Maybe I'm about to become an old fart just like those guys!

[Alfaduden 226]

I have some bad news. I think my front brake discs is wrecked. They shake a lot during hard braking. I can't understand how this has happened. They were brand new a year ago and 3000km... I even thought that Brembo was quality...

[Filip 124]

Sounds like they warped due to overheating.. Any reason they would do that?

Maybe you need to get the brakes to bed-in again after the car has been standing over winter (new transfer of brake pad material to the brake discs), find an empty road and do some hard braking/ heating cycles (until the brakes stink) but don't rest on the brake pedal if you make a full stop and see if it helps.

[GTV-TB 315]

Hi duden, did you get your braking sorted?

 

[Alfaduden 226]

Hi!
No, I had to park the car and go for a quick hitch out in the North sea. When I came back on friday the farmer had stacked some 20-30 hayrolls in front of the door where the car is parked   so it is impossible to get it out now untill the hay is removed again. I'm also going out on my normal trip next sunday, so the car will probably just stay parked untill I get home again.

 

Do you think that a new bed in is enough? I tried a bit when I had the winter tyres on, but I will try again with michelin on!

[Alfaduden 226]

I also see that the CV boot clamp is not thightening enough... I will have to try the tool from Biltema that my dad bought for fixing his CV boot

[GTV-TB 315]

I do not think your Brembo discs give up in such a way so I think a new bed-in is a good attempt to solve the problem (no guarantees, however).

 

Biltema is a savior.  ..........................

 

And you have not done enough before you want to leave the car as it smell ass.

Yes.. Very old! Exactly one year old last week!

[GTV-TB 315]

You are a brave man who dares to drive such an old car

[Alfaduden 226]

Did a quick detailing last Thursday:

Before:

 

Boot lid:

The whole car was more or less as bad as images above... After a while it started to look better:

 

Boot lid:

Passenger side:

 

 

Pictures of the whole car will come later. I did not make it before I left for work.

GREAT JOB you have done here 

Black paint are amazing for mirror effects as my first gtv was shining 

 

Do you think it worth it on a white paint...?

Thanks! I got a bit tired when I had the bonnet left, so I have to take this one more time... hehe

And YES! It is of course worth doing this on a white paint.. White can shine too

More expences! After removing the catalytic converter the centre silencer had enough and the car is now spitting out glass-thread from the silencer... So after hunting for a used one before I leave for the Nürburgring trip I found out that it was only one good solution...

 

 

It's gonna be LOUD!   

Hopefully after meeting a TB with straight exhaust, this will not be that loud. After all it is a GRAN TURISIMO, and I have to cover almost 2000kms on autobahn... So I don't want to be death when arriving Nürburgring.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we hope you won't be death. Deaf would suck too... We would all have to learn sign language lol

The turbo probably keeps the volume down so you go ahead and remove more stuff!!

[GTV-TB 315]

I use it + a endmuffler and my ears are still attached to the head , as Filip says the turbo itself acts to some extent as a silencer.

[Alfaduden 226]

I have no end silencer... And no Cat... so this will be my only one under the car except the pre cat in the downpipe....
