Cool dry day here, so set to with a can of Dinitrol cavity spray and drowned my nice new and very expensive cross-over front pipes.
Having invested in nearly £1200 to have these done, the most expensive job on my Boxster so far, so to keep the corrosion at bay (a bit) I've liberally coated the rubber hoses joints/alum cross over and plastic pipes in Dinitrol.
Bit runny, bit sticky, but searching at first then a drying to a wax coating.
Should do the trick.
Checked the front brake pads/discs while exposed.
About 2mm left on the pads which a bit of a surprise as I am a master of gentle braking (or so I thought).
Wanted to check them carefully as they sound a bit rough, but the car certainly stops when needed.
Those 19" rims are sure heavy...
The old Bridgestones are now about 2/3's down and I hope I can arrive at the point where all 4 need changing and I can go to another brand to kill the road noise a bit.
Any suggestions on quiet tyres please? Not interested in track/ high speed grip etc, just comfortable touring driving with excellent rain dispersal.
