I agree this is just mesmerising!

Can somebody actually explain what is going here???? Surely the spanner is some sort of packer (although I just cannot see its purpose) as there is no way it is being used as a brake pad because it is resting on the dust sheild.

Might be because there is no rotor, and they needed something to pack the caliper so the pistons dont go out too far when the brake is applied.

I would like to know how the spraypainter finished the job - considering the amount of laughter he must have been providing..
.
He would have made some serious cash on that job...
(There is no way that someone that does that to a Mitsu380 knows what a spray job is worth!!!)

lets not say things we can't take back here...

it was the motivation of this thread in the beginning...

I think the 380 is a silver medal performance (i shouldn't use the word performance in the same sentance as that 380 - i know)..

But the HEKTIK Taurus has definately got the GOLD...

IIRC, the 380 out performed the BF XR6 when stock.

No rotor - adjustable wrench to stop pads and pistons falling out so you keep brake pressure....on the other three wheels.......
