$600 exactly for front and rear rotors and pads but i went for the new style batch of EBC reds on the front which were expensive even at mate's rates, well worth the money though.

And the rotors jumped $10 each between me doing the front and rear.

You could probably grab the rotors (DBA T2 Slotted) through ebay with Bendix General pads for bout $500

place I'm getting my cats from were out of stock so that's waiting till they get more in so went and did other ****.

New ECU, Mafless Tune and finally put my OTR on.

Cars running good, too late to take it for a test drive and the wife's cars in the way so will do so tomorrow.

Give it a clean and tidy up tomorrow, gonna have to extend overflow hoses if i want to neaten it up more.

Did the test drive, car goes well, defiantly more go.

Warmed the car up and reset the computer again.

No Ecu fault codes, no knock sensors tripped.

Fuel use is normal, not running rich or lean.

Tune works well along with the OTR.

Gotta love a OBDII to monitor **** while your driving.

And getting it cheap

Threw it on my usual dyno today, check the tune and AFRs which were all good, not to rich, not leaning out.

Gained 15.4rwkw from a mail order tune and the OTR.

Headers should sort out the top end curve and bring me up to 230rwkw-ish, then i can sort out a proper tune.

Best thing is, the mail order ECU is unlocked , so only retune required, no smashing the tune and starting again.

You have overspray on your brake lines. I am disappoint.
