Bru51n report on how you go - interested to see how much better than previous the ferodos are on your car...haven't had a chance to track my car since I had the ferodos on the front, but will soon have some slotted rotors/ferodo ds2500s on the back to go with the front set so should be interesting how well the car pulls up when I go back, but won't be for a while!
Wayne, you are obviously NOT a mechanical engineer. Although your reasoning runs true in the sense of a RACE car, a ROAD car tyre NEVER is subject to the elevated temperatures (or variation) that a RACE car tyre is.Quote:

Nitrogen use in motorsport is also debatable.
Do you know what Formula 1 use....?
Argon.
So you're saying I'm right about why nitrogen is used (less moisture) but that it's effect on expansion in road cars is minimal, so they use the 'erosion' excuse to trick you into paying for it. So what part of that proves I'm not a mechanical engineer? To me it just proves you're gullible.
And what has F1 got to do with it? Not sure about you but I don't drive an F1 car.
BTW, did you notice the title of this thread?
No, it was just incorrect. Refering to a gas as inert is pretty nerdy, but nitrogen is not an inert gas. If it was it wouldn't combine with Oxygen and make that gas that makes us laugh in more ways than one.Quote:

well dun mean to prove u wrong but i didnt think my chemistry was that bad...Quote:

Nitrogen is a constituent element of all living tissues and amino acids. Many industrially important compounds, such as ammonia, nitric acid, and cyanides, contain nitrogen.
just google Nitrogen..
i thought this forum was made to try and help other ppl and learn from eachother.. no need for such attitude dude.. its not a spellin B or science quiz..

I use atomic gas, refined from dilithium crystals off the 7th vulcan moon, works best with mugen valve caps.
Yes, Nitrogen is very inert, even at between 20 and 40 pounds per square inch pressure.
N2 won't combine with O2 to produce N2O. To make N2O, you decompose ammonium nitrate NH4 NO3 at high temperature to make N2O. Don't confuse atoms with molecules.Quote:
