Oh well, it was free, cant complain i guess!

One thing i did take away though is that whatever brake pads i have, stink. It was sponge city. Need the brembos before i'll go punt it around the track with any confidence
Might be the fluid more than the pads, win first gear you shouldn't have to much issues puling up?

You would have liked Jacks Hill, was a lot more fun than i expected and you got to get into 4th lol!

That was the run where as you approached the turn around point the clerk of course goes "now this is the part where people with Subaru's usually find out how much their cars understeer" then you nailed a sweet handbrake turn with some decent smoke and he goes "actually that was really good"

Good ol' Ted. He says that every time he sees a Subaru :P "watch this thing under steer".
Just gotta realise (as you have) that you really need to shift the weight the right way, and as a result it doesn't under steer.

Ps: my opinion, keep the white wheels. They make the car. Bitch to clean though.

So the spongy poor performing brake pedal wasnt all in my mind. Turns out the rear 2 pots had seized the inside piston on both calipers, it effectively wasnt utilising the rear at all, so, i did the only sensible thing.







consists of endless front rotors, dba4000 rear, HEL lines and AP formula fluid. Had the brakes painted up WRB to match the car, fitted new decals, think it turned out nicely!
