Yes, you can pay at the track. $80. Only TopGunRX8 showed and it was great to meet you, had a blast. I might have screw-up something in the rear end sounds like the brakes are rubbing on the right side oops. Well I hope thats all it is!

ack... that sucks... you didn't pull the parking brake when you came back in from a hot lap or something did you?

RXeckless

iTrader: (5)

No! No! Nothing like that. Going to jack it up today to have a look, sounds like somethings rubbing as the wheel rotate, also efforts the rear brakes sometimes under braking. Hopefully it's not a bent rotor.

TopGunRX8

That was fun...and it was great to meet you. This internet thing just might catch on. It felt like I'd known RXeckless for years...he was great at showing me the ropes.

I plan on doing this one other time before it gets really cold. My neighbour (who has a Z06 with some track time) was very jealous.

Brakes rubbing...huh...not sure what would have caused that.

Turn out to a sheared brake pad, some minor scoring on the inside of rotor. With the help of scottish new brakes on the rear in a hour & a half. So it turned out to be a great reason to have a few pints at my place and at the local pub. Thanks again scottish.
Had a full safety done on the car about 5-6 weeks ago with no mention of the rear pads be close to done so my local dealer is going to get a ear full. But in all fairness with a 2 day ADS, 2 track evening at TMP and the club meet at fabi it was bound to happen.

I finished off my tires and OEM pads (stock from brand new car 3 years ago) at the Fabi hehehe... now rolling on Hawk Ceramics all around.

Yea, the more you track your car the more things are bound to wear out quicker than you'd ever think. But it all worth it and it's only money isn't it! If I was not doing this(the track) I spend more time & money around the house and that's not fun at all.

no problem, any time.turning wrenches and having a few beers too,good times. oh my parts are starting to trickle in bit by bit.

mr.zoom

keep in mind that, that is the rear. you might have seized the piston. was it just the one side?

RXeckless

iTrader: (5)

Piston is ok and moving freely, but thanks for the response. I know your going to TMP this evening, I'd love to come out but I have to work. Next time!

which parts ya get? Sorry about the brake stuff.. unfortunately some things have changed in the past couple of weeks which has made me rethink pretty much every purchase I want to make. Lemme know if you want another hand for the install though..

scottish

pistons checked and sliders checked every thing working fine .it was the brake pad surface that broke off the steel backing plate.some scoring on the rotor but nothing that the new pads and a couple of track days can't fix.

thats ok i don't think i need the master cylinder speedbleeder but if you do get them let me know. all my parts came in now.i got the full apearance package so hopefully me and Rxeckless will be installing it this weekend, more than welcome to come out and have a few laughs and a couple of beers.

nate340

how are these holding up on track use? i heard they only last a few track days before they are toast and get fad far earlier than stock.
