Glad I was'nt infront of you when you were braking mate! :eek:

That said, I had a Belmont SRi years back, that had front discs worse than that! :o
 
lol they started to sound so bad! and braking felt like my wheel was going to snap of with the julting! the sparks where fun though
 
lol one side was good and i did have a hand brake!.. i will try dig out of the vid on a disk some where.
 
Agreed! That is just stupid to let your brakes get in that state.

I killed my discs today on the MM3 pre-meet... had lots of nice smoke.

I've already got some brand new discs sat here waiting to be fitted.
 
na not really my card stoped strate away the other side was fine and it was still brakeing on the other side of the disk.. and they would still skid if in need.
 
I've had discs worse than that, driving hard can kill a set of discs pretty quickly if you aren't careful.
 
Lopez, I'll take a picture of mine when I swap them next weekend.

Looking through the alloy, I can make out a faint ring where it looks black :D I guess I killed them while testing the car out along the MM3 roads. Be that a warning to everyone else!

I think only cymatty's uprated Brembo's coped with the punishment.

that excuse doesn't wash mate
if the side that was worn had locked the wheel when you were driving(not when you were braking) it could have had you off the road or into on coming traffic
 
So how much stick can standard disks take? say vented ones?

When i use mine hard you can hear them still rubbing on the pad a few mins later! is that bad? (when they cool down they go back to normal)
 
I really dont know why it's going to 'jard' some people off though?. I've had worse disks than this on the front of my Coupe tub.. Whenever i would brake too hard too often it would get mental brake fade and smoke like crazy, and if you carried on pretty soon (3-4 hours of hard driving on 5 month old disks) they would end up like those in the OP.

Does this make me a child killer?.

Yes, thats your disks that need sorting :) My Mondeo Si did this since I bought it, and the discs looked very bad - the disc had worn very thin, dangerously so.
It looked like a few more hard stops would have caused the whole thing to disintegrate.

They were an advisory on the MOT, due to "excessive pitting", but that was an understatement to say the least.
