awesome thanks for the quick responses...looks like it was due to warping.

Would there be any other causes or is this the pretty sound cause?

Also, if it is the problem can it wait/last 200 some miles? I can get it fixed once I get down to college, but I cant do anything about it before then =/

Hey guys, I just changed my brakes myself today. Front axel and rear axel. The front passenger side rotor is worn and in need of repair, but mind you before this change I had no issues (besides the issues of overworn brake pads).

So everything goes fine, I jack the car up, pop the wheels off, unbolt the caliper, pop out the old brake pads and pop in the new ones and fasten it all back up. I do this for all four disks.

I drop the car down and begin to drive, taking it easy on the brakes and attempting to properly "seat" them by driving at a constant speed and then braking at a constant pressure, nothing sudden. For the first 10-15 miles I feel no problems at all.

A few hours later I take the car out and drive about 10 miles to pick up my girlfriend from work...still no problems. When I'm taking her home, however, I begin to feel a slight knocking from around my pedals...right where the front axel is. THe steering wheel has a slight vibration as I'm coasting, and when I begin to brake it slowly goes away until I accelerate again. I should also note that this only happens when I begin driving faster than 20 mph, and I've yet to try it out going faster than 40 mph. My first thoughts were that it is just the new pads hugging the rotor, and since I did not replace any of my rotors they might be slightly warped so that was the cause...but as I think about it more and more I wonder if it could be something more serious.

I leave for college in the morning and im facing a 250 mile drive. Is this something that will go away as the pads get more worn and seated comfortably or is it something I should get fixed asap?

Thanks for your time and I hope I can shed some light on this situation.

i go to UC and live on campus...dont know anything about wiring, but thought id throw that out there

moto v600 for me...most reliable and easy to re-program phone ive ever used. Gettin a RAZR in for sh*ts and giggles since I got the IMEI of a RAZR on my insurance plan, I can just report a lost/stolen claim and get one for 50 bucks...not a bad deal =/

^^ word ^^

Ha ha theres a station right near my house that's at 3.19 a gallon now, but not even 3 minutes down the road there's a BP station with 2.99 a gallon, and across from that a shell station with 3.09 a gallon...

Funny thing is, there were still cars at the 3.19 a gallon station

About ebay...

I bought my '94 Celica GT stick from Florida with aftermarket 16" Rims and a shortshifter for 5,1k....shipped.

The car sold for 4,8k, and the guy knew someone personally who owned their own shipping company...I got the car from Florida (I live in Ohio) to Ohio in 3 days flat and for 300 bucks. Car wasn't rusted or anything, with 107k miles on it...as far as Im concerned it was a great deal...but yea dont exclude ebay...email sellers and ask about shipping, they may have more connections then you know

Good luck man and hope to see you active in our forum soon! Keep us updated

hes also converting his car to a 5-wheel drive...duh

hey if anyone has any stock 7th gen GT rims, i can trade my rims (pic in profile) for them

Wouild also consider buying them

odds are it wasnt a 195 HP type-R...my bet is if it pulled that quickly on you, it was a 170 HP GS-R with that V-TEC...

hey, OHIOans!!

i agree...sexy ass car. I want those fenders and flares!

Mazda rx-8 all the way though sexy

3k normal

5,5k race

buy from ebay established comanies...ive bought speakers and subs and neons and all that form companies...never had any problems

Stick=GG off the line if you can drive
Auto=evens out if properly tuned by second gear

After second, race is even since manual can shift at redline or max HP (whatever ur style) and auto will shift at same point, depending how you progged it

yup same here mine squeaks when I push it in or out but I can only hear it when the car isn't moving. Where exactly do I spray the WD40? right where the clutch enters (firewall) or what? thanks

thanks man, Ill hit ya up if I run into any problems...subs are due to arrive on tuesday! box needs to be done by then

sell one and with the cash from it buy a turbo and stick it on the other one.

Probably not tuned very well, maybe a ncie tune up would add more...release the true power

reading this whole topic made me want to get these for my red celica...what ya think good look or bad?

Also, I would either take them off for night like dustin or only use highbeams...f*ck not being able to see...not to mention i don wanna give cops another reason to hate

My Current G/F





What you guys think? Change for betta or worse?

(no pity here cuz she's my current g/f, i wanna know ur opinion)

girl: kaylie
boy: jason

i say defffffs do that. Pointikng the subs inward will give them more "bump" as heard mostly in techno. Instead of sounding muddy they will be more crisp and accurate...

Not to mention practicality...do you really want to do that kind of custom cutting? so much easier to mount em backwards
