lol cookie chill. best thing to do is learn to ignore if it bothers u.

i personally don't mind a post every now and then to keep the thread active be a picture or not. that s204 post was pretty interesting...

who cares lah i'd rather ignore a couple posts that don't really apply, as opposed to have to scroll down pages of countless flaming.

MARK1992 SG

agreed..this is the only mature post in this entire forum

ceecookie SG

Yes,i know flaming is even worse but i myself do not want it to happen either.In fact im been ignoring his many posts but it seems best to the thread if G.R decrease his posts per day to the same as other's

Icemoon SG

Is there a little rust at the M3’s brakes?

wrx_sti_22b SG

The car's front seems to have pasted on a protective transparent guard or something...

tomsss SG

that means that car has passed by an area that had rained Laughing

tomsss SG

mostly like goes up north quite often

ceecookie SG

i think not.Rust dont form that quick.

tomsss SG

oh you'll be surprised.. splash water on it and see what happens an hour later Wink

rust on brakes is not really of a big deal, the rust is only on the surface. Just go drive round the block with brakes applied and it'll be gone.

Variodical SG

Isn't that brake dust?

ceecookie SG

oh...thanks for the info Very Happy

But how come the rust form quite fast?From what i know metal takes like days to rust

CDL SG

not really. i work with metal very often at work and sometimes its just a matter of water drying on metal to cause oxidation. its really just as previously mentioned the brake dust + moisture leaving a rust looking mark that sits on top. if the brake discs were actually corroding then yes, there would be issues.

hal SG

i belive the BMW was using the cast iron disc brake, an alloy. The Fe contain of this alloy may be high but i dont think it will just get rusty within an hour. Perhaps it should take some longer time. Several days, i guess. I belive even if the car was parked nearby any beach, which of there maybe salty air, it still wont rust that fast.

tomsss SG

so how do you explain that M3 shown with rusty brakes? car running around with defective and corroding discs? Laughing

Its just surface rust gosh... exposed metal in contact with water and air, iron oxide starts to form from the surface. All you need to do to make it look nice, shiny and new is just drive around and brake for a short distance!

HeXy SG

Yeap i agree, i usually experienced the rust on my discs too.. One moment they are not there, in the blink of an eye, rust formed! Laughing
Just drive around and it would be gone..
