Just to be clear, "wet boiling point" refers to the lower boiling point you get when the fluid has absorbed water from the environment over time . " Dry" boiling point is the boilnig point of the fluid when it is new and has not absorbed any water - brake fluid absorbs water easily and that's why it's important to change brake fluid regularly .

It’s supposed to be done on every car every 2 years, it’s also good to avoid opening the brake fluid tank, it’s not just that it absorbs water easily it’s that it will remove water from the air by absorbing it.

Misha had been to dominican republic this winter so yes he was in the sun somehow ;-)

Precision about the ABS, what it does is release the brake on the wheel that was locked and reapply the brake until it locks again (depending on the grip, related to the pressure of the brake pedal) if you’re still over the limit it will « vibrate » the pads by locking unlocking the wheel at quite high frequency, but if the reason why it locked was a temporary loss of grip like a wet patch or a small ice patch it won’t vibrate at all ; it will release and if the grip is sufficient it will keep braking without locking again.

Superb , love these technical video's, many thanks to both of you.

Wow i learned alot. Thanks guys.

Great video, learned a lot in between waiting for my classes lol

... this was a fantastic video for the average person, to learn a great deal about what makes braking and it's modifications important. and a nice quick review for a trained person.

This video is extremely useful. Thanks ! I have an issue with my FWD car, on the ring the ECS/ESP is always pinching the rear rotors in corners, like to help stability. But it is doing this all the time above 110kmh, with my barely loading up the tyres, which is a big problem, I'm afraid of the generated heat with a lap around the track.

Loving these types of videos.. helps us newbs enjoy track days so much more with less mechanical drama. For example a simple thing like Dodson thermostats which Oleg recommended in a much older video that you did helped me so much with reducing cooling temps on the track. One question... can you tell me the model number for the Endless pads please? Thanks.. keep these types of videos coming 👍

I know all this information already, but as a petrol head everyday is a learning day and good to hear it all again sometimes. Also videos like this can stop someone taking their car on track with stock fluid or pads and going into the back of me 😆

Cool video 👍🏻

Love these videos. Very surprised to hear you use drill rotors! Do you think the heat built up is fairly low since the car is typically used for 8 minutes of track time instead of 20-25 minutes?

Thanks Misha and George, love these tech vids. Please do an update at Philip

Good one buddy

Good video

I’ve experienced this vibration you guys mention while on track after my brakes have warmed up. While driving on the road I don’t feel this vibration, but I am obviously not braking as hard. Is there any way to get rid of the pad deposits or do you need to replace disks?

More like this!!

you could also cover ways of improving the heat management in the brakes and air cooling ducts

Would love to hear more about your thoughts about cars as system.

Excessively large disks are just as bad as undersized disks. Large rotation mass can be a detrimental effect. In situations when more power cannot be found to overcome it. And exceed the limits of available traction. "As large as needed without being too much is a good recipe for many things." Probably

@Misha, I would have a question to you. Thinking of changing brake pads on my '14 B7 passat 4motion that I use in town, highway and country roads (also in winter Austria Alps for skiing) for having more friction, stopping power and less fade than OEM. I thought of Endless and EBC Blue / Yellowstuff. Although, I do not have endless distributor in Hungary, but only in Germany, so my question would be: which do you suggest (Endless / EBC) and where do you get endless from in Germany? Thank you very much! :)

good video from knowledgable people. Could you explain what a floating calliper is?

the F80 front calipers yeah... BMW really got their shit together, especially after the E46 M3 CSL that had single piston floating front calipers, which is almost unbelievable. I have the front brakes from a M135i Competition, those are pretty robust as well, but they have only one downside: you can't pull pads out of the backside, you need to unmount the whole caliper for a pad change.

If you're an excellent driver, you'll stop faster without ABS. If you're an average driver, and most of us are, you'll stop faster with ABS. I remember the obligatory session I had at a skid pan while training to get my driver's licence. And the difference between ABS and no ABS was mindblowing.

@MrTchou

It’s not really about being an excellent driver or not, ABS can regulate all wheels at the same time, you’d need 4 brake pedals and feet to be able to do the same. It doesn’t makes you stop faster but it will keep the directional control of the car (up to physics limits of course). It has been shown multiple times that ABS can significantly extend stopping distance on snow and ice for example,

@hadtopicausername

I beg to differ. I've had the pleasure of driving on a skid pan before getting my licence, and experiencing the difference between ABS and no ABS (the instructor could turn the ABS in his car on and off at the flick of a switch). For someone average like me, who didn't have that excellent feel for when the wheels were about to lock up, ABS was a huge life saver and game changer. In practical, real life ABS is the best thing that happened to the average driver since four wheel brakes were introduced. A truly skilled driver will still be able to outperform the ABS system, but such drivers are few and far between.

@@hadtopicausername no driver can outbrake a properly working abs system. On a track you only use it in predictable ways (no obstacles; braking zones; you know the road surface etc). On the street you might take a turn on a winter day and have sunny/shady spots (sunlight between the trees). If you need to brake hard, the abs system will allow each individual tire to maximize the available grip while still letting you take the turn as much as possible. There is no way anyone could do this in a non-abs car. I drive a car with no abs too but i like to think i am aware of it's limits. If it is not completely dry outside i am a lot more cautious because of potentially hazardous situations (animals, idiots etc)

I've seen tests where non ABS outbraked ABS, but it's only under very specific conditions. Most of the time, ABS wins hands down. Having driven an old swing axle Beetle a lot, I generally consider braking while in a corner to be a big no-no. I still carry that habit with me - slow down before the corner, not in it. I'll only brake mid corner if absolutely forced to.

@@MrTchou brakes are a rabbit hole, so it's not easy to just simply correct what they said because even the explanations and validation are off. You are essentially asking for 30 minute discussion on brake lines by themselves to be condensed into 3 minute read. To be quick and reducing wasting my time further. Factory lines don't bulge until they get old. Only on a test bench are braided lines stiffer. Braided lines need to be replaced every 2 years because they don't pass any requirements for a road going car and their coating fails and let's dirt into the braiding. The rubber coating is superior because it's more resilient on corrosive environments. This is why braided lines have a silicon covering over the braiding to stop dirt getting in and putting holes in the Teflon. In a lot cases, OEM rubber lines are more expensive to produce than braided lines by companies that self certify. Unless it's an actual racecar, not a streetcar or track car, it's better to replace rubber lines on the 5 year schedule which is when they might start to deteriorate from high track temps. All this information is backed by companies like StopTech and OEMs in public marketing or direct conversations with brake engineers. I'm a brake nutcase, and it needs to be called out that what is shown in this video should not be taken as fact. Further research is needed before "upgrading" the car. Brake lines are 100% controversy topic, but it's only because of misinformation like in this video keeps getting repeated.

Nope, on snow for example you stop faster by locking the wheels, it will aggregate snow just before the tyre, and this little bump that was built up acts as a stopping device on the wheel, ABS won’t allow for this to happen. ABS role isn’t to stop faster anyway, it’s to keep directional control of the car, allowing you to avoid something instead of sliding into it.
