My phone call to Kev earlier "hi, umm do you know how I can turn the ABS off?"

"Err, why do you want to do that? What's wrong with it??"

"Oh nothing, we just need to do a demonstration with them"

"riiight"

"I'll post pics this evening"

Well I must say that the impressive sig-pic might almost be worth losing ONE set of tyres! What a coooooooool pic... I'm lovin' it :twisted:

We were filming a driver training video for someone (him driving not me :( ) and he needed a front wheel drive car to demonstrate some braking techniques on.

 

I'll get some of the footage up as soon as I can 8)

:) Oh and I've just got standard VAG disks (genuine, not GSF!) and Pagid FR pads... nowt that exciting, but they do a damned good job 8)

[jedi-knight83 0]

are the gsf ones no good then?

[dinkus 10]

are the gsf ones no good then?

 

According to Mr. Haywire they're not the same grade steel and wear out a lot quicker. They're made by the same company, but don't meet the same quality specs.

 

The VAG ones certainly work very well with the Pagid pads tho...

Yes way :) The Pagid pads do make a world of difference to both the pedal feel and the stopping power. Although this is comparing it to tired VAG pads on very, very tired VAG disks.

It was about 70ish, I'll have to check exactly on the footage.

Git. I should have been there, instead I was heaving a dying cavalier round some very plesant scottish B roads.

 

My polo made that kind of smoke when I took ross out for that little blatt ages ago :mrgreen:

I must get broadband - only took 22 mins to download on dial up. So how did you disable the ABS? Interesting bit of pitching on the front end So how many miles did you take of the tyres then :lol:

Broadband - yes, yes you should :D

ABS - You disconnect one of the sensors. The connectors for the front wheels are on top of the struts. Just un-plug one and tyre-smoke a plenty :)

Pitching - Yeah that's cos the tracking had already been thrown out earlier in the week :roll: I'm still trying to fix it :(

Miles - It took all of the miles off the fronts because the flat spots went almost down to the canvas. The rears are still fine though.

VR sounds sweet 8)

Yup, so panic over :)

 

The rest of the video is slowly coming together now, there's a heck of a lot of footage and we still need to film some more :lol:

 

It's gonna be a good DVD though, I'll keep you all posted 8)
