^^^ yeh only been just over 200 once or twice before....did not notice any hood flapping, but probably wasn't going fast enough or too concerned with holding the car steady lol

If you mean "remove the screen" then if Ford installed your oil line, it's likely they left the screen in the banjo bolt as it's a tricky and time-consuming process to remove it

I confirmed with Fraud this morning when I was chatting....he said most definitely 100% the screen is removed from the block.

I questioned whether there is another screen thing on the turbo end and he said only on the engine side? But yeh he did say it would have been pointless doing the oil line if they didn't remove the screen. I cant recall whether they charged 1 hr or maybe 1.5 hrs so maybe I did pay them for it lol

Replaced rusty brake hardlines and rebuilt front callipers with new slides, pistons, dustboots n seals. Stops heaps better now both pistons are working rather than one each side. No pics coz covered in brake fluid

I've done a fair bit to my car lately including new headliner, re-gapping front bar, front bar respray, 19inch wheels, matte black decals, power window regulator, rust removed from boot channels and today new turbosmart wastgate actuator and boost control solenoid.

I'm well impressed at the dust levels.  It seems to be sticking to the rim but not to the caliper nearly as much as the Remsas.  Haven't cleaned the brakes since I fitted the NS400s.

Haven't tried them out from seriously high speed but they are working well at road and highway speeds.  If I was entering a top speed event I wonder if the pads would hit 400°C on a single slow from 230km/h to about 40 anyway?  Might perform better than the 800s on a cold once off stop...proper track work would go to the 800s of course.

Will be interesting to compare dust levels Steve.I have qfm pads in at the moment and the dust builds up a fair bit.

Matt from rbs and others really likes these so I will try and report back with a comparison.
