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.

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. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...brake+pad,1684

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

If you're gonna jump to EBCs, you might as well look at a JDM option. https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/searc...85+brake+front 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
