fake disc brake

XMDrifter · #1 07-29-2007, 10:12 PM

i just got an idea to make a more real looking disc brake

take the upgrade kit packaging plastic and cut four circles. these will be the disc brakes. for calipers, cut out a caliper shape with a long stem coming out of the long side of the caliper.

i just fugured some of this out, so i'll give you an update when i've finished with my set.

i'll have pics in my update cuz now its a budding idea

Hold on, so will rotor actually spin while the caliper stays stationary, or is it just for looks?

wowo what red said seemed crazy awsome i might try and do that

Are you talking about something like this?

holy that looks sweet but it doesnt have a caliper...and the only reason i dint understand what he was talking about was because he never said he was going to paint it.

These are on my RS4 3 and they are clear wheels with the disc mounted behind the chrome piece. I will try to find a link to the website where they have these.
I understand that he is planning on using the ones that come with the upgrade kits to make his, I was just using mine for comparison

i think he plans on making them look like real discs by painting um or something...

BTW can you provide a link, because i have enough parts to build an RS4 but i dont really want too, maybe this would give me insentive LOL

XMDrifter · #11 07-30-2007, 04:43 PM

exactly like that
i still have to figure out how to make the stationary caliper though.
i did paint them

meme405 · #12 07-30-2007, 05:17 PM

make a tut and add pics...It would definetly be useful...ive been looking for a good one to use for a while...

garder121 · #13 07-30-2007, 05:32 PM

i still don't get this so it will stay on and still spin? how i need pics beacsue i'm a hard-headed dude.

XMDrifter · #14 08-01-2007, 10:21 AM

Here i got my first pics.
i managed to make a D hole ring to glue onto the disc and calipers too

Sorry that they aren't very clear but it works

firebird999 · #15 08-01-2007, 10:32 AM

garder121 · #16 08-01-2007, 12:03 PM

HMMM if you think that the pictures aren't fuzzy then you really need to go to the eye doctor. I can barely make out where he cut them at let alone where the pin is.

If you have it set your focus on Macro (the little flower symbol) and then you can get better closeup shots.

Just a helpful tip.
