One day officer I was on a derestricted road with 5 passengers and a fully laiden tank of petrol and a full boot. I had achieved a speed of 140feet per min and the road went down steeply. I decided to take the car out of gear and let test Newtons second law of motion and I confer that it is true.

 

However in realising that a 20mph corner was approaching way too fast i used the full strength in my led to pull the car to a stop.

I slowed to 60mph quite quickly however by this time the brake pedal had gone rock hard ( I'm not sure if this was the brake fluid exanding or something else) anway I had to take a side exit into a layby to eventually stop.

 

By this time the brakes did smell a lot, I got out and discovered that I had tempered the fronts totally and the rears were at least half done as well.

 

Also prior to this hill there was enthusiastic driving for about 30 miles.

 

Has anyone been able to temper their disks through driving on the road?

 

 

Also if anyone in a Fiat coupe 20v turbo tuned to 300bhp fancies testing their brembos I'd like to watch.

 

Anyone here got 6pot's front and 4 pots rear?

I had a go in the Hartge Mini Cooper s (165 to 210bhp conversion) recently and I seem to recall it had 6 pot calipers up front, and 4 at the back. The supercharger made an interesting noise...
