Manifest lol

 

which one? Forgot to quote. Lol

 

is this an aftermarket wing?

 

Looks like the standard fixed rear spoiler to me.

 

 

....just whistle

 

 

I like it....you've got to be from Ol'Blighty to get it

 

Or Oz!

 

Yep, that works as well
What do you think about those brake pads? I want something that stops well, does not make any noise, and doesn't make brake dust.

 

I guess you are asking me about the Porterfield R4-S brake pads?
Plenty of threads and posts around here on them but FWIW:
- they stop well, as good as stock, but not as good as warmed up track pads. They are street pads (that's what the S signifies) and not strong enough for the track.
- minor graunching just as I come to a stop but only when cold, no noise at all once they have some heat in them. Waaaay better than the noisy stock pads.
- very little dust, still some but I would say 1/4 as much as the stock pads (or any semi-metallic pads).
- only downside for some (not me) is they lack the immediate bite of stock / semi-metallic pads, so a little "soft" for the first cm or so of pedal travel.
- I for one prefer that initial softness, makes them much nicer and more progressive in stop/go traffic, unlike stock / semi-metallic pads which I found to be much too grabby and like an on/off switch making it damn near impossible to drive smoothly.

 

Thanks for the brake pad feed-back.
I have stock pads in my 2017 R, and they work OK, but nothing special, so I'm maybe looking to try something different.

not a big cat V8 so didn't go with ROAR, which is available in TX FYI

 

 

Not sure if I've posted this here or not, but tribute to Austin Powers.
