With the shop truck now fully on the road with insurance,tax and doe the "IS" has finally gotten a space in the workshop. Some jobs that need doing now at this stage are :

1. Rear Bushes need replacing all round
2. Brakes need better pads and calipers badly need a service as passenger side is sticking.
3. Rear discs to be swapped to vented drilled.
4. Brake fluid flush with ATE Blue race fluid
5. Front window to be replaced
6. Rear suspension arms and subframe to be stripped and painted
7. Recaro seat to be fitted
8. Rear interior to be trimmed and cleaned up.

So far since it's been in the workshop I have removed the front calipers,old pads and stripped calipers. The front pads I have put about 15,000+ miles on and they have only worn 2.43mm off new EBC Yellows!!!!.

The K-Sport pads are known to be poor and very much the weak point in their setup. I placed a magnet over the K-Sport pad about an inch away from the braking material side of the pad and it lifted it clean off the work bench showing just how much metal is actually in the pads!!!! They worked fine under light to moderate braking conditions but were pretty poor under extended heavy braking so out with them and in with EBC Yellows.
