any one??

you should drive the car

wow what a lame answer..

when the car sits the disc gets rusty water spots on it, when you drive the car and use your beaks then the pad rubs off all the rusty spots. So his answer was valid, your just a tool

The disc is specially heat tolerant iron, and one of the side effects is instant rust.

Take the wheels off and steel wool the surface, spray the dust away with water and the rust will be back before it's dry.

I bought some Centric discs that were a lot better, but still rusty......


S

are you 4 realz ?

my frind tld me that brakz are jus 4 lokz anyway so ill prob juz tak mine off

Your question wasn't really stellar either. Your attempt at attaching a picture was even less so.

Anyway, the big shiny disk is called a brake rotor (not to be confused with the rotors in the engine). The brake pads will rub the rust off the areas of the rotors they come in contact with when you brake. That's why Chris told you to drive it.

For the other areas you can take the wheels off, scrub the rust off the affected area and apply a protective paint.

lmao @ teh p0w3ge

some people just dont get it.....its sad......and for a lame person to post a lame question without the proper research is well....lame...my answer was short and to the point....also it was truthful and valid....so please troll go home....you are sad and maybe deserve more pie

Way to be a good sport.

Unbelievable. You post a fairly stupid question, and then post again like TEN MINUTES later because no one posted an answer in all of that time, and then when someone posts a 100% accurate answer to your question you call it lame.

I can't speak for the others here, but you're annoying the hell out of me. To the point that I strongly suspect that that is all that you are doing here. If you aren't trying to be a troll on purpose, then you sure are doing a good job of acting like one.

no, its his brother/dad 's that turboed!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

like everyone said, just go drive it.

I hear urine removes rust from any surface! Just be careful not to hit the paint....

I just noticed that he posted a screenshit from a web site instead of a picture of his actual rusted brake rotors.

Now why would he do that, if he actually owned an 8?

DaRotary, give us some evidence that you actually have an 8. Pop the hood and look on the underside. There is a vacuum hose routing diagram, and something else next to it. What does the other sticker say?

thats a big head

mmm pie

that head looks like a clock with the way its eyes are moving
