i suppose alot of it is down to the bedding in procedure, also so any people don't bother to wipe off the oily protective coating prior to fitting which will contaminate the pads

yea mate brake cleaner. no you dont need to do it again. i have heard of some people with brembos who have intermittant squealing just take the pads out now and again to give them a rub with sandpaper.
get some miles on them (only when youve done your timing belt though)

I clean it today aswell as dropping the old seats off to a mate.seem after I cleaned the induction kit it made the car is now considerable quiter now its so weird even the exhaust is quiter so maybe the induction was just sucking in so much s**t.

i had those wheels on my black 6 and hated the colour contrast but they always look better on someone else's car, could just be red calipers and rallye decals that break it up a bit
Looking better and better though mate

Need some door cards as the door don't close with the padding on



Lovely wheel spacer lots of adjustability Smile

Then the weekend and the up and comming trackday at Snetterton, got the car packed and on the track wheels for the first time







Aero s on





We did cambelt and rich w lower pulley also some carl chambers shinies





Track time for combe booked



Then the day finally getting it out on track and wow the car was amazing can't fault it.13 pages of hard work.can really appreciate the beam rebuild we did and have a freshened up front end.brakes were pretty awesome considering I plan on getting some ds25000.

Also the car db'd at 94 so happy with that.the t1r's were very grippy all though rhe the session I'll let the pictures do the talking

    finally got pictures up of all the bits together also little niggle problems out,had to swap over the icv and pas sensor.
    car rapid now Big grin im also in the process of getting a low boost cooler so I can put the other 10 fans in.

    pugfest was petty epic did 8 runs,water temp was high but the new fans should sort that out and got to get a new charger belt as don't wanna risk it.here some pictures of the last week enjoy Smile







    cooler is quite a size LOL







    massive thanks to carl chamber for fitting the charger and sorting out the stalling problems a day before pugfest.

    so very very happy atm after my new cooler I'll me looking into a diff,(though the charger torque does do a fun job ) some harness bars and some more track time.Oh and my pads are petty cooked anyone hear me at pugfest LOL
