yeah shud make a min time limit thing, too fast kena saman
of cos this is open to picnic technique (clarkson style) abuse
so we just need to drive on 2nd gear around 40kmh all d way then no need speedbumps
IMHO the speedbumps are a nuisance. the only times my car "is too fast" is when i see speedbumps. engine braking kao kao on 2nd gear = no need to worry about brake fade much. if u use brake unnecessarily too much if accident occur in front of u takut no brakes left.

i use all 4 disc what to scared off..

change brake pad that can stand higher heat~

Just tried to change to 3rd gear (#rd as in for Auto transmission car) today ~~~ Very very first time ~~~ During cornering today good that it slowed down and no need to press brake too much ~~

However, during uphill I was pressing the pedal and changing to 3rd at the same time, the car do have increased power of going uphill ~~

But then, i smelt some burning smell @@ just a very slight musk burning smell ~~

How come? Is it during change of gear not suppose to press pedal at the same time eh? Thanks for advice ~

uphill got burn smell??? is it from ur engine or cars from opposite road emitting burn brake smell??

i lulz at this
a short cut way to turun bukit
"unknown car flew from d top of genting and crash at d gotong jaya round about'

wow, after i read most of the postings, i can conclude that we have plenty of pro drivers in LYN here. LOL!

cannot simply change brake pad to stand higher heat..cause if u normal city drive..there is not enough heat to warm up ur brake pads and will cause ur brake don't function well enough..unless u everytime drive also press brake all the time lar..

and talking about this..is auto brake pad and manual cars brake pad is different??cause auto kind of like brake so much all the time..will they use a better brake pads on auto cars??

ah damn; i missed hte recent genting experience

erm bro,
brake pad that can stand higher heat means it can take more braking before brake fade kicks in ler
it wont affect your city drive braking and such ler....

have u heard of
0 - 600 degrees brake pads?
0 - 800 degrees brake pads?

those rating is there for a reason...

auto and manual car brake pad is the same ler....

lol kcng; time to throw some RS pads to them

umm..didn't wor.. not yet touch brake part in my ride so far..only doing up engine
thanks for ur info..

lol.. dont ignore touching ur brakes n caliper;

especially when u scoop up ur engine; make sure u have enough stopping power

n FYI; stock rotors only can take up to a certain heat degree b4 the start turning RED n start warping

o_O
i find this a good point..
ppl intend to mod for more bhp
n they forget to scoop more stopping power
n end up crashin they're 4++bhp skyline cos of the stock brembo

yeah...
if those who wan to try plz bcareful n try on empty space without car at slow speed

p/s : i hope i make ur day

into that..into that..looking for rx7 brake calipers..cause currently i'm using drumbrake only ah.. but i just change my drum brakes master pump..brake pads..everything in my brake is new..just that is drumbrake only..

scooping up engine is a must..cause my current gearbox is failing me already..so i got to replace with 1.6 gearbox into 1.3 engine..(power will "kurang"..)..i dun like power kurang..so transplant a 1.6 engine then only from there start playing with brakes..

ehm.. alot of ppl think 4 pot brakes is like a over kill on certain car;

well to me; the bigger the better lol; i find it better and u need way less effort to stop the car

even with my ek9 caliper brakes set; i still find the damn brakes not makan enough

i need more

bigger powah brings out bigger responsible
im in dat rich to mod such big bhp
i wouldnt save $ mod d brakes as well.

Yalor, closed the window edi, somehow smell some very very light burning @@ So shouldn't be the opposite road gua
Today din change to 3rd gear edi ~ just step pedal in D gear

observe the temp meter and abnormal on ur rides...if suspect anything.. stop aside n check it...(not worth the risk...)
