Well said.

So I somehow managed to get a leak in the radiator a few months back. Long story short the relocated fill point I have is an absolute pain in the ass to fill when the car is hot.

Anyway this morning I got rid of the relocated fill setup I fitted a while back and fitted one of the alloy header tanks with a proflow silicone hose kit and a new high flow t stat.

No leaks after a smashing boost for a while so happy days.

New higher spring rate shockworks coils arrived so I got the rear end of the ute lowered.
Getting pretty good at it after adjusting it a thousand times.
Fronts end will happen tomorrow arvo.

Shockworks coils look the goods on the QA1 prima stars.

Since I'd just done the front rotors and pads I figured I should do the rears too. The factory units had already been skimmed once from warpage and were acting up again.

So a set of T2's and Remsa pads were thrown on.

Got to here without too much drama...

Then I noticed that the top slider pin was doing anything but - totally seized in.

After MUCH cursing bashing twisting sweating and general mahem the little bastard came out.

Did the other side with zero dramas which was nice cuz I was way over it by then lol

I'm now wondering how much that stuck pin was causing the brake pulsing issues. 

 

Love brakes almost as much as exhausts....:rant2:
