[leebutts]

One slight casualty (rock wall smack), with stones wedged between the rim lip and tyre sidewall but panels are fine but a deep scratch or two. Won't say which car yet!

Hehehe that doesn't sound like cruising....

[BuzzPuppy]

Well.. mayyyyyyyyyyybe low-flying

[edit] Dimi, a few of us were wondering if you can produce some of those "24 valve twin turbo v6" labels for us Vic crew?

[kiwibstokes]

+1 for the labels here. Not good about the incident, obviously didn't make it, was not well this morning, all self inflicted got to make it to a cruise one of these days..

[snickells]

Sorry i didnt make it to the cruise today, hope you all had fun.

As for the move, its all going horribly wrong... I'll post an update once i know whats actually going wrong/broken.

[bogan_bob]

wouldnt mind some of those stickers either I thought dragonfly decals were onto it?

Got my legnum back friday. They did an awesome job of the repair, im really happy, it looks heaps good. Driving it over the weekend was just like the couple of days when i first got it

EDIT: EEEEK dam, hope the move turns out ok soon!

I have picked 57 (only!) photos out of nearly 200 to post from today's cruise... yikes

I think I need to trim some more...

oh no

I fitted starting fitting my RDA slotted rotors today, the attached picture is of the left (passenger) side. On the box it says it's the left one, and it looks OK to me.

But I remember reading something that slotteds were supposed to look 'backwards' when properly fitted. Can anyone else who's fitted these please confirm that what I've done is correct for the RDA brand rotors please?

Yes correct

Thanks for the quick reply, I managed to find some time today to finish off the other side. Also put some QFM HPX pads in.

So far the warped disc vibrations that I had before seem to be gone, so the fronts must have been the culprits. Still have the rears to do when I get a chance.

Hope everyone on the Vic cruise had a good day, sorry I couldn't make it along.

Hmmm, there is something on that RDA Rotor concerns me, the way the slotted was done, it gives me shivers.

The slotted groove was all the way to the edge which it is the start of stress point and it will crack the disk then all the way to the mounting hub.

I read it somewhere that it happened already, I think it was Hugh.

Actually now you mention it, I noticed something odd with them too but couldn't put my finger on it. Looking at other brands on the net, I see what you mean.

[dimi108]

Hey people, Wes (Trounced) should have them ready right now. I've sent everything to him and he advised that they would be very easy to make for us.
It's just hard to get in contact while the forums are down.
I'll shoot him an email to check up on the progress of them.
It's been a while since I sent him the design so i'd definitely think they would be ready by now

Don't worry, I'm eagerly awaiting for a set of five to be ready too so I can get them sent over as gifts to a couple of the dudes in Japan.

I'll keep you updated this week.

Nice work schmoozing the Japanese contingent Dimi

Haha, damn what happened... an onlooker asked if your Leggie was a Series III Magna?

[BuzzPuppy]

Just a lot of curious looks... it needed a dash more "WTF?" to the recipe

[w1k3d]

+1 for stickers keen to get my hands on a set of these!

[mookers]

Vic Cruise pics are UP!

Great shots Derek!

[BuzzPuppy]

Those are awesome photos! Top marks to you and your mate Jimmy

Yesterday was f nothing like pulling over waiting for brakes (even Scottie's Brembo's) to cool of. The call on the radio to pull over when Scottie spotted Skurfer's brakes smoking was a good spot.

It was a bit eerie driving though the areas where the massive bushfires had ripped through Victoria. I didn't mind slowing to a snail's pace since it just allowed the whole thing to sink in. Katie's (the other half) role is to help rehabilitate the area and help people get on their land to start working again (clearing of fallen trees, waterway management, erosion control, etc).

Thanks to Skurfer for organising the cruise and the lads for a good turn-out.

Guys; anyone have prices/etc on new pads; I'm after something that will really brake if I plant the foot. Was looking at project U but refuse to pay $600 for pads alone.

chasing front and rear to fit the standard S1 calipers. minimal dust if possible.
