            I have a pit crew of one - he doubles up as sponsor and driver

            The front pads looked a bit thin at the start of the day (just less than the backing thickness on both sides) but the driver side pads went away REALLY fast as the day went on. The passenger side pads still had about 5mm vs the 1mm (or less ) remaining on the driver side. The rotor scouring on th driver side is much worse too

            Here's a pic of the extended strut

            The negative camber isn't very noticable - visually

            • Thanks for your concern Dylan, but all is ok with me just the car has a few issues, soon to be repaired and better than ever.

              Cheers Van

                • he cut the stone guard flap out of the PD160 induction trumpet.

                  If he's really cool, he'll move to a cone-in-a-box setup for more noise...

                      • Yeah, the PD160 + flapper delete + Cone in a box + Tune really turns the induction noise up.

                        The problem is my exhaust is VERY loud so that sort of blocks it out.

                            • Cone-in-a-box with a 90 deg adapter really livens the intake sound up!
                              It sounds like I have a vent-to-atmosphere diverter

                                APR 2.5" downpipe with highflow cat.
                                Getting its flexpipe replaced on Friday as it developed an annoying hole.
                                This is repair number two after the bracket divorced with the pipe 6 months ago.
