Boosted cars are like hot women.
A little edgy, every guy wants one,
some guys can't handle them,
and if you throw a little alcohol in them they'll rock your world.

Re: Wheels/Tires/brakes AW11
Also, warped rotors are usually the result of uneven torque on the wheel nuts. Important to do each wheel nut up to the right torque. 100 Nm for an AW.Cai wrote:I also am looking at replacing my rotors, since some of them are a bit warped.

100+ MR2OCNZ runs and counting... When going hard, good rubber's your best protection against unwanted accidents. Buy good tyres!
When you're nearing the end of the drag-strip and you have no 'chute, you may as well keep your foot to the floor... Live life. There ain't no second pass.

Re: Wheels/Tires/brakes AW11
Coincidentally I just bought a torque wrench today! But previously I torqued them all up at my old flat with a friend’s tools so I doubt it was that. I think the rotors were about as warped when I got them as they are now, which is to say not much at all but enough that I want to replace them. I wanted to get some new performance pads in there anyway so it’s a good excuse for a replacement of the rotors
