All Doug's work. I might frame one after the SITT along with a tuft of Kaitaia possum fur and some sand from both ends of the Country.

Hey john, after uncles the other night I got this funny red light in the dash..something about brake pad wear..etc
What pads you going for..I know this thread beat this subject to death a while back but I'm too lazy to go look.
I don't need full on track pads as I'm only a part timer (fast tho)

No new car yet. She seemed keen then said she couldn't part with the GTI. The notion will pop up again soon. In the meantime the car budget is all Porsche repairs.

I went OEM with pads. Can't recommend SRF fluid enough. $150 for the amount a 996 needs. Bloody good stuff as those Z221s will run everything harder.

Just go factory pads, unless you want to run the risk of squealing?

Have you learned nothing? I post a pic of Brian blowing his header at HD, then the 996 blows a coolant pile a week or so later. Don't tempt the juju.....

Was going to suggest looking across the ditch but prices there are a little inflated (compared to NZ).

You can setup a favourite search on Trademe and have it emailed daily.

Yes i've looked at cars in Oz they do seem pricey compared to NZ. Daily emails aren't enough sadly. I rang that last red car within a couple of hours of the ad being placed but the new buyer rang just before me and bought after a test drive the next morning. The seller did 'quite' well out of the deal. Bought a year ago, put 10000 km on it then sold for $10K profit!

Phil, not good. I had the same problem. I would say minimum is SRF and PSM turned off (very important). If the problem still occurs then go for race pads, but they will squeal a lot so you may need to swap them in and out for the track. I use Pagid yellow on the track but they are unbearable on the road.

When I had the problem the pads were fine, it melted a sensor so that would be worth checking.
