It's a BF btw.

Oh yeah...my bad...you're prob right cause don't know much about b series :P

At least if you make more it will be a pleasant surprise lol

Just wait for pads to bed in then re bleed brakes again.

This made a Hugh difference in pedal feel for me, and is now spot on.

Also what brake fluid you use?

Cheers Mick! That's a relief...it actually started gripping a little better on the way home, so I'm sure you're right :)

how long after til new flush? Cause they did a full flush apparently...but I will re-do and hopefully be even better..

And I just went with their stupid recommendation for fluid (so unknown but prob cheap stuff)...even though I knew I should have gone something decent...but apparently according to them "all dot 4 fluid is basically the same" lol

At least when I do another flush I'm only wasting cheaper stuff (more than likely anyways).

I was thinking I should just stick to nulon...if their oil is good...hopefully their other products are too? Or should I just go super stuff? Like the castrol one or penrite or something?

What did you use?

It's a BFII 2008 model. So it has the typhoon bottom end and whatever else they improved with it. Good to know you made over 300, I would have thought they need to mod the turbo at that level.

The only reason they said 280rwkw is because your valve springs and/or stock actuator will probably hold you back from making any more.

Just a comment that my brakes backing plate was clearly audible squealing, like a sharp piece of metal chalk being dragged across an iron blackboard :)

Thanks Steve!

Yeah...the noise is like a very fast ticking...pretty bs if all RDA's do it (even new design ones).

Cause on the other forum...in a build thread they were commenting that their RDA's are making "insect" noises lol and I was just hoping it was old rotors or something...

I tried to get a recording last night along the freeway...I think you cam just hear it when volume is cranked up...I will try to upload it

Should I create an imgur account or photobucket or something? Or can I just upload straight onto this website via full version?

Ha sure was!! I was looking for the intercooler in the front of the car but thought you were NA as yours must be black. Also noticed the 50th wheels that I like so much...didn't pay attention to the driver though hahaha

Was hoping to see how well the sunburst FG would keep with me around the roundabout but I think you turned off :)

I am pretty sure that I don't have the 50th anniversary wheels. I could be wrong. I wanted to keep up, but the daughter was in the car as well. So was my best mate. Can't risk their lives like that.

Didn't you see the lights flashing a few times you noggin. What, did you think I was a cop??

The intercooler is black. there is a reason for it. it is called a SLEEPER. :P

Yes I turned off as I took a side road to avoid the lights.

I would have turned left at the lights and you turned right.

Anyways, a belated HELLO!!!
