I'll try and knock a guide together when the new kit turns up.

I don't see the value in the roller kit. :thinking:

Wish I'd have done it way back when, to get value for money from it.  But it's added piece of mind and less time mucking around.

Have you ever considered Carbotech XP20?

It's a bit of a pain finding the correct pad shape / fitment for my brembo gt seniors & rotor setup.  How much are they?
They didn't have my pad size available so I sent my old pads plates for them to reline with the XP20 compound. They could have sourced old pads for £40 + VAT, if I didn't have old pads in good condition available. They cost £280 + VAT. My pads have a good size too: 190.1 mm (7.484") x 99.0 mm (3.898") x 16.8 mm (0.661").

Can't fault them on track but they need a proper bedding like any race pad (as Carbotech instructed).

Always good to see her progress. If you don't mind me being a nosey prick do you know what Alex charges for an oil cooler kit fitted roughly?

I really don't know but, upto a day's work really.  I guess some models will be easier than others, mainly down to getting a nice neat mounting / install

200 pages.

I deleted it with the intention of thinning it out to just the useful info and pics.  Didn't know where to start!

Cheers, i was hoping you'd said £20  :signLOL:. Something that is definitely on the list though. It's always hard to condense a thread like this. At this point if you don't know the car or story it's too late  :doh:

I find ignoring a thread for ages and then taking the piss usually works.
