    just finished putting all the brakes on the QV back together after the stupidity of a week ago, now getting the wheel nuts rechromed as Giovanni Millard's eagle eyes picked the fact one of them was buggered.

    Had my boy bleed the brakes and he did an excellent job, have never had a better brake pedal height .... something to look forward to Brettski and Scott :)

    Also this time I shimmed the calipers so the pads are perfectly square ....ok master pap ? :)

    EBC greens, had them before and I liked them, also got a set of Bendix Ultimates coming :)

    everyone says Pagid blues but I'll stick with what I've used and found good, they have to still work on the road so you can't go too stupid with the really hot track pads unless you want to change the pads 10 times a year

    Hi Goober,

    As greg246 mentioned I'm doing Targa this year and I'm on the ferry on saturday night as well. I'll keep an eye out for a challenge in the queue to get on the boat.

    Sounds like you have you have the right attitude to the event, so I'm sure you'll keep it on the road!

    Cheers

    Robbo

    Everyone has their favourites Moretts. The guy I ran against always swore by Pagids. I preferred the Ferrodo's DS3000's. They were hard on rotors but stopped the car well. Brakes are only as good as tyres (grip that is) ATEOTD.

    Enjoy your trip to Tassie. Make sure you post pics and keep us up to date please. :) Will try and get donw on Friday to say hello/goodbye. :D

    good pads are IMO.

    This sounds like a challenge (not the 360 type) :)

    I couldn't fix the brakes so we just made the horn louder.
