Mick, this is Dean's old car with Dean's old brakes!!! Definitely not new.. :lol:

Oz, Greenstuffs are good on the road/track, but also check what the discs are like. If thickness is 8mm or less buy 2 newies from Karcraft to go with the new Greenstuffpads..

and then bed em in....right!!!!

friend of mine tried green stuff on a road cooper .....they tended to squeal a tad when cold but when up to temp....the really bite....think he went back to black to be a little kinder to his rotors though???

Greenstuffs are VERY kind to S rotors, they don't tear 'em up like most `good' pads..
I went over to Blackstuffs (better bite when cold) for the road, but I'll bolt the Greenstuffs back in for any speed events, like Wakefield Pk. Far better when real hot.

BTW the Blackstuffs squeal a bit at low speed, but the Greenstuffs never did...

As for running LSD at the dragstrip, why bother? East/west engine puts equal torque to both wheels in a straight line- doesn't it? Mine lays 2 black strips off the line...

No lateral twist there, like you get with a nth/sth engine and RWD.. :shock:

Got the dash finished today. Few minor things need to be changed but I'm pretty happy with the result given my limited ability with spanners.

Looks much better in real life.

No, not me. I don't have roadworthy mini yet.
