Ahh, neither of my lights blink. I think my Tire Pressure warning has been broke since I got it (thank god) and I always turn my ASC off unless it's raining.

Back to the braking. Because I heel/toe every single slow turn, traffic light, or stop, I get the same effect. Interestingly, 45,000 miles of driving and autocrossing since new never yielded a brake pad change on my Miata.

The nice thing about the MINI's is that they can so easily be put into first gear. In hard/fast driving, I'm heel/toeing the Cooper S into 1st gear at about 35mph. My Miata had to be doing about 10mph for it to easily go into 1st.

Another way to "eliminate" the brake dust is to run a wheel with less surface area for the dust to land on...
