brembo brakes

All variants of the Perodua Myvi have rear drum brakes. The same goes for the current line-up of the Honda City. The Toyota Vios, on the other hand, has rear solid disc brakes for the “G” variant, but the remaining “E” and “J” variant come with rear drum brakes. Often seen as a “poverty spec” feature, drum brakes are still prevalent in modern cars of today. Before we start calling drum brakes ancient, it is important to note that ideas for both drum and disc brake types were conceived in the ear

When it comes to car maintenance, we often give more emphasis on the car’s engine and transmission. After all, most of our visits to the local service centre are either to change the engine oil or the transmission fluid. While the engine and transmission are important to move the car, brakes are equally important to stop the car. So how do we take care of them? Sometimes you may hear funny noises coming from your brakes, but don’t really know what they mean. Should you get your brake pads replac

It is not all about interesting concept cars and fresh Chinese models that take the stage at this year’s Auto Shanghai but also, surprisingly a public protest against Tesla. Tesla isn’t planning on launching any new models at the motor show but that didn’t stop a few disgruntled customers to voice out their displeasure at Elon Musk’s golden goose EV start-up over some of its model’s brake failure. Just a few days before Auto Shanghai was due to open, Chinese media reported a brake failure incide

Although ABS has been around for years, many still do not understand how ABS actually works. It is generally known that ABS has something to do with the car brakes during heavy braking, but the common misconception is that it helps you brake better. It doesn’t, let us explain. ABS stands for Antilock Braking System. Yes, it has something to do with car brakes, but it doesn’t help the car stop faster. Instead, it works to keep the driver in control when under heavy braking. Contrary to popular be

If the Perodua Myvi GT that was showcased at the 2018 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show isn’t sporty enough for you, perhaps this GR Myvi would suffice? This particular GR Myvi is the creation of The Ajerul, who has rendered a fair number of aggressive-looking Protons and Peroduas in the past. To be clear, this is just an artist's imagination. Perodua has nothing to do with Toyota's GR Sport range, at least not in Malaysia. Unlike the Myvi GT and its large front air intakes, the GR Myvi gets

Joao Dias, the Principal Exterior Designer at McLaren since 2016, released a design sketch of a sexy-looking red machine on his Instagram with the caption “The world needs more red Mazdas.” The sketch does draw similarities with the RX-Vision concept car, which was previewed 5 years ago. Long bonnet, front-engine sports car with presumably a rotary engine. Typical of design concepts, the wheels are absurdly large and within them are equally massive Brembo brakes.

Called the Myvi S-Edition, it is heavily inspired by the Myvi GT that was shown at the 2018 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (2018 KLIMS).

A video of Bomba putting out fire on a badly burning car caught our attention recently, but it was not because there is a car on fire, instead it was what happened after that. A Perodua Myvi caused another accident on the highway as he slowed down to watch the Bomba put out the fire of the burning car. In the video, the person holding the camera was focussed on the burning car that the fire brigade was already working put out. But “auntie” unwittingly caught the accident between 2 Perodua Myvis

Following their debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January this year, famed Toyota tuner Tom’s will open orders for their tuned 2020 Toyota GR Supra and 2020 Toyota Century this weekend. The Supra gets a new turbo, intercooler and an ECU tweak among other mods to bump the power up from 335 PS to 460 PS. Meanwhile, stiffened chassis and new Brembo six-piston brake calipers mated to 380mm discs means the newfound power stays in check. Unlike us (hopefully), when cars go on a diet they become wider.

You're driving in traffic, minding your own business when suddenly a box falls out of the lorry in front of you. Reflexes take over, you brake hard, but realise you can't stop in time. You then swerve to avoid the rogue box. That evasive action wouldn't have been possible if your car wasn't equipped with Anti-lock Braking System, (ABS). Even though many, if not most new cars are now equipped with ABS, most car owners don't know how it works or how it benefits them. I've had friends come to me an

If you have a car that’s been parked for a little bit too long, you will start to notice rust forming on the brake discs/rotors. Some of us are able to look past this, while some of us can’t stand the sight of it. Is rust on the brake discs harmful? Brake discs wear out over time either by thinning, warping, or rusting. So, if you’re wondering whether rust on the brake disc is harmful or not, the answer is yes, but only if left unattended for way too long. Rust can corrode the discs and damage t
