alrite lads... i just just joined the forum and i need help in locating something as small as brake pads. I imported a 2002 v8 ute from the Gold Coast in Austrailia to Dublin last year, its heavily modified with NOS Express and does a standing quarter in 12 sec like the rego that says "DOS 12" it also has a hi stall torque converter, Pacemaker headers, full Luki system, LS1 mafless tuned, lowered, bms chrome 20" rims, HSV vented bonnet, shes the hyper yellow colour with the 06 tonneu cover with the camell humps on it and a few other bits and bobs aswell (harrop superchager on the way). Ive been driving it almost every day since ive had it and shes due pads but they dont sell in Ireland so im looking to see does anyone know where i can get sorted.. any help would be much appreciated..

Aye, that she does.... she's Mint.... I love it... I think if ever the Monaro was going to be replaced, a ute would probably follow...

Cheers Man... When i bought it last year in Brisbane it had 18s on it and the leather cover on the back and there was a commodore on the forecourt with 20s bet under the arches so i said ill have some of that and then i seen a vz with the new type cover on the back so that had to be the job also.. it was my last weekend there when i actually put the deposit on the car, so when i got back to ireland i bought the wheels on line and the back lid which i had to get sprayed and fitted over there and me cuz who lives in Brisbane got the whwole lot sorted for me, serviced up the lot.. stuck her on a ship and 5 weeks later she arrived in Dublin, and it still grabs so much attention its unbelievable, people stop me all the time asking what it is.. so i just light the back tyres up and leave them with there jaws hitting the ground hahaha ( love it ).. and the gas thing about it is the Nos bottle was just about empty and ive never filled it up yet to give it a blast but the thing is f**king mental without it, i race superbikes over here and cars dont give me a buzz anymore but this thing always has me smiling
