100 mile shopping trip

[scientific steve]

anybody else go out for a very long blast in todays nice warm weather?

decided to go out for some light bulbs from Q & B at bridge of dee in aberdeen and ended up on the road to ballater,

aboyne was nice and by chance i found one or two very nice roads to play on

the only bu@@er is that i had a big bit of brake fade and almost went "off road" whilst not meaning to

not only that but have developed brake judder, quite a bit at times under hard fast braking

any suggestions ie upgrade or do i just change disks if so what to go for ? any of you chaps went for braded lines ?

MY 98 sti type r

stuck in work all day

[dougster]

I cleaned my engine bay in the sun!!

[scientific steve]

shame that oobster hope the weather keeps up for the weekend, just enjoy it whilst i have a check in to go offshore on friday

i did happen to see a few other scoobs out today, they were doing the same as i

if the weather holds i think the white one will be given a good seeing to again even with the shuddering steering wheel

Wish I was, sitting at home bored and in pain

think they are just standard scooby calipers as for the pads and discs i dont know as the car was purchased at the end of jan

Hmm, stuck offshore right now.

I'm not sure what the STi V4 has as standard but i have Subaru 4-pots, Tarox discs, Mintex 1155 pads and braided lines. They're holding up pretty well after several thousands of miles of abuse. Cheap setup too. If you have cash to burn it has to be the AP 6-pots.

i's a means to an end i suppose, but this is when it's pants, you see the nice warm weather and think Bu@@er i should be out playing

i'm heading offshore the morrow going off to bp clair on the maersk inspieror (not sure if thats how you spell it)

where did you get your braded lines from and how much? i take it they are easy enough to fit?
