Make sure you do a warm up and a cool down lap, will make the tyres/brakes last longer before they fade.
Check the standard fluid levels are all good. Put in the correct tyre pressure!

Re: Car accident.. help
Doesnt look too bad from the photo, but you can never tell. If it does turn out to be a total loss, dont accept their first offer. Do research, find cars with similar mileage/options as back up to get a better price.

Re: Tarox Strada Pads
Ive been reading people cut the old wear indicators off of the old pads and then join them two together meaning that nothing needs to be done to the plug coming from the car.
