well.

getting the rotors off is a bitch... after 70k miles, go figure..

all was pretty simple... impact screwdriver is a great 10 dollar investment... the mac tools one person bleeder tool, well doesnt. speed bleeders on the way..

anyway
project mu src pro rotors
axxis ceramic pads
corksport lines
polack graphic stickers
ate super blue.

nice job. i like the way black calipers look. it looks like that's the natural color of the caliper tho- ie u didn't have to paint it, right?

 

That looks pretty sweet.. I like the green on the rotors...

 

nope,

did paint it..... if you saw the photos of them before, well it is much better..

g2 caliper paint... i think i got 4 coats on before i walked away.... and still had 80 % of the can left..

30 bucks well spent..

beers

 

that i did not do.. it came that way. aluminium hats.

I do like black calipers. A nice understated finish unlike the fire engine red that is so popular these days.

 

good job

 

did you not see the orange / silver before??? bad cocktail choice...

beers

 

No I didn't see the orange before, and I'll pretend I never heard of it. I think Taka has the same rotors you do?

 

kinda of...

i pmed about it.. his are slotted.. he ?nd me about slotted and dimpled.. i learned a lot in that exchange..

the sad thing is i cant bed them in... it is killing me..



beers

 

Nice brake upgrade Swoope. I'm lovin' the Project Mu rotors. I want some ate fluid myself, but I dunno how long it would take to flush the DOT3 I have and put in 4.

Now you've got to update your signature.

 

speedbleeders. i hope are my friend.. i think u could do it with a liter, but why take the chance..

my sig is getting silly long.. i fight it.. i allows me to answer ?s about my mods, but really i have no ego about the mods.. just something that is a hobby...

the jury is out on that one..

beers

 

Those axxis pads bite! but you'll have brake dust everywhere. nice job with the car, man.

 

funny,

you got that where?????? a link would be nice! so far i have about 500 miles on them.. nothing compared to the stock pads.. yes the wheels are still clean.. yep. the photos were shot with 500 miles of brakes on the car.

just waiting to bed them in...


beers

 

DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids are compatible, no need to flush the 3 before putting the DOT4 in. The only difference is higher wet/dry boiling points in DOT 4.


Nice set up swoope. Basically all the stopping power (if any of OEM) of a BBK at half the cost huh

 

sorry, no link. i used to run axxis pads and after i bed them in, they'd dust a lot. i mean, it was worth it for the stopping power and feel. i switched to hawk hps, for less dust but am thinking about going back to axxis because the hps feel so numb. btw, it must be really humid in your area. i can tell by your x-drilled rotors. it took me about 3 months to get them that color. did you get them from rx7 store?

 

k,

read the thread.. or take the time to read what is on the car.. slotted and dimpled.. the make is also there..

can you find it on rx7 store?

vana, buy a vowel!!!!

beers

 

looks good swoope!!

 

Speedbleeders are your friend. Just changed to Racing Beat brake & clutch lines as well as Hawk HP+ and ATE Blue. Soooooo easy bleeding everything except that bitch-to-get-at of a clutch bleeder. The pads are amazing to say the least and we'll find out about fluid on Sun.

 

looking good swoope - but you better post a full profile in daylight pic!

 

You prolly know this but you won't be able to use that G2 again in the can. Buddy of mine and I used some a few weeks back and we went to open the can last week and the cap flew across the garage and the G2 was a solid piece of matter

looks good swoope, any chance you have the weight of the Mu rotors?

 

with my trusty br scale. 15lbs ft 13 rear. about 2 lbs lighter than what came off.. per rotor.

beers

 

lookin good swoopy

 

Ahhh very nice Swoope!

In the next couple of weeks I will be painting with G2 or similar epoxy caliper paint.

I have an extra set of stock rotors, will paint the hubs black and calipers are going to blue. (previously had done a high temp (temporary) black paint on the rear calipers). It looked decent but the paint didn't hold up well on the rotor hubs. Going to try another solution for that.

I helped ChrisRX8PR with his caliper painting a couple of weeks ago. He did Mazda on the front caliper and the Mazda symbol on the rear calipers, I didn't have my camera but will take pictures of mine after they are completed.


Speedbleeders make brake work so easy.

ATE Super Blue whoo hoo.

SS lines will be going on once a set falls in my lap.

Again nice job Swoope.
