***VX*R8*** Member 202 Member For: 11y 2m 8d Gender: Male Posted 29/10/13 07:04 AM Author Share Posted 29/10/13 07:04 AM (edited) I got the 322mm rotors...After fitting them on Saturday I could notice the difference on the first stop, probably more a result of the pads though.There's definitely an improvement and a lot more confidence inspiring/consistent now.

***VX*R8*** Member 202 Member For: 11y 2m 8d Gender: Male Posted 03/12/13 10:23 AM Author Share Posted 03/12/13 10:23 AM The QFM HPX pads are starting to get REALLY annoying. Anything but hard stops and they just squeal like crazy. I have the same pads in my VX R8 and they're nowhere near as noisy but I remember there was a stage when they were a bit noisy. So when I get a chance I'll file a chamfer into them and apply some anti-squeal compound.I wasn't really a fan of the silver grilles so plasti-dipped them black and I'm very happy with how they've turned out.I also have some new wheels in 19x9.5" +22 which I should hopefully fit this week if I get time.I'd upload pics but it's not working for me this time for some reason :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

***VX*R8*** Member 202 Member For: 11y 2m 8d Gender: Male Posted 12/12/13 01:19 PM Author Share Posted 12/12/13 01:19 PM The wheels sit out a little at the front but the tyres have a bit of stretch so the tread pattern sits inside the guards. It's more noticeable in person how far out they stick. I'd say if I lowered it I'd possibly need to roll the guards but may "just" clear due to camber...

***VX*R8*** Member 202 Member For: 11y 2m 8d Gender: Male Posted 26/01/14 05:37 AM Author Share Posted 26/01/14 05:37 AM I'm loving this car so far. It's so easy as a daily driver.I've changed the oil (Nulon full syn), oil filter, fuel filter and air filter (K&N).Changing the fuel filter seemed to improve the idle quality. Also the air filter seemed to make the car feel like it pulls a little bit easier (like on a cooler night) which I wasn't really expecting but the old filter was pretty dirty.I think the warranty period runs out this year some time so I've started looking for F6 injectors, F6 cooler and some metal cooler pipes. Then I'll take it in for a tune. I already have a Walbro GS342 255lph fuel pump. I'm hoping I can get 290+rwkw with stock exhaust (minus restrictor ring) and standard airbox.I'm gonna try and get to Willowbank in the next 2 weeks if the weather clears up and see what time it can do stock. Also need to get some decent pics with a proper camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
