:eek: Today, i shat myself :eek: ..................

I was on the banny this morning playing around with my boost controler(as you do!). Things were good. Then out of the blue the challenge was thrown by an Audi. I thought 'game on' and shot off!! :hyper: Leaving the Audi for dust. Fookin great i thought until..........................a tw#t of a polo driver decides to pull out. So hit the brakes and nothing :nono: :eek: :eek: . Decision time!!! i swerved back into the out side lane to be met by the rear end of an artic.........so had no alternative but to use the hard shoulder and go on the outside of the artic FFS. I must add the brakes were being applied at all times (kayden stylee). This as i say shocked me. I think its because in the UK you dont have many opportunities to drive fast but over here its the norm meaning i have never had to use the brakes like this before. I gave myself a :mac1: and thought of life LOL.

Can i manage to upgrade my brakes having only 17's on :confused: as im looking at the cost.

 

Thanks, going for a shower now :D

Well recommend the above mate, but also in the short term maybe you should bleed your brakes and renew the fluid? I never managed to make my brakes fade that bad on the roads, and I always used to do 'autobahn' speeds! (learnt my lesson now after getting many points). The only time that I've got really bad fade was on the track, hence upgrading to skyline ones. Dave

Cheers lads. Im defo gonna do it. Never again!!!!!!!!

sort the calliper pistons and seals out to,be surprised how a stuck calliper piston/s can have on braking performance
