Dba 5000 slotted rotors
Braided lines
Dixcel type M pads

With the coils simon just make sure they come with all the locking rings as mine were missing 2. But Bryce sorted it ASAP. You won't be disappointed.

Car is looking sweet and no doubt handling well with all those Whiteline goodies. Nice work!
<EDIT>: Do the pads make much of a difference?

The new brake set up is awesome but as it all went in a once I'm not sure what's made the biggest difference. I would buy these pads again tho purely as they are nearly dust free

Nicley done Tom. :good:

Now to paint your calipers......

Cheers. Maybe worth while then, as I hate cleaning my wheels.

I clean mine weekly, but hate the dust of the current pads. Just about to order some new ones....

I'll get round to that one day. I'll have to do them on the car as I can never get the car off the road long enough to pull it all apart.

Thanks for the positive comments guys

Mate vvvvvvveeeerrrrryyyy nice man. Love the grill and the (lack of) height.

Be interested in what you think of your coils after driving on them for a few weeks.

So one of my Parker globes died the other and I got my replacement sent out by Leo

but then when I removed the old one it decided to fall to pieces as I pulled it out. Now I have one LED stuck inside the blinker assembly which you can now see through the glass as well. Mother F..... !!!

See if you can get it with a magnet.
I had one fall into my tail light cluster and used one of those extendable magnets you can get for picking up dropped tools and such. Got it from bunnings for less than $5. Got it out easily.

You car is looking great Tom. Have you have much chance to play with the damping?

by **HoFF** » Sun Aug 19, 2012 1:47 pm

Cheers Bryce. I've had a little play. Had it half way when installed. It was nice and firm and very responsive but very sudden with dips in the road. I backed it off to 15 from soft and it settled down a lot more with the dips in the road. Now it rides just like the standard billies.

Come track day next month I'll be adjusting it between sessions to really see how it goes.

Soooo I'm thinking about using a tint film on my tail lights.

Any body have any experience or opinions on the subject?

Any products in particular I should get? There is lots to choose from on eBay.

I have a tint on just the indicator section of my tail lights to make it darker. Looks alright.
