That sucks, so is it the pad distorted / dislodged or the Caliper got stuck pistons ?
|
Quote:
Pistons all fine and no problem... think dislodged or stuck on pad... |
Cool time for some new pads then.
|
Yeah - just unexpected cost before Germany...
|
Speedline wheel nut threads are kn*cked as well so now to find new wheel nuts
|
Always the way. Better to find out now than experience it at the ring.
|
Yep - trying to source speedline wheel nuts now which isn’t proving easy
|
nuts & pads can be fairly straight forward albeit you can't just pop by and collect...........

Hi alyn, Pads I’ve managed to sort as mechanic had a new set ready to go on his so taken them - Can u price the steel speedline nuts for me? |
Quote:
Good job you've found out before Germany, Ive got some spare PFC Z rated pads. Make sure you've got some proper fluid too. |
Looks like they've got very hot! I suspect EBC yellows might behave like the EBC blues did in my old WRX 4 pots years ago and basically began to melt at high temps - which is why so much of the pad material has disappeared so quickly (not like you've done high miles with it! ;))
What pads have you got now? |
Quote:
EBC Blues as it’s what was available for a quick put on... They will do as a quick fix and I’ll sort some proper ones next year when these give out :ok: |
Those pads make for pretty scary viewing!
Timely reminder why it's good to check things over regularly. |

Only 500 miles old! But that does include 3 trackdays... |
So all you need is to clean the scoob.. :lol:

Always :ok: |
Quote:
Love all what you done to the car Ryan, the upgrades are really impressive :worthy: |
very clean and shiny
|
Quote:
The same pads were shocking in the smaller 4 pots but work well in the larger caliper with better cooling. |

Heading off to Brands end of July and so hoping to get FMIC, Fuel Rails, Fuel Pressure Reg, Brake Cooling Ducts all fitted and mapped in before then - but what with Laura's car, something on the 29th June, and associated costs, it may be a bit tight :lol: :lol: |

I have nothing else to say................................... |
*hit! How?
It looks like a blister? |
Quote:
Wiping down with water and a damp cloth! Agreed it seems there must have been a blister under the paint and where I buffed off it literally came off on the cloth... Car back over to lepsons tonight to be inspected... Means I had to bring the car to work and risk it getting bombed by the eagles so I took precautions! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ebff920f98.jpg |
Top man with the car cover , I know you will get it sorted just a pain so close to your trip.
|
Wheels and car now with lepsons - I simply cannot fault their customer service and attitude towards problems..
Had both sprayer and technical guy waiting for me as I pulled in.. Chip tests conducted and they concluded that something must had hit the wheel and then the paint chip came off when I wiped it down - but no bother they will sort it!! And by Friday! Car jacked up while I waited in their secure lock up, pictures taken, wheel off, tyre off, and into the soaker all with 35mins me being there.. Leaves me no way home - not a problem!! Sprayer gives me a ride home in his merc!! What amazing service and resolution to something that isn’t there fault! |
Glad it's being sorted for you :ok:
|
Cool, did you source some nuts too.
|
Quote:
Yep - steel ones in black (Ignore the chip test marks from Lepsons - I nearly passed out when I saw this!) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5bdc264743.jpg |
Oh cool. Glad they sorted it out and issue free.

Certainly do! |
Are the wheel nuts in black speedline ones? (speedline wheel nuts have an insert that goes down the stud inside the wheel)
Glad they are sorting for you. . |

No mate not speedline |
Hi fella, where did you get your repair panels from? Regards
