FTO AUSTRALIA

here's an interesting one.

get to back practice today at about 1pm, came back out at 2, and notice fluid under the passenger rear tyre. take a closer look, its brake fluid .

also look at caliper, and it appears that i'm missing a brake pad, and the rotor is absolutely stuffed beyond all belief.

this happened in wethril park, i needed to get home to coogee

lawsochap. shaken, not stirred

not something i would wish upon anyone, losing most of your braking...

but it is now that i thank mitsubishi for putting in a tiptronic gearbox to help me slow down

thats when nrma road side assistance comes in handy and even a normal auto can down shift just cant upshift

LOL

you called my friend yet?
Cause I think NOW would be a time to replace..... perhaps

yah dan, we've had a chat.

i needed to check some stuff and i sent him an email. i'm now waiting upon a quote

Ouch dude that sucks... atleast it didn't happen at a worse time and you didn't get hurt.

P.S your sig isn't working

Bit safer than his brakes not working atleast.

It's ok Ben.

Despite everything, you have an FTO.







We will simply find other ways to make fun of you

Funnily enough, NRMA will not help you with anything brake related. Their public liability insurance will not cover incidents that occur after
roadside brake repairs, hence they wont touch them. Best they can do is offer a tow Been there, done that after shearing a caliper bolt last year.

No brake pad at all.. As in it was down to metal, or there was no pad what so ever..??

Man, in this weather it would have been 1 hell of a ride..

it was an interesting ride yeah...

would certainly have been a noisy ride.

you have the worst luck!
