Looking good Frayz 8)

Question regarding the brakes:

How many miles have you done on the new brakes? As it takes circa 200-300 to bed them in, and DS2500's need to also be bedded in properly and taken thro a few heat cycles before they work properly. On my old 4 pots once bedded in and I made them smoke once they were pukka, and managed a whole lap of the ring without much grumbling.

I am not saying they are the best pads ever, but they certainly are a good compromise between road and track pads.

It doesn't quite ring true that they would fade on the road, especially running 6 pot AP's :? :?

That diff guard looks rather different to how it came out of the box. You've made a very nice job of that. Obvioiusly too much spare time. :-D

It looks superb frayz. :thumb:

I was chatting to zak about the diff guard and he said it wont look so shiney once he has used it to jack the car up a few times

:lol:

Frayz,

The brakes,engine work and coilovers are going to make your car awesome. Well Done

And good work with the rear diff guard looks much better now.

Cheers guys,

Just done a bit more on the diff guard, looking even better now. Yeah Dunc, i know Zak will use it to jack on, as long as the rear bit stays nice

Blacky, Zak bedded them in but whilst out mapping we had 2 or so 130mph to 20mph stops and they hated it.

Got some DS3000s on the way now anyway.

FMIC after the coilovers then hopefully have teh engine outthis winter for a few changes

Blimey Frayz, the underside of your car is cleaner and shinier than my bodywork and yours come to that. :-D
