Engine noise

Hi all,

I have been hearing a noise from the engine of my 2004 rx8 GT lately. It is like a whining sound comes and goes usually in 1st or 2nd gear and only in the mid to upper rpm range. Like something spinning. It's pretty noticeable.. any idea as to what this could be?

As well I have ordered cryo rotors with Hawk pads for all four corners. Can these be change over in the rear without having to adjust the handbrake? If not, how do you adjust the handbrake? Can I use a simple C-clamp to push the piston back?

Thanks.

There is a DIY
no problem with E brake
Need a needle nose pliers to turn the rear caliper in

Open the MC so you can push it in
