Tuna Canyon - Stock Scion xA + Deer
Loading...
Uploaded by katzedrache on Jan 13, 2007
Tuna Canyon run in a stock 2006 Scion xA. We had a deer pace us for a bit. The camera work sucks, because the dash was used as a steadying device. Not wise on this road.
NOTE: Run time was 6 min 6 seconds including a 20 second bit at the end. Video was altered to match the length of the song.
NOTE #2: My brakes failed immediately after the deer. They were superheated from braking on the suicide straight, and I had expected to engine brake for a bit. The deer changed that, and the brakes failed. The rest of the run was done via engine braking. The brakes started holding again near the end of the run.

Nice cyn drive man. yeah i feel ya on the brakes fading. in fact, in my car my front rotors actually warped from constant canyon driving, with 3 other guys in the car lol. not good for a 93 lexus es300

Actually, that's an incorrect assumption. If the brakes overheated, the removing material from the brake disc (drilling and/or slotting) will result in less material to soak up and dissipate the heat created from the brakes, causing higher likelihood of overheating without a substantial upgrade in brake size.
From the sounds of it, you just need DOT4 or DOT5 brake fluid and maybe some nicer pads to get rid of fade issues. Drilled/slotted rotors are a horrible idea.

I can't believe your brakes held up till then, my Evo's brakes barely lasted the whole run. Then again evos have kinda shitty rotors...
Bravo for making a video that accurately represents what its like to drive here, not one of those super smooth ones.

Stick shift, I typically downshift and let the engine slow me so as not to heat the brakes all to hell. The deer sorta screwed that up for me on that run :)
I felt bad for the guy holding the camera. He'd never been down before.
