Rotors

Cheerz muchly chaps! When I got the DBAs for the ute, the parts dude said "Here try these pads. They are the same as the cops use". Now I find myself constantly washing the mags to keep the dust off! I not only like my cars to go well, stop good and handle, but also to look presentable. No...

DBA rotors

Hey any of you Aussies know weather DBA make a rotor to fit our cars? Or a good slotted crossed drilled rotor for use with as tandard calliper? Also can anyone recommend a good pad for spirited road use that doesnt dust out the wheel all the time?

Yep Karl, think it is probably a bad earth somewhere. Very low current at the injectors. Also the wipers and windows have been a bit slower than usual. Hope it is that simple. Will check into it when I have a bit more time.

Stoped

Out for a good old hard spot of driving the other night, just as I was heading back to town, rounded a sharp corner and the engine droped a cylinder. (no clatters or clanging/banging) then another.

:D Yeah! BBQ the boys.
As for the getting rid of my precious spares... Sorry. I've got a 20 foot container sitting at work thats only 1/2 full. It is begging to be filled with more stuff. I love stuff! Obsessive compulsive disorder. Gtv6 stuff. Kawasaki KX500 stuff, and Ducati S/L stuff.

I've got a pair of brand spankers (2 piece h/gaskets) sitting in my storage facility. Along with heaps of other genuine A/R spares that I scored from up north. Came with one of the spare motors.

That is one tidy GTV6 that you have there!!

The engine is a lot lively than it used to be. Wheather that is due to the to the total seals, or a good old freshen up of the whole engine, is hard to determine. It has had a couple of mild hidings in its young life of 200 km's so far. Plenty of gear changes through the local winding hilly roads. T...
