you have NO idea of the catalog of pictures i have from a mate who works in a phone shop. He got a vid of his FIT(!!!!) neighbour getting reamed hard on friday. I only have stills of her so far ;)

Looks like a small silencer on a loop. Mondeos do something similar although its done over a bigger space (side to side on the car)
NO
You can prize them out carefully and do minimal damage so they can have a light smear of silicon applied and make a good seal again. New is preferable, re-sealing is acceptable as long as it doesn't leak. I think i spotted some caps on ebay for £4 the other day.
With regard to your...
if the linings are washed properly with brake cleaner and dried off, you wont have a problem. Worst case, you'll need some new brake shoes, but the rears hardly do any work anyway

I love the engineering part of this car. Never like the artificial rusting thing though. I know too many people that do "rat" the right way, which is preserving naturally aged cars with genuine patina. I now someone that waxoiled the roof on his vw bus to seal the naturally occured rust, and...

I've seen it done. Worked with a couple of the k-tec low boost conversions. Think they do 0.5 bar on a GT28R. As long as you're fueled correctly, the ignition timing is right and stopping you getting huge cylinder temperatures, and there's no detonation, then there's not much to cause issues. I...
avoid EBC pads of any type
Dont personally like cross drilled disks, they crack a lot easier than normal, and there's really no good reason for them. Brembo HC disks and good pads are all you needs most of the time.
2 people, selection of extensions and wobble joints, and it's not TOO bad. Had Adeys de-cat on in about 3 minutes after he'd been swearing at it for 20 LOL
