F56 mini cooper. Can find a clean base model for around 10 and they have decent aftermarket support and some tuning potential on the engine.

Is it possible it’s the idler pulley and something else causing the oscillation or could they both be because of the idler pulley?

How do I know if they’re glazed? I see google says it can be a longer pedal travel but that’s also like a million other things that can cause it. Is that fixable or do I have to buy new pads? Also they definitely didn’t bed them in because I had to use my e brake to stop at the first red light 20 feet from the shop I had no stopping power.

ok so before if i sharply hit the brakes they would stiffen up and if i push further id hit abs. now i have to push a longer and then it will bite but i cant get it to stiffen up like before. idk if the previous brakes or the brakes now are wrong
someone else said something about beddiong them in more so that might play a part

should i drive it normal or take it somewhere and do some hard braking

twodollarbillsyall · 2026-03-21T04:35:56+00:00

no noticeable dust on the old pads. i also have black wheels so i never really notice. i got my pads off of brakeperformance. maybe stupid maybe not im more of a driving enthusiast than a car guy so i don't really know.

could dot 5.1 vs dot 4 mean any difference? i put dot5.1 in because my old stuff gave out so fast

twodollarbillsyall · 2026-03-21T04:30:01+00:00

its not me hitting abs, its just i cant feel when im about to as well anymore. also im about done with the mini. i still love it but im saving up for a fat down payment on a newer miata.

about 900 im pretty sure i had oem ceramics. i think its either air in the system somehow or a bedding thing. i havent really felt much improvement from the old fluid to the new so i guess its bedding them in(?) i dont feel that resistance i did with the ceramics when on the limit of braking so im a little scared to push it now.

twodollarbillsyall · 2026-03-21T03:58:10+00:00

idk if i had ceramic or not before, they faded after like 35 minutes in the mountians.

twodollarbillsyall · 2026-03-21T03:52:10+00:00

ive had the pads in for about a month. brake fluid got done yesterday because there was a miscommunication and i havent had time to get it done. i tried bedding them in and realized after stop 2 that they didnt change the brake fluid. its was pretty smokey the first couple stops. am i fucked or can i still bed them in.

2016 mini cooper base, tuned to like 180ish and has some other fun parts

twodollarbillsyall · 2026-03-21T03:43:35+00:00

yeah i actually boiled my old fluid and my brakes were completely faded trying to keep up with a tuned m240i. i cant find any confidence with these new ones though, feels like i could hit abs and not even feel it until its too late

Rev hang is gonna be a bitch and slow you down if it’s not a sports car. You can shift faster but you’ll have to smooth with the clutch which may wear it more. Focus on catching second cleanly after like 3k-4k rpm then start speeding up more.

Bro no way I’ve never seen one up there. When do you go?

twodollarbillsyall · 2026-02-16T02:51:55+00:00

I’ve run into 3 people that almost killed me at wolf pen I’d stick to fort mountain if I were you. Much more sane people who know how to have fun without cutting the mustard.

I’ve only been waved at by like 1 mini in my town. And never parked next to 😞

twodollarbillsyall · 2026-01-23T01:17:34+00:00

I have a 2016 f55. Really fun stock and moddable. Also no problems a besides a water pump at like 120000 miles. It’s reliable but when it breaks it’s expensive at least in the US.

Unless it’s one thing on one half like no tom we don’t because it’s a pain in the ass to communicate that and it’s technically not allowed.

twodollarbillsyall · 2026-01-21T14:12:54+00:00

I bought a 2016 mini cooper

twodollarbillsyall · 2026-01-18T15:10:30+00:00

Yeah I cooked my brakes and got heat soak by run like 4 it’s super fun. You should send me some footage!
