just cleaning out all the carbon build up in your exhaust, its normal :thumbsup:

My parents are constantly whinging at me because my car sprays it all over the driveway :cool:

and a few other people....why??

With the stock exhaust system it was letting out no where near the amount I am now. I have a hi-flow system with a spoon muffler thought might be something to do with that... But maybe not by what you all are saying. Thanks for all your responses. But back to an original question

Will replacing my brake pads reduce brake dust? Cheers.

yea just get some new oem pads from the dealer buddy, bugger all dust

what else you got planned?

I'm also looking at getting rota slipstreams but I want to somehow place a honda cap in the center. Would this be possible? If I go 16 x 7?... Because it seems like the centre nut pokes out so a cap wouldn't sit flush... Please help. thanks.

GET BLACK RIMS - ALL BRAKE PADS GONNA LEAVE DUST.. the ones that dont leave dust dont stop your car either HAHA. spray your rims when clean with tyre shine and that will act as a film to catch the dust and will be easier to wipe off. OEM (NISSIN) Pads are very good compromise assomeone on here said also.

Rotas aint got dish but they do come in matte black. There's some Sportmaxx '501s' that have a good dish and i've seen em on eBay in black.. cant get em here in that colour though but nothing a can of spray paint wont fix. but these rims will give you other issues with fitment etc. if you get new Rotas they come with gay centre caps.. or you can get Honda ones - just need to find out which models fit. I think DC2-R will fit, CRV will fit (but look crap)..

I tend to agree that a nice Clean EM1 should stay N/A but then again i can appreciate the maddness of a B16 witha turbo kit.. Put it this way an EK1 (non-VEC) witha GReddy LPT kit would chop a modded EK4 etc.
