Finally found time to finish bolting the gtx on. I also replumbed and relocated the eboost solenoid. Self taper is only temp. I ran out of rivnuts in m6 so need to grab some more.
I'll run you car.
If I remove both my legs and half of my left arm we should be able to get the race wieght down to similar to you driving for comparisons sake?
This discussion reminds me of a thread on another forum. Guys posts up pics obtain from one of his camera's of a meth head stealing the every same camera that obtained the pics.
The pics also included the methheads company name on his shirt AND his car's rego number! Arrest followed shortly after.
We've covered this ground 11ty million times so far this month but for my money a decent street pads is the only way to go. My current person preference are the NS400's but to each thier own.
IMHO if you want to track the car, invest in a set of track pads and swap them in for track days (you can do this the same time you set your suspension up for the track....You are setting your suspension for the track arent you??) and run street pads on the street.
IMHO -If you think you can either A: drive around the issues with track pads on the street or B: keep them hot enough on the street you're either A: Kidding yourself or B: driving like a fuckwit on the street.
Nordloc's are the way to go, and don't be tempted to overtighten the studs as they will only strech once hot.
If you want to fit a set of nordlocs let me know, My supplier will sell them indivually at excellent pricing.
Sorry cannot recomend anyone Sydney mate.
Same model and config will work. You'll still need to work throught the process listed above tho.
If I was you I would sitll pursue the Repair option if possible.
Also have a look here if you do go down the replacement list-

It should help you determine if a replacement will be suitbale.
Not when going from manual to manual.
Also going from Auto to Manual requires a touch more than just that ^
To do properly gear ratios need to set, torque management and idle parametes need to be adjust plus a couple of other things.
