Had the same thing on the DC2 and it was bolted onto head so easily replaceable. If you can find the part on lings then that pretty much guarantees it.

Ok I exaggerated. I did not feel safe with them anyway. Will be getting stoptech or DC5 conversion after my new power mod anyway as my current setup will not be adequate.
Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing!
Lose weight most importantly (if you can) the FN2 is a lardy beast. That should help nicely, then get some better pads, hoses and fluid. I'm a big fan of the Carbone Lorraine pads (rc5+), amazing stopping power, although they do squeal like race car
A brake conversion isn't really that neccessary unless the brakes really are that bad as standard.
I've occassionally removed my rear interior and whilst very racecaresque, it doesn massively increase cabin noise and is a PITA to keep doing.
No point in making the FN2 a track car, just buy some beaten up old rusty Teg to lighten and thrash around a track.
Just make sure you keep enjoying the FN2 rather than just modding for moddings sake. It's like chasing an extra 15fps in your favourite game with new upgrades when it already runs more than well enough with the current setup
In response to the FN2 brake topic, I must say the following based on my recent brake upgrade.
Sure the weather has been shocking but after rigorously following the bedding in instructions, I have a road user analysis of my new kit.
Pedal feel immense and braking power is vastly increased.
Although, I have admittedly done this at the wrong time of year.
Will update after track work on the 3rd of Feb.

Same, I dont know why everyone bad mouths the brakes, I think are decent enough for the road, I wont be upgrading them anyway, might consider aftermarket discs and pads but nothing overkill

Yeah I was heading down that road but house is taking priority now. Aside from my FRS and new zorst there won't be anything left to do really. Got a Mugen grille ready to be painted and just want the front lip to finish off the front end. Then wheels gloss black and I'm done. Gonna start cleaning the thing myself next.
Frs and exhaust = 3hp
Mugen grille = 3x10^94hp
Sounds like a good list of things to get done! Need to get my geo checked again and get her on the dyno for some ****s and giggles.
I Love a clean and sparkly car, but in these months she gets filthy before Ben off the drive so I don't see much point in bothering

Aye I already have aftermarket but want a bit more noise. Mugen stuff is purely for aesthetics obviously as that's one of the most important things to me.
My geo is shot so thought I'd get the frs done. I've bought a lot of cleaning stuff recently. Just need to use it...

Obligatory new car pic...
Not so clean now though! Cars get filthy quickly in this weather!

Right having a bit of a clear out and I thought I would give the opportunity of some people using my old DC2 parts I have. This is what I have, you can gladly have them for free or just cover postage costs.

Wheres the cheapest place to get some DS2500 pads?
They should work great with stock discs?

yeah just replace the stud. sounds like you overtightened it, do you have a torque wrench?
I thought they price matched on ds2500. Just find somewhere cheap and get tegiwa to beat it.
