 Wouldn't like to have you following me in your car. Bet they crack or break up shortly. Bad Idea  ________________________________________  RIP Pete Sims |

Haha this is a FAIL. I feel it's abit harsh on him, but I guess they say there's only two ways to learn in life, the easy or the hard way, I think getting the p*ss ripped out of him is by far the easiest way, unless he wants to land himself in jail for killing someoneBy the way Ben, don't let ANYONE rip into your air box, pure GENIOUS, I love it ________________________________________ 1990 Cherry Red 205 Gti-62000 Mitsubishi Galant V6 |

I hold my head in shame! New brakes on order! It's good to see that you lot speak your mind and no beating around the bush. Not being funny though, how safe are Black Diamonds and EBC turbo grooves if they are cracking as often as they are? Surely they are no better than my home brew Death Disks?________________________________________ |

Good man. As you say, people are just saying it like it is, so nothing personal. Glad you've seen the error of your ways mate.The thing is, those Black Diamonds are done under strict manufacturing guidelines with expensive machinery, to precision tolerances. There designed with grooves in mind and there still known for cracking...I personally wouldn't touch them. So it goes without saying if you take a drill to a set of discs that are designed to be solid, it's more than likely going to end terribly. Glad your sorting them though  ________________________________________ 1990 Cherry Red 205 Gti-62000 Mitsubishi Galant V6 |

the black diamond disks will be cooled properly when they are drilled, therefore reducing the risk of stress build up and localised heat treatment/hardening around the holes. you have not tempered the disks, or stress relieved them so they will crack sooner or later. Please dont use these on the road, your insurance is void and the disks are not E marked. |

Yeah, but its easier to live with a flaming on here than have to explain yourself to a jury or a bereaved parent, shame really because you made a nice job of them and I personally thought (asthetically) they looked pretty good. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Seen endless of these discs at the ring and on very expensive cars like the rs4 etc etc and these had cracks where the holes on the discs were. Dont think they are that good when done professionally.Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.

Well, you can have them, but they're still rather round and rough-surfaced blanks at the minute Progress on the new workshops is a bit slow due to having no new cars ordered for a few months  I'll give you a bell about it later on in the week jim ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Only decent disks apart from solid faced ones are dimpled disks like what Porsche and Mercedes use. However these have dimples not holes, and there arn't drilled out they are cast that way in a mould so that as previously mentioned you dont end up with weak areas in the disk ! Pretty sure thats right anyway ________________________________________ Cherry RALLYE |
