Does look nice, just be wary of those braided brake lines Mark, my old house mate had a set that looked exactly like that (and I mean they look identical), and they bubbled out in 6 months. Didn't split courtesy of the braid, but still lost a lot of pedal pressure. Looking forward to see these once you've refurb'd them!
Cheers,

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.
MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.

Id love to fit Brembo's (already had a complete set ready to go) but dont want to change my wheels and these will fit.
Forgive my ignorance Mark, but these look like Brembo calipers so how do they fit where Brembo's don't?
Is it because they run on a smaller rotor?
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Looks like they're a one size fits all type caliper with adapter brackets bolted to them specifically to fit 294mm rotors. Versus an OEM Brembo with the mounting points cast into the rear caliper housing.
Doin it my way.

More than likely I wont use them but get an ADR complied set made locally.

Theyre an Endless caliper. Just have Tommy Kaira on them instead of Endless. Thinner rotor and thinner caliper means less wheel clearance required.

6 pot Brembo's utilise a radial mount design also.

Steering wheel arrived so I could swap my horn pad to a black momo centre - personal preference, and I could replace the plastic trim that had the cruise control buttons on it.
Had no airbag module fitted and the airbag module was larger on mine so wasnt a straight swap. I had to do a complete strip down to swap just the horn pad.
No more cruise buttons.

Vic Roads have released a couple of roadworthy warnings in regards to the braided line in their updates to testers. Hence why they fail in Vic .
All braided lines fail in Vic? Clarification and elaboration please.

I know of the above, moreso asking Snowball to clarify his statement as it seems that he was eluding to all braided lines fail in Vic.
My last three cars have been sold and roadworthied here or upon registering interstate with Goodridge braided lines fitted.

I think he just meant that its something RWC testers are taking extra notice of. Like the JDM HIDs

Not a concern if they lines meet ADR's.
As per my previous post "More than likely I wont use them but get an ADR complied set made locally."

Hmmm if you're using the e4300 amp, and still using the ducts, I should be able to use my ducts with the hd900/5
I should just convert to single, right?As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"
