00- being GAY!!

[netherland24]

well 2 nights ago weather was crappy and took out the solara .... big mistake cold air intake and it rained like crazy car shut off 2 -3 times...

and then i got it going then last night and the wheel pretty much fell off, when driving....

so i took the tire off and see that the rotor is completely rusted over and the studs broke off...

so now i think is time to either sell the jerk.... or put it in the garage and get it on car stands and work on the whole thing body and all!

[PXLpainter]

HFC!!

Just happy to live in SoCal! NO RUST!!

[Dawgz]

and so ur basically also saying ur car kind of hydrolocked? since u said it stalled because of the CAI + Rain

[ThatVietGuy]

How many studs broke off?

[QuickSEV6]

Wait a sec...

I live in Texas and I don't have any rust. I don't understand how you are getting so much corrosion on your car.

[NeFaRiOuS_SLE]

Crap dude that sux... Sorry it happened! Were you using OEM/cheap rotors?

[netherland24]

yeah i lost 3 studs and 1 just about fell off.

the rotors are in okay shape.

i just ordered new slotted disc's for all around. and new studs.


yup it hydrolocked... since i have to repair this stuff i think i am gona go all out on the car and put new stainless steel brake lines while in down there and paint cat.

- and suggestions on where to get a RSB? i have a whiteline front i will put on it now since it will be up on stands

[anttarz]

i think reggie (NVDIS1) might still have trd rsb available

[PhreakdOut]

WTF? I don't think you hydrolocked. Did you submerge the front end in water to a level higher than the air filter? If you did, then doom on you and you deserve it. There's no excuse to be out driving through high standing water in a lowered peformance car.

Broken studs are typically not corrosion. They usually break when extra long studs are used in combination with wheel spacers. The other possibility is if the owner did not properly torque the lugs.

Dat's old car was modified quite a bit. To come crashing down on it like Toyota's quality sucks or he put on inferior parts is plain stupid. Welcome to the world of driving a modified car. You need to suck it up and expect to be harder on parts now. Try not to trash years of his hard work because you don't check the oil.

Thus endith thy sermon.

Rotors rust guys if you live in any of the Snowbelt states. Even states with rain etc. You can get them plated and it will help on the appearance if you prefer.

It should not effect the integrity especially from a 99 and up car. I could maybe see it in 20 years of driving but even then i have changed rotors etc without a integrity problem.

[aleki2424]

yeah, rust is a great issue, and looks like i will very soon need them rotors changed. any progress on the replacement break lines netherland24?
