thanks

That sounds worth the money for the SSR GT1s. It's good to have a high quality, durable finish on a wheel, especially if you live in the Midwest with Indiana Dept of Public Works throwing salt everywhere during these winter months!

I have EBC green stuff and love them for the street use. They are really easy on the rotors.

I also have a set of the EBC Green Stuffs. I stopped using them when I got the Sumitomo J-spec FD Type RS pads. Once I wear out the Sumitomos, I will mount the Green Stuffs on again. I'm looking forward to how the Green Stuffs perform on track.

You don't really have 220,000 miles on your FD do you??

BATMAN

Sleep R1,

I have used a variety of pads on my car while logging all these miles on my car.

Of all of them, the EBC green stuff is the best all around pads when u want to group these features in a nice package:

- Easy on the rotors
- Minimal brake dust
- Good initial biting power, even when cold
- No brake noise

Let me know how they did on the track.

Also, have u tried the EBC Yellow Stuff?

It is designed solely for track usage.

BATMAN

I bought my car with 66,000 miles on it. The rest I logged on over a period of almost 6 years.

Mostly Freeway miles.

Not the original engine however.

All I have to say is that if u tune the A/F properly, change the radiator to a KOYO, and put silicon hoses....... the rest of the car is not all that bad in being reliable.

I have many original compoenents on my car.

What is wrong with Zaino? I was almost gonna buy that stuff!..

BATMAN

I use Zaino too, but the Turtle wax actually has dye/pigment in it ( in this case black) that fills up the minor blemishes that zaino or the other stuff doesn't have to offer. They even include a little black chapstick, kinda like a crayon for the larger rock chips.

The zaino is the shiniest one I have used.

Here is a pic:



BTW, the RP01 was bought from Rishie (ARD T2).

I have doen extensive shopping and his price is the best.

Nothing wrong with Zaino - it's a good deal more work than regular wax, and it gets particularly good results with dark colors. Batman's car looked to me like a Zaino finish.

BATMAN

Well the first 2 pics were Turtle Wax Color Cure. The only wax/polish that has color pigment in them to fill in light blemishes.

Zaino is great on paint to enhance the shine which is the last pic above. Basically, the one that is almost all stock.

ttb

is it me or does that last pic almost look fake

BATMAN

It's u.

I have the negative and orignal to prove it.

As a matter of fact it's in Ivan's house. Most of those BIG pics were taken by me.

In case ur wondering......... it was taken with a N90s with a Kodak Ektar 25 ISO.

The first was taken with a Fuji ISO 200 and the second was with a Kodak Royal Gold ISO 100.

Not a POS digital camera.

ttb

must be the reflection...you know how people over do it in photoshop...

SleepR1

Like.....

SleepR1

Wow looks like a Mazda promo brochure shot! Nice job on the car's paint and the photography!

SleepR1

Nope. It's too pricey, and there are pads for track I KNOW WORK The EBC Red Stuffs were supposed to be for track; they sucked ***!

BATMAN

intake box, starter, power steering pump, airpump, and there are a few others that i can't think of.

BATMAN

Must be........ and yes I know.

BATMAN

Thanks,

If u look closely at the passenger window....... u'll see water streaks from just being washed. Mazda would never have f*cked up like that.

I actually surprised myself. I guess my camera is worth the $thousands I footed for it.

BATMAN

Black is the best looking color.......... whne it's clean.

It's either all or nothing.
