Laugh it up... next time we're at the track I'm gonna brake-check you just show you how good those StopTechs work. And I'm pretty sure a new rear bumper on my car is cheaper than a new Perrin FMIC.

Wait where's your car?

Especially since I've already got a PVC elbow that dumps air directly into the vents of the rotor, just w/o a backing plate, that works very well. Remember I used my brakes with their existing ducts at T-Hill, RFR and Club Trials w/o a bit of fading, but when I drove Dean's car at RFR w/ the same pads and no ducts, I baked the pads and scored the rotors when the pad thickness wore down past half-way. So it sounds like I'm doing something right... even w/o a backing plate, I'm getting a lot more cool air to the center of the rotor than I would be getting otherwise.

Or red really is faster than blue and you had more speed to turn into heat when you were in Dean's car.

Pssshhhht... my blue car is so fast that it looks red due to red-shift.

That was Potatowned! Just giving you some grief.

I used to have stoptechs on my old wrx (granted the 328's) I loved them and yes even those felt better than the brembos.

I wasn't bothered by your comments... just the people that decided I got owned by 'em so badly they needed to comment on it.

I really should just clean out all that off topic crap, since this is the tech forum, but I don't want it to look like I'm deleting posts because I'm pissed or something, since I'm not.

Your blue car is so fast, it looks parked!

Okay, I will.

Hey, this is it's own thread!? Look, our moderators at work!

We have moderators here?

/now that its in OT, I hold no reservations about OT comments

Nick Koan · 2005-10-03, 04:15 PM

btw, we need to start using the red-shift jokes more often.

My blue SVX is so fast it shifts to red just sitting still!

My red car is so fast, it red shifts into the infrared...

That's hot!

tysonK · 2005-10-03, 07:45 PM

My car is so fast only the blue flakes in it red-shift the black is already crazy fast.

MattR · 2005-10-03, 07:56 PM

What the fuck is red-shift? I have no color in my life (2 silver cars

)so you have to explain these things to me.

Red-shift is this physics thing. When something is moving really fast away from you it appears to turn more red (or closer to red, down the color spectrum).

This is really only observable on the cosmic scale.

QED, that is why SRT-4's always look red.

Nick Koan · 2005-10-03, 08:33 PM

Also, if something is coming straight at you at incredible speeds, it starts to turn blue, and is known as blue shift.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2005-10-04, 07:57 AM

Okay I finally got all the OT posts moved over from the brake duct thread. My mod skillz have teh sux0rs...

So it would work in revers also. Something moving away from you really slow turns blue? That would be bad.

sperry · 2005-10-04, 09:24 AM

Matt, another way to think of red-shift:

You know the doppler effect on sound right? Higher pitch as something approaches then lower pitch as it goes away. Well, light does the same thing at extremely high speeds, the wavelength of the light coming off an object is "higher pitch" (bluer) as it approaches, and "lower pitch" (redder) as it departs.

Like Nick said, red-shift is only observeable on a cosmic scale. Scientists can point telescopes at distant stars and determin how fast they're moving away from us by measuring the red-shift of the known color of burning hydrogen. The fact that everything is moving away from everything else is one of the things that points towards evidence of a big bang.

Nope, if anything's moving "really slow", it won't shift noticeably.

No, actually it would just stay its own color.
