How much are the lucas pads? at the moment i'm looking at the bendix but depending on cost i may go with lucas

chicaboo · 01-09-2005, 08:02 PM

I dunno, but I think they're around the $90/pr region.

chicaboo · 01-09-2005, 08:39 PM

Alrighty, everyone is hooked up, so now we just wait for the rotors to become available.

Ian · 10-09-2005, 12:21 AM

yeah man whats the go with these rotors?

its been a while now since I made payment.. can I get an ETA? I gota save up for 4x lucas pads and I wana know when im gona be looking at the money.

chicaboo · 10-09-2005, 08:26 AM

QLD Rotors arrived Thursday afternoon, if I'm lucky I'll get a chance to grab them on Wednesday. Feel free to save for pads anytime you like. I'll pick up the rotors, and give him the ones for you and him, and he can pass them onto you.
VIC rotors haven't arrived yet, but I expect them to be early to mid next week. Rupe is helping out the VIC boys by collecting them, but it would help if they could travel to him to collect so that he's not been put anymore.
ACT rotors are 2/3s here, waiting on the last two, Osprey has been advised of this and is happy to wait until the last 2 rotors arrive.

Cheers,
Gav.

Do i need to bring a tractor ?

Rupewrecht · 10-09-2005, 02:49 PM

lol nah probably yarraville

where are all you VIC boys? could meet halfway somewhere

Dogo · 10-09-2005, 05:33 PM

Im in Mentone these days.
Right at the end of Warrigal, just b4 the beach.
But I could always meet u in Vermont and you can get that foam sheet thing

deruss · 10-09-2005, 09:13 PM

I'm in Glenroy (near Broadmeadows), but I'd be okay with going for a drive out your way. What are you two doing for pads?

chicaboo · 10-09-2005, 10:56 PM

I'm gonna ring up Repco and Autobarn and find out what they charge for Lucas pads, and then I might just get them online cheaper somewhere...?

Dogo · 10-09-2005, 11:00 PM

Well Im sure I can find some Libra ultrathins around somewhere.

ohh ... you meant brake pads

Dont know. Havnt thought about it.
Bendix maybe ? Lucas are supposed to be good too.
But I have thought maybe I'd try some fancy brake fluid - will have to look into it still.

chicaboo · 10-09-2005, 11:03 PM

Motul RBF600? or some such is supposed to be good I hear.

Dogo · 10-09-2005, 11:05 PM

while I think of it, autospeed.com have a 3 part series on diy brake upgrades

Dogo · 10-09-2005, 11:05 PM

maybe instead of each picking them up we can make a day of it and help each other put them on their car ?

That doesn't sound like such a bad idea

deruss · 12-09-2005, 12:13 PM

That way if we stuff up, we all crash! bwahahaha

At least that way you'll go down in a blaze of fire

chicaboo · 14-09-2005, 09:11 PM

QLD boys fixed up today, rotors look nice. Osprey's first 4 rotors are being mailed to him, the brake guy didn't like hanging onto them. I can appreciate that having seen how many of these things they shift now.
I've requested an update on when the VIC rotors will be ready for Dan to collect. I think the wait must be on the rear rotors, since we only got the front rotors up here and they didn't take too long.

Gav.

chicaboo · 15-09-2005, 10:56 AM

VIC Rotors are ready to collect Dan.

Rupewrecht · 15-09-2005, 11:45 AM

swoit. will try and do it this week, if not early next week.

Deruss - pickup from Yarraville (as the car's there

)
Drunknmonkeyau - pickup from Croydon
Dogo - up to you, might be able to drop them off at your place as i'm down that way to pick them up anyway

Mefo, will you be down this way any time soon? MrPayner always seems to be down here so i might get him to take them up to the 'Rat to save you postage.
