hey all

just wondering, i had my pads changed and rotors machined on my 34 the other day and now the new pads have started squeelin pritty bad once they heat up, is this normal? are they just bedding in?, they are semi street pads, pulls up ok but the guy said it will only get better as they bed in?

any help would be good, let me know

thanks

Try some anti-squeal stuff.

My Endless SSS pads squealed for a few months before they stopped. I did not have my discs machine however, and nor did I apply anti-squeal stuff.

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.

      Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
