Gee, its been a long time since Ive written anything here. Thats kind of a positive I think because I havent been having any dramas.

On the weekend I changed the front pads, and not a moment to soon as you can see by the state of the pads. As you can see I got me moneys worth out of these pads:





The are so easy to change with the Porsche caliper. Take the wheel off, release the hinged pad retainer, pull the pads out and replace.

Yeah, they came up on my TM "RS2" search a while ago so I thought I would grab them. The guy that was selling them had a R34 GTR (Nur I think), turns out they are the same size pads, I guess the GTR runs Brembos as well? Anyway he had upgraded his brakes and had a couple of sets left over. I think he's the guy with the Honda NSX race car?

Fraser?

Thats the one. Dont think it was a Nur. His GTR had the plate F1RACR. I looked back at what I paid for the pads, it was only something like $75.

I pulled out the diff switch out of the RS2 today. The middle bulb has never gone. Its just for aesthetics and lights up the  white outlines.



It turns out the bulb is soldered so I either have to get someone to do this for me or get a replacement from somewhere?

Go to Jaycar electronics Nik. About $3 for another low watt bulb, then have someone solder it in if you can't do it yourself. I did just that recently with the blown ABS warning light in my daughters Mk3 Golf.

Not much to report of late.

The car is going in for a new set of Meyle HD solid top mounts, a wheel alignment and some new brake fluid. Im trying Castrol React Performance this time. Has anyone used it before?

Well the door cards have started to break down, well the foam has.



Im having issues removing the rear door card though. Isnt it just the three screws?

There is 2 screws inside the handle you pull the door closed with on the arm rest, then the door cars slides up, do not try and pull it outwards as you will break the mounting tabs
