rust

Welcome to my 2005 Black Gold 182 track car I've owned since mid 2021. Some people see these cars as cheap disposable track toys, but I haven't been able to own/run a fun car before, so this little 182 has become my pride and joy. And then I found the rust... :oops: This winter I've replaced...

Hi all, First post so go easy!! Wishing to get into DIY, I replaced my pads and discs just under a month ago. The pedal feels fine and the brakes stop the car quickly enough, however there is a ring of corrosion on the inside edge of the disc (near the hub), which is where the pads aren't...
