pads out, scuffed them up ( good to do anyway) checked tightness which was fine, cleaned and reassembled using a couple of little dollops of Grease on the pins where it looked to be touching in the caliper. See how it goes. HPX pads are lasting ages compared to the pMu pads.

Are you running 32GTR brakes?

Nice. I was going to say "didnt know they bolted up to muranos" but i didnt. Trying to hold back on the smartassness.

I think even Muranos have two pot front brakes, which is more than your car ;)

Drove down south for new years, filled car up to just a smidge over half a tank.

The drive is 90% freeway driving @110km.

Got home and the trip meter read 406km with tank pretty much empty (fuel light on), pretty happy with the fuel economy considering its not stock anymore.

Next drive over the nullabour?? to give you east coast guys a run :yucky:

^When my petrol light comes on, there's usually 15L left in my tank (assuming it's 80L?). When there's about 10L left, some nice Japanese lady invades my speakers to let me know it's getting near empty. She sounds hot.

Picked up a factory wing from the wreckers. I don't think I'll get it resprayed to match my car. I think the black looks okay, considering the other black adornments on the car. IMO, not worth the hassle of paint matching it.

Also, replaced the factory double DIN stereo fascia for a two single DIN fascia. I'm not 100% happy with the fitment, but it was a rush job as I was going away for the weekend. A few problems: Storage bay clips were snapped, so put in a self tapper to stick them on. As you can see from the pic, the end result isn't great. Also, my new head deck front plate doesn't come down too easily to reveal the CD player. AND the factory screen gets stuck when trying to pop it up :( I will just leave it up for now.

Just remember to drop the gearbox to level the engine for easier(used loosely) access. And a muzzle for the swearing that will ensue.
