Merlin

I own a Dec 2007 build BFII2.5 XR6T ex police car - as such it is factory fitted with what seems like larger front calipers and slotted rotors (I'm not sure if this is the "premium brake upgrade" or the cops got something different). I will need new brake pads (soon) and possibly rotors (maybe in 6 months) and am trying to work out what sizes I need. I tried to measure the rotors - its really hard to get an accurate measurement as the tape goes over the hub and adds length - I tried it from behind the rotor and the best I can say is somewhere between 320-330mm. I don't want to take the caliper off to remove the rotor as I'm sure I'll stuff it up somehow and have to bleed the things. I don't know if this helps but I can see its a PBR caliper and it has "K247-259C7" stamped on top of it. The bottom of the caliper/pad measures 132mm (see crappy paint drawing I did below). I also measured the thickness. It looks as if factory new thickness is 28.0mm, my verniers show mine are down to 26.4mm. Is this OK? Can someone please enlighten me - I have read so many threads on this and other forums all with differing info...

Given that the rear bar has a cutout on the right hand side and none on the left does this mean you have to cut the left of the rear bar to fit this exhaust?

Yeah thinking of plugging it in to the 3.5mm plug - your right the boosted cable plug is 'male' but could you not use a male/female adapter (like $5 from dick smith) to get it to work?

Just became the new owner of a BF2 XR6Turbo ZF and first thing on the list to do is getting my Nokia to go handfree for work. Options I can think of is 1) Ford blutooth kit ($500 ouch); 2) Universal bluetooth kit like Blueant ($100 but fiddly) 3) Some sort of Nokia car kit (I'd prefer wireless though). At the same time I was looking at the mp3 adaptor kits so I can buy an mp3 player to listen to my music - did some research on here and it seems I need the "boosted" cable to get decent sound ($130 from ASL or $85ish ebay). This got me thinking - if I had this mp3 cable adapter (3.5mm socket) does this mean I could buy some sort of a bluetooth dongle (with 3.5mm connector) like this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-Bluetooth-3-5mm...%3A1|240%3A1318 Would this allow my bluetooth enabled Nokia to go handsfree as well as stream songs from the phone saving me buying an mp3 player?

on the roll, same outcome....sleepy stuff...yeah riiighhht, no one wants to run anyway they just sulk off, except for echo drivers! Motards though mmm tasty, wouldnt mind me one of them would need an xr6t ute though to chuck it in the back of....best of both worlds

Spend a bit more and you'll be beating some of the quicker bikes too. You should see the looks on their faces. Priceless!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> clearly these guy's can't ride Chooka <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I have had numerous runs with my mates Injected R1 with yoshi(no power commander) Rolling run from 100kmh(ON PRIVATE ROAD OF COURSE) He would clutch his bike and I could hold him till 200kmh,which is when I hit overdrive and he then passes me. So to answer Sutty post. Yes you can hold your own with 1000cc inline Jap bikes. My 2 cents <{POST_SNAPBACK}> mwhahahhah funny sh*t! Seriosly mate I would be finishing a cup of tea by the time you changed into second. And I ride a stock CBR600 and have run 10.99 at the Creek. Tracks dont measure 0-100 but roadtest show 0-100 in 2.7 seconds. A 1000 would kill you sorry. As for the T I would back it against most cars under $80K. Cheers.

If you care more about looks instead of performance why not a second hand GT? IMO a better looker than the T, though personally I would go the T (only because I rate performance ahead of looks)

What a fuggen tosser (not you the other guy). A heap of accidents in the nasho due to people cutting corners there - if you can't take a corner without cutting it get some driving lessons or go to the track Nice read though seems like you had more power on the exits, he had better brakes.

No worries, I found it hard to beleive when it was actually happening but now that I find out the auto has only 139kw its not really surprising anymore!

Dunnu but I have no reason to BS - my usual ride is a CBR600 Myabe it was an auto RX8 - don't they have less power?
