Against a HQ, well at least you will be able to go around corners and stop. I dont think you will have any trouble against a HQ, depending of course, if its modified and what motor it has in it? Going by your age I would say a 6 though?

I have those rotors . Just be careful as what pads you chose . I got these remsa pads which are one below the qfm hpx . They only work good when warm , and hardly stop when in the wet . This is because the pad needs heat to work properly . One of the down sides of having a street / track pad

drove supermont to school today, was very happy with how it drove, clutch is very nice and i find it light compared to my brothers hd clutch,my clutch is oppisite to his, his doesn't start engaging until it's almost out and mine is barely out when it starts engaging, responds nicely i do miss my speed sensitive steering,

do i need to do the resister trick or can i get a j3 chip with manual tune for my ghia ecu?

Hey mate, sorry about my dodgy info before about the ecu's and all, I just remembered seeing that info somewhere else and thought it made sense....

Anyway, Between the two, id say the resistor trick, seems the quicker method. A J3 chip would cost a lot more and would have to be custom tuned I think. On the plus side, it does give you the opportunity to tune your engine. :)
So its up to you really, $5-10 for the resistor trick or $100s for a J3 chip + engine tune

Heres a brief rundown on how to do the resistor trick:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=43393

I hope this info is right or else ill look like a bit of a d**k ...

By the way, was it an easy conversion in general? looking in to doing it in the future...

yeah i've done it a few times now though so it's getting easier, the interiour part of it is the most frustraiting part, pulling the dash out is a b**ch, the auto box the top 4 bel housing bolts are the hardest part,

and lifting the gearbox back is another awkward part but overal it was easy, i did mine all by myself bar 1 starter motor bolt and lifting the gearbox in

got one light completely fibreglassed and started on the 2nd, before calling it quits for the day,
my way of stopping the sheet from moving worked a charm
