hey fellas, does any one know where to get a slicon inlet pipe locally, or from over east, and what sort of prices are they (gc8), or maybe someones got one lying around and wants 2 get rid of it.

Also wheres the cheapest place around to get dba slotted rotors and bendix pads from again for a gc8.

cheers fellas, localy would be beta but if not thats cool

i saw a silicon intake pipe on some site, cant rememba but it was marked down from 680 to 500. too fukn expencive for verry little gains.

pm balistic on these forums (i'm sure he'll read this anyway) and he will get them brake parts for you at a decent price. otherwise you can try Perth Brake Parts or one of the workshops (check the sticky thread) who will also be able to get you these parts. shop around!

that said, I personally wouldnt use Bendix brake pads on DBA rotors. if your after a nice street pad and nothing more you'll be ok, but i wouldnt do any motorsport or 'spirited' driving on them. ferodo 2500s would be my pick

y is it bad to use bendix pads on dba rotos for any motorpsort or spirited' driving ???

Are you talking about those silicone intake pipes that go in just before the turbo and travel underneath the inlet manifold? I see them on ebay all the time going for around $200 to no more than $300.

Why is that jester?

I just got some DBA4000s with Bendix Ultimate pads do they shit them selfs when doing motorsports?

I remeber reading forum posts by one of the engineers at DBA (i think its on the MRT forums, DBA brake clinic) and he suggests bendix pads are 'good for going shopping on' but not much else. just personally i dont like them either.

brakes are what keep you out of a wheelchair or a coffin, just remember that when you hand over the coin

that is just wrong boys plugging each other....... who would have thought.


On topic.....

I use the bendix ultimates with slotted dba 4000's and they have worked fine. I found that the bendix did chew through the stock rotors quicker, but have lasted ages with the 4000's. The issue with this combo was the metalic component in the pads running o hot that is was resulting in the rotors cracking when used for motorsport.
heard this from a guy from perth brake parts at an IWRXOC meeting.
