Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Tony_220: Rover coupe turbo

looking good... i saw one of these once and it was so tricked out it was impossible to tell what it was

my carrillo rods

Verynice Tony like them.

Tested them yet???

nice. are you sure the discs are the right way?

like i keep on saying very nice, you bedded them in yet lol

they looks awesome,but theyre on the wrong way, i doubt it'll make much difference tho

You can fit the brakes with the grooves either way.

Mine are fitted the same (Front is to the right)



Groves pointing inwards provides the best braking, though it generates more noise than outward pointing groves, and eats pads faster.

Groves outwards generates less braking effort, though there is less noise and pads last better.

All all honesty though, Im considering turning mine round. The balance of size of brakes and weight of car means turning mine round probably wont compramise the brake effort and Ill have less noise and longer lasting pads, on a heavier car though Id prolly leave them this way...

stuey can you get pics up of the width part of the disc. to show the web on the inside of the disc.

Lol, I see what your getting at, but it doesnt matter if the veins draw air from the inner side of the disk, or the outside.

For info though, the veins on mine angle the opposite way to the grooves (Mine are AP Rotors)

Also, every race car Ive ever seen, Inc my mates Starion, all run their rotors in the same direction as Tony and myself.

Ahem

think the garage that fitted them for him must know, cant see them putting them on the wrong way round!!!!

i love this car. dont really like rovers but i like the coupes, especially this one.

woah how odd is that,they look wrong but theyre right. Next theyre will be tyres designed to draw water to the centre of the tyre lol

:s what are u going on about tyres that draw water in! i think its a bit obvious that this way would give more friction between the pads and disc instead of flowing with them (flowing with them obviously making less friction) the garage didnt tell me to do them this way i told the garage do because its the way hispec say to
