tesla crash at who knows what, off at 160+

[sickmint79]

complete moron almost kills himself:



seems to have ignored both the brake manufacturer's instructions, as well as any common fucking sense, every step of the way.

used STOCK brake fluid

> yup and i didnt do a full flush i only filled up what i lost during the [big brake kit install] process. They recommend getting rid of the stock fluid completely and now we all know exactly why.

i literally changed the fluid on my brz the second day i owned it, and before i even put gas in it for the first time. as far as i can tell from the channel the dude is a drag guy if that, maybe just a guy that owns fast cars. idiot is even bitching and trying to blame tesla.

and who the fuck blazes around full speed on a real track without a helmet? it's AMAZING this dude didn't die.

Just like the last Texas 2k. Until someone dies zero tech will be enforced.

To kind of piggy back onto this, I imagine if anyone has researched the hell out of this it has been you, my Cobra is going to 2004 Cobra brakes all the way around and a new hydraboost unit, I assume I should be going to a much better brake fluid when he installs it, any recommendations?

“If I was wearing a helmet it would have broke my neck”

this statement reeks of the ol’ bullshit story

“my cousins friend was in an accident and the cop said if he had a seat belt on he would have been killed”

 

[Stink Star]

Also the argument of “why does the car have track mode if you can’t drive it on the track” is bullshit. Even corvettes have you perform modifications before using them on a track (adding trans fluid). Anybody with any common sense knows that brakes are the #1 thing that must be perfect on a track car.

I used to use ATE type 200 back in the day when you could get it in two colors.

Motul 5.1 is what I’d use and what I’ve got in my jack stand car

Fucking idiots for not bleeding/flushing with fluid that can handle race temps.

Also fucking idiot for not wearing a helmet.

Also fucking idiot #3 for having mis-matched tires on the car which will cause the balance to change as the tires heat up.

If I was going to be tracking something like that, Castrol SRF brake fluid. Don't care about the cost.

Hell, if I was going to start seriously tracking the RS, I'd fill it with SRF. peace of mind.

 

[Spivitz]

I wonder if insurance will cover it after watching the video

Yep, changing the fluid is less expensive / hassle than wrecking the car / getting injured

Easiest way to write off a car at a track day is using old fluid, wrong fluid. I write a date on every bottle when I open it and if its older than a year it gets thrown out.

If you aren't tracking (race track not a drag strip) it you don't really need track fluid. I have used castrol SRF in my mazda3 which I daily drive and track but I also change that fluid every year before the new track season. The issue with track fluid is for the higher boiling point it pulls in more water out of the air so you can't just leave it in the car for 3-4 years like more stockish fluid.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

After each track day at Road America I would flush and replace the bike‘s fluid with RBF600, front and rear.

 

[VenomousDSG]

Wow, brilliant work

Darwin failed

There will be other opportunities with him in the future i'm sure.

 

[Pro Stock John]

He's a guy with money trying to become a youtube star., think he used to have a viper.

He's been drag racing that car for quite a while he should know what his car can/can't do. he gutted his to make it lighter.

This girl I knew in HS lives her life by this. Even to this day. I just nod my head and let pieces fall where they will.

Same car that was submerged in a lake at one point?

i used rbf 600 but if not tracking there is not much to worry about. i have a bbk on the brz and it's so light that i'd really only bleed them once the season started due to the hydroscopic properties. on the sti i used to bleed them before almost every track day though. modern cars became a lot chonkier and plenty of people seem to bleed them throughout the day now too.

you can use paint and strips to find out what temperature stuff is getting up to also.

How Hot Are Your Brakes Getting? Pads, Rotors, Fluids? - Point Me By

Wondering how hot your brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid are getting? Do you know how close you are to brake fade? Here's how to measure it to be sure!

[YoushallgoFo]

Only a matter of time when you have a car that traps 150+ in the hands of the inexperienced for this shit to happen.

 

[RedBeard]

What a fucking idiot. Zero remorse for him.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

The problem is he probably treated it like a drag strip. Except at a drag strip you make your run, jam on the brakes to slow down, then you have a long, slow, lazy trip to get back in line where the brakes often cool down enough that the heat doesn't soak into the fluid.

At a road course, there is little to no time to cool down the brakes.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Everyone has known the brakes overheat on these, why he wouldn’t do anything ahead of time is beyond me.

 

[Flyn]

He has money so he is invincible and never at fault.

“Good brakes” Cheyenne mused, inspecting the damage, “but certainly not great brakes.”

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

I don’t know much about the plaid brakes, but just watching the video it looks like it has big ass carbon rotors and six pot brakes. Why the fuck would they not put a dot 4 high temp fluid in the car from the factory?
And what race track let’s you go out without a helmet on?
