Nice find. That would certainly give any ZRE some serious stopping power.

Tempting indeed....

hmm, not sure if it fits my car, since my car has a larger disc than pre-facelift due to VSC

Anyone can guide me?

I am more inclined to RDA slotted..don't know where to find

I read articles that cross-drilled is not suitable for tracking.

also, special pad are required.. what happen if my pad is out?

i have found this EBC as well

I am still doing research of whether changing rotor is necessary for my car in Wakefield....my brake pad works in very high temperature and my brake fluid can reach almost 300 degree.. How much heat is carried away by this rotor? I don't know

I'd imagine it would still fit (that's if the US kit works on the AUS model) because even though you may have different rotors on the facelift, you are changing the calliper as well and you'd think the mounting points would be the same.

I read articles that cross-drilled is not suitable for tracking.

Cross drilled rotors would be more susceptible to cracking when exposed to track use, but it's not to say that you will definitely have that issue. Considering the size of the rotor for the car it would be used on, I think you would be relatively safe because they would provide plenty of stopping power before reaching their limits. But that's my own thinking, I'm no expert.

The cross drilling is useful for racing, but. Cracks do form at the holes as they are stress raisers, doesn't matter the weight or speed, cracks can still form as 1300kg of car moving at 150km/h or so still contains a lot of kinetic energy. The purpose of cross drilling is to give the gases released from the brake pads somewhere to go (into the ventilation channel). Just keep an eye on the holes to ensure the cracks aren't getting serious.

Rotor surface treatments are only required if the pad selection has be chosen correctly for the application and the car is suffering from brake fade due to out gassing. A soft pedal from boiled or old brake fluid, or overheating pads wont be solved by slots and holes. Cheapest way to get the brake rotor breathing is by removing the shields from behind the rotor, makes a huge difference and costs nothing but time.

isn't it just :D

Always thought Wilwood were like a couple of grand, and UK brand.. Not a big fan of drilled, always preferred grooved/slotted but what a top price.. So tempting, ZRE brakes are crap

what is the point of changing rotor then? the track i am racing only need to brake 3 times in a 1:20 lap, i doubt whether overheating in a problem... they are as follows

First brake usage 150km/h to 80km/h in <3 seconds

Second brake usage 120km/h to 60km/h in <3 seconds

Third brake usage 125 km/h to 60km/h in <3 seconds

Moreover, my A1RM brake pad has very few dust, I start to doubt the advantages of changing brake rotors. I did not suffer brake fade so far

      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.
