You may be right, and I did qualify by saying that this was on my bike.

It's also commonly reported by other users, usual pads that are involved are ebc brand, so I'm not the only one. I guess they all might be wrong? Usual fix is to do figure of 8's on sand paper, then reinstall. It does work, for a while.

But remember, this is a bike, not the car.

Bike/car - same principle - but if you had to use a sand paper - then likely to be glazing, but you certainly don't remove it by braking harder.

Its counter intuitive because Glazing reduces braking force, but if its already glazed, the harder you brake, the worse it gets....

I think the problem is that you might not be getting enough heat into the pads initially to burn off the resin...

I am soooo guilty of ruining my brake pads all the time with insufficient bedding in....But to be fair I didn't have time to run the pads in as they were all done on competitive events. In one instance, the pads ran out in less than 15 laps and damaged my rotors... :-p

The glazing wears off anyway. The by product of brakes is heat and wear. the heat causes the glazing (we all know that), the friction wears away the glazing.

I wouldn't even bother sand papering the rotors/pads as it'll be gone after an easy drive anyway. If the pads don't recover from the glazing then think about changing brands.

Yes and no - When the resin crystalises and are on the pad and rotor, there's no way it will wear off simply by braking...because there's not going to be any friction between the 2 surfaces. You can brake as hard as you want but it just doesn't bite.

if a dealer has an on car machiner (lathe) it should be cheap. $40 - 60 a pair. if they have to remove the rotors and sublet them then it becomes dearer.

Which dealer is this?! For the price my dealer quoted me, I could post my rotors away to have them done for $60 and still have change!

The going rate for a pair on car down here is $120+, even at non-dealer workshops!

I am currently @ 123 000kms (I've only replaced the pads once). The brakes are now giving off a pulsating feeling. Should I

a) Get the rotors machined (the rotors have never been machined before)

Approx Cost?

OR

b ) Get New Rotors

Cost?

in either case I will need new pads.

OR

c) StopTech (yeah right!)

Thanks.

Might as well get new pads. How much money do you want to spend?

Do you mean new rotors?

I will have to get new pads in any case.

Price is not of a concern, but if new rotors is not much more than machining the discs, then new rotors it is.

I'd get a new set of rotors. Pick up a set of RDA rotors since they are quite good value, and if you feel the need to spend more, get some DBA. I personally don't think machining rotors is that cost efficient since you are just making them wear out faster and making it more prone to develop the shuddering again.

Expect around the $50 mark for brake rotor machining, per rotor.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
