Courtesy of the Telstra outage today i went home early… only to find the internet out at home too. Oh well, to the garage.
Brake upgrade installed, nice and easily with all the NB8C bolt on parts:

Then as i had the wheels off, i gave the wheel arches a quick roll with the guard roller:

About 10 years ago back in Adelaide a few of us got together and bought a roller for about $300-400 or so. That one is basically identical and cost $50…
Added a brake master stopper from Beavis Motorsport, given the 25yo firewall flexes a reasonable amount:

Need to go get some fresh brake fluid and bleed the brakes next, but that can wait for another day. Probably when i do the fans at the same time.
