dixcel discs and z pads.
Done quite a bit; new Fuji rear upper arms, new SPLpillowball rear endlinks, new rear wheel bearings, brake back plates, Dixcel sd rotors and z pads. Alignment. New Nissens radiator. New Superpro front endlinks.
I was failing emissions on mots, and getting limp mode codes.Took off caik to clean and tape it, and the maf o ring had disintegrated. I ended up buying 20 odd of different materials; getting a o ring ordered has alot of variables. No more limp modes and if anyone needs a maf o ring......
Car is running and set up the best it's been; i was forced to set the rear arb stiffer to allow more engaged thread on the links, and it's transformed rotational road handling. It's possibly too stiff for any track, but im off to the French Alps in 3 wks to do some passes into Italy. Col d'Iseran, Col de Mont Cenis, Col de Galibier. All fluids changed, fingers crossed.

I've got those Z pads, as normal dixel pads faded to nothing on a track day, the Z needs some heat in it to get bitey.

Nice to hear the yellow C is working well
