MJP-STI Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 In the video you can see me take to much of the inside kerb and hear the thud, near the end of the video. Yeah centre cap decided it was to much and quit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat properly melted them those brakes took a hammering by the look of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP-STI Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Pads disintigrated, and ruined the rota's, not sure they are supost to do that so I will be in touch with clinic tomorrow, over heat and fade but to disintigrate like that is not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 On another note, the pictures of you were good on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essbon Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Wow.... Out of curiosity, do you know what pads your using? I can can highly recommend Pagid RS29, not a cheap pad but were superb at the 'ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP-STI Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Ones that came with the expensive kit from clinic, never expected them to disintegrate must be a fault. fade yes, disappear no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsa-king Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 2nd track session for Mike was a good one to watch, I don't think anything g past him, he held it together well when a Forester Turbo spin in front of him too.

Best get the car to us for a look see. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP-STI Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) This is not a dig at Clinic or the parts you guys supply. I've spent a bit with you and still have plans to. Understand I should of contacted you guys first and this wasn't a pop, It was sharing my day good and bad. Been speaking to Dan and as usual you guys are trying to help. Ive only posted pics and commented on this site so I hope you see it was just experience sharing and not a bashing Edited September 26, 2016 by MJP-STI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi, no worries I just know that on some forums the very mention of our name is enough to get the haters out. As stated before I can see how hot they have got must have been working them hard, and as S Bonn points out you would be better to upgrade to the pagid RS pads, not cheap but they do work and they do last especially for track use where anything can be pushed to breaking point kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I've just been looking on the shop at the kit http://shop.scoobyclinic.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=63_141&product_id=521 i think that although it says pads are for a mild track day experience, you may want to alter the wording to reflect what mild is. When I look at a track day, it's exactly that, a day, where the car goes on track for several 20 minute sessions. Between outings a reasonable set of pads should cool enough to allow another heat cycle and so on. I think Mike did a couple of 20 minute sessions on the day, all be it hard. Forget the pads, but the rotors are advertised as Race Specification which look to have got very hot, so it looks like the pad combination with rotor isn't really suitable for track day duty. I think it would be better to say within the advert, road use pads, but an option to upgrade the package to Padgid RS or EBC or whatever for track day use. That way a discussion can be had with the customer at the time of purchase. Obviously I don't know what was said at the time, so don't know if this happened, but either way expert advice and communication is key. Just my thoughts.

Dan_SCR_RA Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thank you @Steve for the feedback, I have amended the wording on our shop. As stated, we are trying to come to a conclusion with Mike to get this issue rectified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsa-king Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Mike's tested the kit well though... lucky he only did two 15min sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi, kits have been well tested on all our race cars 5 years ago, 50 kits later and only this one thats over heated. They are made for us with our logo by TWR racing, who also make the K sport and D2 versions so plenty of them out there Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP-STI Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'm not slating the kit or its proven ability's, I would not of bought them from you Kev if I had any dout. Always been happy with your kit and crew. Like you said they over heated alot, and in a 15 minute session with only 3 braking points per lap I was shocked they went this way. I would of deemed it mild track use. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Maybe a batch of faulty pads ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gaffer Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi, sent out a set of replacement pads, cost £133.00 + vat, they are uprated ones and to you they are free, see how you get on with them. Shows that the power was there though, it just dissipated through the brakes. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
