That is a fine sight, even the colour range is stunning. I guess this reminds us why we love them so much! Hot hatches for sure :rock:

Have they actually warped if so can you get them sorted or do you have to buy new disk's (ouch)

I have Black Diamond Combi
Discs. Drilled and Grooved.
They are meant to be tough stuff and hard to warp
Ridiculously expensive too.

I will remember to stay away... is there a warranty?

Ordered braided rubber vac line for my turbo actuator. Noticed one side of the coloured silicon hose looked worn on one side when I was last mooching under the car. Hopefully it was the line collapsing that's causing my current (although less often) overboost issue. At the very least I know it's something ruled out and only cost £4.
I think that's done the trick (fingers crossed) only triggered limp mode once after replacing the line on the first run to work.

No warranty, not now.

In fairness to the Black Diamond discs.
It was more than 60 miles into a track day when they started to warp.
The track is very fast and you can hit 100 plus (when you get it right) in 5 different places. So you’re really hard on the brakes.
A kilometre strait sees me at 128-130 mph and you brake hard to hit a chicane at 80.
It was my 4th visit to the track on same discs.
In addition they’ve done Snetterton 300 and Abingdon
Along with about 5000 road miles so all in all can’t fault them.
I’ve never experienced squeaking and squealing and no noise from the drilled holes or grooves. I thought a top disc. Just going to go for something different so I can start to compare.
I may well go back to them if I don’t upgrade the whole set up further.

I don’t seem to have a lip from wear.
Will need to find out min thickness requirements etc and see if some engineering mob can skim them flat again.
For the money they cost if I could have them as back up and get another couple of track days out of them, I’d be a happy boy.
