My scoob failed its MOT yesterday due to excessive disc wear...

Car has done about 4000 miles max, 2 track days (Brands Indy & Oulton Park) & ScoobyLive! last year.

In situ - notice lack of grooves in disc



Shot showing the pads in the callipers. When the setup was new, the back of the pads would have been up have had the pistons pushed right back in.



Pad still has over 1/3 life left! But note the thickness of the disc




Another shot showing more clearly the wear on the disc. Pretty even overall, hardly much grooving.



Good thing about this set-up is that its comparitively easy to split the disc from the bell and get some more discs






Next set will be Godspeeds and only DS2500s I think!

 

Its the DS3000's that does it , a good pad but very hard wearing on the discs

 

Ah! I was going to call you in the morning

Yes, they are a good pad but I think I need to make discs last more than 2 trackdays LOL

Going to need some discs to go on that Alcon pattern bell please & preferably asap so that I can get them on, pads bedded and MOT sorted before ScoobyLive! next weekend!

Catch you tomorrow

 

Think you'll be disappointed with DS2500 after using DS3000. How about Pagid Blue, my disc wear is acceptable with these and they bite a lot harder than DS2500.

 

i run AP 4 pots and discs with the DS 2500 pads and my discs are FUBARED too probably alot worse than yours as well, im swaying towards the PF discs and pads this time

 

In the post

 

& no-one can accuse me of not getting the most out of my discs

New Vs Old




Not really suprised it failed it's MOT

 

"Good hard or go home"..... thats my motto!

 

yes you certainly got your moneys worth out of them
all ok now with the Mk 2 version

 

Looking good

Just going out to fit 'em on as the MOT is @ 08:30 in the morning

Hardly going to have time to bed in the pads LOL

Worse bit is sitting there putting on all the nuts n bolts!

 

Hey Puff..

This is what DS3000 look like on track !



My discs didn't last long either !

 

Passed the MOT

Thought I would be in trouble as only 8 miles from me to MOT station, hardly enough time to bed in for the brake test

But

He'd done that part last week with the old discs and it had already passed that no problem - today was just a visual check! LOL

Good to go on the Queen's Highway again
