Well their parking lot is pretty big.

Also it's minutes from my house it might be the first RS meat I might consider attending...

Their poke is a good deal relative to actual poke places. Also I've gotten their fresh oysters to Schuck at home it's way cheaper.

Badhobz 01-10-2025 07:20 PM

im down! somebody set a time. everytime I make one, ya'll complain its not enough notice.

bcrdukes 01-10-2025 07:34 PM

Make sure to plan it on a snow day or with rain in the forecast.

Minting your first RS meat by meeting with a bunch of guy, sitting at a table, eating meat. That's memorable.

One that will get hobz banned from the 2025 weight loss thread

I wonder if the restaurant itself has different hours than Save On. I don't imagine they're serving anyone until 10PM there.

I don't know a ton about brakes but the initial bite under hard braking from my current setup is really bad. Are any of these options for front pads decent? It's just a street car but none of them will be any better I'd rather not waste money on these calipers and put it towards Boxster 4 pots.

The Dynamic Friction Track Pads are actually pretty decent from the guys that track lightweight cars. But as you mention, you're looking for more of a street/sport set up? What's your dust tolerance?

If you don't care much for dust, go with a semi-metallic option. All the ceramics have pretty lackluster brake feel.

Manic! 01-11-2025 12:20 AM

If I was living in Vancouver I would be seriously looking at this. I wonder if the makerspace could get a property tax exemption because it's a not for profit. I should not be hard to get the rest of the space rented.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...32571764813202

Quote:

Details - 5400 sq ft, currently ~65% occupancy, fully built out. 30 lockable spaces, 24/7 access system installed! Makers would be interested in continuing to operate and use the upper office floor (900 sq ft) at a rate of $3000/m


Rent $12,421.66

Revenue
Current Tenants $11,075.00
Empty Spaces $4,800.00
Makers Office Space $3,000.00

100% occupancy revenue $18,875.00

I spent about 3 months of my time this year building the space out and around $40k in materials and support, so I would love it if someone could continue this on and provide a space for those currently renting with us so it doesn't go to waste.

Please give me a shout if you want to jump on a call or visit the space. We have given our notice to our landlord for Feb 28th, and have to pay a penalty to break the lease, so in a perfect world someone could take it over so we don't have to pay it!
I wonder if you can fit a hoist.

after insurance, cleaning and maintenance, is there really enough profit in that? that margin is not that lucrative

Badhobz 01-11-2025 07:47 AM

Manic just wants to turn it into a home stay for his cousins. He can stack them 20 in a room.

It's a 3200lb+ street car so I don't want something noisy or that needs heat to work or whatever. Dust I'm not really worried about since the car is always filthy anyways. Semi-metallic my options are Raybestos, AC Delco or Quality Built, which isn't a very reassuring sounding brand name lol.

westopher 01-11-2025 08:31 AM

I'm really happy with the EBC red stuff pads I just put on. Bite isn't quite as good as my ferodo ds2500s but probably 85-90% as good with 85-90% less dust and noise is a very good trade off.

Just like what BAWS asked, what's your tolerance on dust?

I believe C-TEK is same as Stoptech/Centric. So the C-TEK pads MIGHT be worth a try.

If it comes to looking at brand name stuff, I liked how StopTech Sport pads worked on the front with my MS3. But it's got a HUGE sweep on 320 rotors

On my M3 right now I'm using EBC Bluestuff. They are semi track pads that work even when cold. They bite well, but is only ok at track. Pretty quiet otherwise. But I also have a HUGE sweep area on 380 rotors.

Experience may vary on a Celica

I've been meaning to try their damn burger, their fries look good too.

I just can't stop myself from ordering pancakes and a Benny every time I go there though :lol

It'll be one of my 1st stops when I'm back in town.

westopher 01-11-2025 09:37 AM

I still gotta go to red wagon. I went to bistro wagon rouge often when it was open and it was always great. Shame it closed, cause even if the food is as good at red wagon that building it was in was so cool.

I'm not bothered by dust, noise is the only thing I don't want.

The rotors are about 275mm and I'm limited to those so I can fit under 15s. I have Hawk HPS rear pads that seem to work well but they only support the very base model Celica now for some reason. The one thing I can do is wait until the budget can cover putting 4 pot 2.7 Boxster calipers onto the same size rotor. I'd just rather put good pads into my stock calipers *if* I can find something that will actually be good.

It sounds like making the jump to something more expensive from EBC might be the best bet.

As Mike, I have a hard time getting anything but the trucker breakfast with them pancakes. Their breakfast Bahn Mi though is killer as well.

The dinner menu is very dinerish, they tried to go a little fancier earlier on and it was great but I think it wasn’t doing too well so they doubled down on burgers and stuff like that, which have all been great as well.

Stoptech pads used to be CHEAP. I don't know about right now. The C-TEK semi metallic front says $14. I'd say give them a try IF they have the right fitment for your GT4. Too many times more obscure cars like yours can be very hard to find parts for.

$14 can't even get you a McD meal nowadays.

I'm shocked that its 3200+ lbs.

I don't know too much about your car, but I found a few options, you'll have to verify fitment. If you're gonna jump to EBCs, you might as well look at a JDM option.

Endless CC-RG - one of the few pads that I've tried is actually quiet for the amount to stopping power/great brake feel that you get out of it.

I've heard good things about the Dixcel stuff, but haven't tried it myself.

Dixcel Type M
