Default RE: No breaks!?

My cars the same iv got an Inferno GT.

CRAP is too good a word to describe the stock brakes. They got some nerve selling the car like that.

Anyway with my car its 2 things, the first is that the servo is too weak, and the second, bigger reason is the poor brake pads. Iv taken off whatever was on them (some rubbery feeling sh*t) and taken them back to the steel. The brake disc is also steel. Steel on steel dosnt work, so iv been meaning to make a fibreglass disc for it, still havnt gotten around to it though. The cars been off the road for about 3 weeks.

The fibre glass guy I spoke to at the factory said it wont work because when it gets hot it will explode, but maybe with the right design the heat will disipate enough to keep it cool. Iv got all the stuff I need but I havnt done it yet, havnt even made the mold yet. Have a look and if this is the problem then ill let you know how I went as soon as iv done it.
