Front tyres are toast after 21,000km or there about, rears are OK but I have opted to replace all four with Michelin Pilot Sport 4.

Have also finally come up for rear pads and rotors - 223,000km out of a set of brake pads and rotors is good going, have opted to replace the fronts as well.

I have gone for Remsa HPT pads and RDA slotted rotors, wanted DBA T2 but no stock available and 10 business days for manufacture, so RDA it is.

Have also opted to replace battery since it's four years old, battery holder has been modified and it has a Century DIN85L MF in it, being replaced with Delkor.

Has broken it's rear sway bar links again, but they're on backorder at the moment with Pedders and no ETA unfortunately, will be replaced at a later date.

Has torn tie rod boot, is going to be replaced.

Sump plug is being replaced too as it's worn.

Car is in workshop over the weekend.

Interested in getting it back to see how well the new brakes work compared to the factory setup, the Remsa HPT pads are aggressive but still offer good cold performance.

Good choice on the rubber!
