Stupid caliper

[Dwend]

So I finished my Si to Vtec conversion. I am using Brembo Sport pads on the Brembo Blanks. The calipers I picked up were from a salvage yard. They both looked good with minimal rust on the piston, bad choice. The left one locked up on me as I was doing the Brake-in test, slow stops from 20mph or so. I did about 10 stops and then go to check if I had any problem, I step out of the car and I smell burnt brakes. I said "OHHH Sh!t F^cker!!" I then proceaded to check if the brake was hot. My stupid self goes in and touches the rotor. It was HOT.:biggrin:.
The car is now at home in the grarge. The rotor is turning purple on the inside , but it didn't seem that it was damaged. Hopefully the pads aren't glazed over. I can't get the caliper off because 1) Its HOT 2) its stuck.
So the lesson is BUY NEW/remanufactured CALIPERS!!!!

You might wanna get that rotor checked out could have hot spots in it now. Might cause a vibration later on.

I might take it to school and have them put it on the brake leahe again.
Got the pads off with the persuasion of a hammer and they are fine.
