Purchased #25. I'd like to think it's a belated 25th bday present for myself

Hi, Dave.

1st, let say that I am really enjoying real grown-up brakes.

2nd, let me say that as always, your Laguna is gorgeous.

Yes, the M-Sport rotors and Advics carbon ceramic pads were sourced locally ... Robert from Supra GT on Kingsway between Fraser and Clark (604-251-7811). Not cheap but not exorbitant either, when compared with online available .. but don't have the hassle of duty, etc. Rotors are made in Canada.

Hey, let's go for a drive soon .. give me a call or an email.

That part I knew . Was it the Claret with the smashed 1/4 panel? I wish I could have been able to buy it . No room at the INN for it.<LOL>

Yep, that's the one. Going to work on putting a transmission in it first, then get the body damage taken care of. Won't be until after I actually move out here though.

so how do you plan on movin 25 SVX across country. I think you should pick up a bunch of us and we could drive a chain of them . It would be on the News .

I don't have 25 at this point. I already have 4 of them here in NW PA, soon to be 5 of them. I have one left in NJ that will stay there until probably end of January, and then I have 3 or 4 to bring out from Wisconsin. It give me a good reason to visit home every few weeks once moving out.

Also, a bunch of them are pretty big projects so most aren't driveable at any definition of the word

Thanks for the info and the compliments. I'll likely call you for a drive once I have the new brakes, mine are getting down to the nitty gritty. They are okay around town but I can tell they need to be replaced when coming down mountains. I also have the leather restorer for you.

Er... sold it.

Today I took original strut assemblies to local rally shop. After three weeks I can get custom coilovers for my svx from there. Those will be height and stiffness adjustable. They will use Spax adjustable struts.
