When I booted it he sore white smoke come out of my exhaust. Any ideas?Get him to watch it for an extended drive, give it some WOT treatment. If it is happening regularly then get it checked out. Quick google says white is water burning (like steam), blue tinge is oil and black is running rich. I know my car puffs black if I give it full throttle sometimes but that's no drama. Only bad for the 317 R8 that was falling away at the time hahaha...I could get a set of those badges and add "rwkw" to it, that'd put the wind up em!

The DBA's with decent pads are also supposed to last a lot longer than the standard Brembo rotor and pad configuration, which I think you were saying you got not much life out of your Brembo rotors?yeah, saw yours on the cruze, seem like da bomb. did u go for the ceramic pads? got 30k outta my brakes. in saying that the pads still have 1/3 left on them and the rotors arnt "that" bad.... just noisy.

Wish I needed rotors though, those T3 series look sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely tell the difference from front to rear even after 2 weeks unwashed. Had some super dusty mofos in the car when I bought it in 08, I expect that the police used Bendix Ultimate or a similar performing high dust pad.

Or covers?Ive got a few. I think most of them have cracked glass. $120 a pair on ebay and $50 for the covers. They always crack if you dont run some sort of cover. Todd and I have the thick vinyl sheets on ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I want to bid on genuine ford at $20 or buy it now perspex folding side ones for 30. I'm well past due replacing my cracked foggie...useless things.
