Ive just had my discs replaced under warranty but they wont change my pads, and the stocky pads are crunching.

Hey i was going to buy a set of EBC green stuff pads for the front and black stuff for the back on my 05 stivo.

Has any1 had experience running green stuffs on stock rotors?

greenstuff will chew up the standard rotors pretty quickly.

Ferodo DS2500 are my choice for a performance pad. If you're in Sydney go see Kevin at St Mary's Specialised Brake and Clutch.

So will the Ferodo's leave the standar rotors, or will these pads mince the rotors as well??

Every set of Ferodo DS2500's I've had have been great on the rotors. Race Brakes RB174 and Endless performance pads are also a bit too harsh on rotors for my liking. I've been through a LOT of discs and pads over the last few years.

Do you mean the RB74? I was going to give them a go, but how hard are they on rotors?

Yep, my mistake. I had a set on my rex with DBA slotted rotors, good combo but not as good intitial bite as the DS2500 on the same discs, the Race Brakes pad did eat the discs more than the DS2500. I'd rate the RB74 as better than the expensive endless pads I had on the same car.

Trevor at Brake Distributors of Australia can sort you out with the RB74's if they're what you're after.

If you're after GOOD brake info, check out the brake section at the MRT forums. Steve from DBA gives some excellent advise over there.

im running EBC greenstuff on my stock corolla 03 rotors. (Its a Japanese made sedan).

I changed to the EBC after my stock ones ran out after 55000km. The EBC brake well, but are dusty as. In a fortnight of normal driving, my front wheels is dark grey instead of silver. :lol:

another one for the ferodo DS2500, i haven't had them long enough to notice rotor wear, but they are awesome! no fading at the track in the ST185 and braking power is heaps better then stock pads once they have a little bit of temp into them (don't need a lot)

i think i paid ~120ish for the front set...can't remember exactly...but i will be using them on all the time now i think

I've got ebc green stuff with oryginal discs. I've changed brake pads 5000 km ago, so until now it works ok. There is much more dust on wheels than before (oryginal pads). I've asked the same question some time ago in polish corolla club. Some people told, that everything should be ok, but somebody told, that EBC GS makes discs much more hot, and can destroy it, so after few hard breaking I try to drive slowly and let discs to be not to hot.

Sorry for my bad english

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊

      2012 Hilux with snorkel stopped after getting stuck in water

      Hi guys, my sons 2012 Hilux (diesel) engine stopped when he got stuck in a deep mudhole last night. I had a quick look after driving for about 130km with a car trailer to get his car and it has been immersed in muddy water over the top of the battery. The water level on the inside of the car apparently reached top of seat height before they managed to snatch it out of the water. The car has a snorkel, however, the engine stopped whilst the hilux was still immersed in the water up to its bonnet. What would have caused the engine to stop? Typically what would one expect to need to clean out, replace etc in order to sort this?

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Definitely can't get the pump out through the hole in the floor. The top of the pump has a larger diameter than the hole. 2nd pump has arrived from the wrecker. I will be removing the tank and installing it today.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Jeez that's unfortunate. Here's hoping the next one makes it to the right place. I've spent a long time looking, but I haven't seen any videos or images where that mechanism has come out through the inspection hole - I really hope I've just been looking in the wrong place! I've got my fingers crossed for you Geoff!!

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      How easy is it to replace power steering pump?

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?
