Braking problems

lethalwithasupra · 07-15-2006, 06:16 AM

This car of mine gives me lots of problems. Couple of weeks ago I checked the brake pads when I fixed something on my suspension ( don't ask, you wont be an accessory ). That was two weeks. Front left one pad has reasonable wear but still good. Next thing I know its worn out and chewed the brake disk ( Yea if you have a comment about the sort of genius it took for me to let my car do that plz p.m. me, don't post it here. Lets keep this thread clean ).

That corner brake has locked up and superheated a bearing before ... shares a line with the front right, which is fine. Also get a creaking-grabbing noise when I apply the brakes -when stationary- and a bit of a grr - grr - grr - grr ( sometimes ) stopping

Calliper, disk, pad replaced. This is starting to drive me totally nuts. In a bad way. What can cause this sorta thing if it isn't any of those ??

Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed.
