So, I bought a V8....

[sejanus]

i think around $300 from memory?

[kabab]

I thought they where more nearly double that... I guess it depends on the size of the brakes..

[TonyJZX]

ferrodo makes many grades of pads though

ds2500 would be what you're after

[AJC13B]

thanks.

soooooooo...

are you gonna chuck a skid at the mardi gras tomorrow?

[HSV Senator]

PS cooler is a must on commondores..
dont expect to do more than 2-3 continuos laps without one.

they are simple to rig up, and i think repco or supercheap sell PWR kits for like $80 or so.

My VXII SS did well over 30 laps around wakefield ( 6 -8 continuous laps a go) with no PS cooler and no problems with the PS for the 3 years I had the car. Having said that it is good insurance for little outlay.

Maybe you should drive it harder senator :D

[sejanus]

no skids at the mardi gras, at a wedding tomorrow. So if you see some gay guy doing skidz in an SS at the mardi gras, it ain't me!!

[Fatboy]

It'll be ALLMTR, probably on duty too... :D

[HSV Senator]

Maybe you should drive it harder senator :D

If you saw the tyres and the brakes smoking after I had ran it you wouldnt be saying that :D Even after two cool down laps when I bought it in everyone in the pits was yelling at me to take it back out

[Bomi]

Do you know how much ferrodo pads cost :D

Hey mate TS 2000's cost about $190, they are not the all signing all dancing ones but they are not stock.

I have used them at EC and WP with great results, they had my 4 rotors glowing at the end of EC's straight with no fade, they are soft and I haqve used an intire front left pad at WO on two separate track days.

Hope this helps.

look who is in the house!!!

welcome Bomi

you will find this place a much more relaxed enviroment than a few of the other places!!

[sejanus]

this car is pretty grunty hey.

on way back from work sat 1am or so i must have met up with some wrx cruise, about 8-9with a few sti's - once they all realised my car had some work it was like it was commodore hunting season.

against the sti's, which had exhaust at least - the commie would hold even off the line in 1st and 2nd and when I went into 3rd it would just leave them for dead.

also on sunday on a quick left hand corner on the old princes hwy, I got the traction control kicking in at 170'ish
