Glow in the dark brakes

synclastica_86 · 08-24-2016, 07:52 AM

I was having some fun with my fiesta ST on some switchback roads, this this happened... Lol

mojobmw_e90 · 08-24-2016, 08:02 AM

And thats how rotors get warped.

J.M · 08-24-2016, 08:05 AM

Yup. Those will never be the same again.

alz0rz · 08-24-2016, 08:07 AM

Hope you didn't set your parking brake afterwards.

synclastica_86 · 08-24-2016, 08:09 AM

It's alright... I have my AP rotors and calipers on order. They will be installed next week XD

J.M · 08-24-2016, 08:29 AM

Oh, but of course, what else...

ezndo · 08-24-2016, 08:35 AM

The definition of consumable items......

Questofthetune · 08-24-2016, 12:09 PM

Suprised they didn't fuse to the pads with a stand still like that.

MightyMouseTech · 08-24-2016, 12:25 PM

That's what happens when the brakes act as the limited slip.

wdb · 08-24-2016, 12:34 PM

Be sure to flush the brake fluid.

MikeRR · 08-25-2016, 04:22 AM

Quick get some ice cold water on them

What about your poor wheel bearings and cv joints!

Lol... I'd rly love to try it next time.

On a more serious note, what happens when you hit a small puddle after pushing hard? Surely brakes can't be damaged that easily could they?

I must stress that this is caused by enthusiastic driving and not by dragging the brakes. Pushing the car places stress on every part of the car. In my book, that's not a reason not to push the car. I refuse to baby a car so minimize wear on parts. If it breaks, then it breaks. Just an excuse for an upgrade... Lol

Bcs gas bubbles may have formed in the brake lines? Will they go away automatically when the temperature subsides?

Nope.

I thought this was about an Auto Zone modification that people started doing to their cars. Spray on rotor glow.

Think about that. Would a person who would buy this product from autozone take the time to remove their wheel and cleanly spray the rotor? Nahhhh, too lazy, overspray everywhere!

1MOREMOD · 08-30-2016, 11:40 AM

Dude they shouldn't continue to glow after you park

Probably true. However if anybody did it, I would want to be there to see the wheels fall off.

SSJTrunks523 · 08-30-2016, 12:15 PM

I saw a custom motorcycle exhaust with skulls that showed up as the exhaust heated. Could see someone doing similar to rotors. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Perfect time to pressure wash the wheels!
