Got the other side finished, and also installed the colour coded door handles today. I ended up having to take all the bolts out and fitting washers under because one of my holes was a bit out on the rear drivers side flare. And I needed a washer to try and hide it, so my OCD kicked in and I did all the bolts. Haha

Still doing a bit of other work to the car so, havent dropped it off the stands yet. Car needs a good wash, and I need some better photography hardware and skills.



Also got around to installing the 355mm rotors today. And new EBC Yellows aswell. It was interesting to see the condition of the QFM Ar1m pads. They were pretty heavilly slopped with uneven wear and the pad material looked like a burnt turd. It was all flaky and blotchy. I will never buy those pads again. Absolute sh1t. They had only done one track day, yet had as much pad taper as my previous set of pads after most of a season of racing. And it was both sides from both calipers, so not gonna be a stuck piston etc. Just plain old sh1t pads.

I managed to fit the 355mm brakes under the 17" Drift 6s (just). I had to space em out about 3/4" inch to clear. They actually would have fitted perfect, but the wheel wieghts that I had done last weekend when I rotated the tyres fouled on the caliper. But I would have run spacers anyways to try and make the rims look somewhat ok under the flares.

Yes. You are correct. That is how a sticker functions. Good observation.

I couldnt help myself. When I saw these custom lazer etched build plates from Tobyio on Ozfoz, I just had to have one (or two). One will be attached to the pillar between the front and rear doors on the drivers side. Basically in the exact location as the standard build plate, but on the opposite side. And the other will be attached to my tool box.
