I also know all about, readilly availible parts .

they're usually available on the side of the road, after some native has set fire to it, after it had broken down, only for the government to give them a new one.

"double peggers" eh?
Someone misses being engulfed in plooms of fragrant tyre smoke whilst watching the steering wheel do its artfull ballet as the rear end of the car gracefully decides that the opposite direction might perhaps offer a better view.

and the fun is where?
loosing traction whilst your car is have the automotive equivalent of an epileptic fit?
your car valvebouncing at 4500rpm?
buying your next pair of nangkangs on a weekly basis?
starving your brain of oxygen and killing brain cells (whoops...too late!)


well. i guess its what they do best.

8" wide fark! No wonder they scrub! We can do a group buy on whiteline rear sway bar links
no way am I putting a DVD headunit in! But I'll do the rest

They don't scrub!

I thought they would have, It's such a smooth ride! I was blown away.

And maybe i will just go with a nice headunit instead of a DVD

I hope its an auto... Because if you ever drop the clutch you'll snapp the cv's off at the wheels...

I think i will keep the 18's, Meh it's just personal choice. I fitted the rexy wheels to see what they would look like and i wasn't to keen on it. Will be running some upper engine cleaner through it on Thursday arvo.

[Cam.]

Yeah it's an auto, Knee troubles from a cricket injury a few years back make driving a manual for long lengths of time a painful experience I will see how we go with wheels...

Id be interested to hear how the Ferodo pads go. Wondering what they will do to the discs.
Id like B4 or Foz (same caliper, yes???) on the GenIII but it was interesting whats been said about the B4 brakes and the ABS kicking in all the time. Are they really THAT good?? Wont be for a while as Ive just done F and R pads, disc machine and a fluid flush.
One thing Ive noticed with the slotted rotors is that when you grind them to near minimum thickness the slots disappear!

Got the splash tray on! Thanks

Mate, not sure if this question has been answered asn I haven't read this far through the thread yet. I've got B4 from calipers and RDA 294 mm slotted rotors with Bendix Commercial pads. (Yes, Fozzy calipers are the same as the B4 ones)
The difference between the B4 calipers and OEM is quite large. They have a heap more bite and a much firmer pedal feel. However, this story about the ABS kicking in all the time is not true. I found that the ABS kicked in frequently with the OEM calipers. I can't even recall the last time I' felt the ABS kick in now that I've changed to a larger disc and B4 calipers. Do it, do it. You won't regret it at all.

Cheers,
Chris

How do you know the story about the ABS isnt true? You only have the calipers and rotors, not everything else from the B4 like the brake booster and B4 Abs unit etc (im not 100% sure that there different though)

How do I know it's true? Duh....

We're talking about fitting B4 calipers to an RX yes?? We are not talking about the braking characteristics of a B4.

So, in conclusion I know it to be fact as I have fitted B4 calipers and rotors to an RX and there is no problem with the ABS kicking all the time.

Ahh i see, but you said "However, this story about the ABS kicking in all the time is not true" Its still true for the B4 But false for B4 brakes on the RX

[Dylan]

You love to argue a point aye Walts Brendan would be the person to ask about ABS, I reckon he'd know what the braking was like on his b4.
