insane brake dust - my.IS

lexietech · 11-18-2005, 01:18 AM

FYI ,im seeing cars with only 200 miles on the 350s and the front wheels dirty as can be with brake dust....the 350 pads are soooo soft and sticky that about 10000 miles for brake life will be normal

and those that are mad that the traction control turns back on at 25mph .there is a trick when starting the car to turn off the VDIM at all speeds,but it kinds makes it easy to burn up the rear tires.

**bartkat** · 11-18-2005, 01:33 AM

I don't care about money.

lexietech · 11-18-2005, 01:41 AM

k fine....but you better think of me each time you drift the car at 60 mph and if you slam think of someone else.....but i want tons of +rep.....

speedyj88 · 11-18-2005, 01:42 AM

Seriously, what the hell, if you know the answer to something people are DYING to know, why wouldnt you tell? I think people understand that they will be able to burn out their tires easily. And also, the 255s are not that much more expensive than other tires.

EDIT: Lay it on us.

You're real close to a gray rep box right now.

lexietech · 11-18-2005, 01:43 AM

no trac....no vsc...no electric countersteering.....and the gas pedal responce is quicker......

PureNick · 11-18-2005, 01:43 AM

<3 the pads on the IS300 from the factory, they never dusted. Maybe Lexus went the cheaper route with the brakes this time around?

I switched from those to Axxis Ultimates and my rims are black after maybe 500 miles of driving. Sucks :\

I'll check in a day or two and see if you ever posted anything. It's late.

lexietech · 11-18-2005, 01:47 AM

speedyj88 · 11-18-2005, 01:49 AM

I think I do, if this works! Hell, I'm giving you some rep. now just for getting our hopes up!

Just to clarify, after you press either the brake or parking brake the 2nd time, you keep it held down right, so in essence 1 2(hold)regular brake.... 1 2(hold)parking break etc... until the skid lights stay on. Does this also disconnect ABS!?

FYI:
You cannot give Reputation to the same post twice.

Awe c'mon PLEASE!!!

I know it's late, if you can't get to it tonight, let us know when you can! I'm so excited about this I'm NEVER gonna be able to fall asleep tonight. Not only might I be able to pick up my 3-fifty tomorrow, I may actually be able to ruin my rear tires too!

speedyj88 · 11-18-2005, 01:57 AM

Someone please go out and test this...I'm dying to know if it works.

**bartkat** · 11-18-2005, 02:03 AM

Ok I did it. The little orange car icon with the squiggly lines behind it comes on and stays on. I didn't drive it, but it did light up.

You RAWK, not that you need it, but have some rep as well! Curious, how many times did you push each pedal?

Thanks again!!!

boyishracer · 11-18-2005, 02:06 AM

lexietech · 11-18-2005, 02:07 AM
