Over Rev

[GoofyCamry]

Hey there everyone. I have 2 questions, my stupid ass f*cking friend reved my car to what looked like 7krpm for a breif second. Should i be worried of anything? Also how much longer do brakes last after they begin to start squeaking? Thnx for any replies and merry christmas all.

i wouldn`t worry about the engine, i remember someone was trying to kill an engine and it took him a few outings to kill it

as for the breaks, well you should change the pads, or else you`ll start damaging the rotors, and rotors cost big bucks (as my father recently learned)

check the pads first though, if they have less then 1/8th of an inch of brake pad stuff, replace them, sometimes brakes just squeak

One time that I was driving my car hard.. I over revved my engine about 100 rpm on the gauge.. and I was like.. :o nothing happened though and the car is still good! another thing too, my 86 civic has no RPM gauge.. and I used to drive it hard without knowing if I over revved or not.. 350,000km baby!! and counting!
you should be ok.. just don't do it too often.

Hmm... thnx for the replies, you guys put me at ease again. One last question, how much does it cost to get your brakes pads changed?merry christmas

depends where you live i guess.. some places in my area do it for about $90CDN for front OR back that's them putting parts and labor though.. if you bring your own pads, usually about $50CDN(or less if you got a hook-up ). dunno how they do it in your area.
