The ETA's that I was given are simply ETA's...I know GiroDisc are doing their best but yeah the ETA's I admit are not the best. Definitely taking longer than otherwise stated.

I misunderstood what they meant by cutting. Those were the models. Testers. They tested for clearances with plastic cut models.

Also they are perfectionists there...and this is why its taking longer. This is indeed good and bad...



Support and replacement parts will be available when needed without issues. Pretty much all the applications that already exists have the replacement parts ready to go. Its just the applications that are not yet ready like this that take some time unfortunately.

I know everyone is waiting and its tough...I will be asking to see if they can do anything for us to speed things up.

 

Mars is comming up soon and I need to start working on my car soon.

Any real ETA?

 

I just emailed martin to see if we got any further updates.

(11:21:47 AM) girodisc martin: this is showing us inspect the hat for runout
(11:21:49 AM) Adam K: that is awesome
(11:22:09 AM) girodisc martin: the needle is measuring tenths as in .0001"
(11:22:33 AM) girodisc martin: it measures about .00015" runout
(11:22:37 AM) girodisc martin: that's f'ing flat
(11:22:49 AM) Adam K: that is precision
(11:23:22 AM) girodisc martin: it's amazing, we used to actually grind the front hats on the evo x because the machine shop we used just couldn't get them flat
(11:23:54 AM) girodisc martin: now, because we actually took the time to figure out how to do it right, they are all this flat
(11:24:14 AM) girodisc martin: bringing the equipment in house was the best thing we ever did
(11:25:20 AM) girodisc martin: for ref
(11:25:31 AM) girodisc martin: .002" is max allowable runout of a rotor
(11:26:03 AM) Adam K: I like it a lot
(11:26:20 AM) girodisc martin: we'll have the front proto a little later in the day
(11:26:34 AM) girodisc martin: rotor rings arrived yesterday so we can cut them in the coming days
(11:27:35 AM) Adam K: yesss!!!
(11:27:43 AM) Adam K: as soon as humanly possible
(11:28:10 AM) Adam K: so are these the most perfect hats you ever made?
(11:28:35 AM) girodisc martin: well
(11:28:55 AM) girodisc martin: we had one hat that the needle didn't move :-)
(11:29:04 AM) girodisc martin: but these are damn good
(11:29:22 AM) girodisc martin: they are small in diameter, and have some section to them, so that helps
(11:30:13 AM) girodisc martin: the big hats for 15 and 16" rotors are harder for sure
(11:30:25 AM) girodisc martin: we are happy to see .0005-.0007" with those
(11:33:13 AM) Adam K: I love the precision and craftsmanship sir!
(11:33:17 AM) Adam K: keep up the good work!
(11:33:33 AM) girodisc martin: we try :-D

 

Awesome!

 

Hi Adam, if you can pass this post along to Girodisc to make sure that they don't make the same mistake, it would be great. https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...8&postcount=80 Thanks.

 

Indeed...I will pass this along just as a precaution. However this is why girodisc is testing and made mock models based on the actual Front and Rear RX8 brake assembly. We are talking about the entire spindle, hub, caliper, caliper cage, etc...

but I will pass it along.

Straight from Girodisc:

 

They even know where the competitors manufacture their products...
The wait is suddenly waaay less annoying!

 

LOL...they know their industry very well...its pretty crazy

 

OMG UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(12:36:02 PM) girodisc martin: rotor hats will prolly go on the mill later in the day and we'll have protos to fit. Then, full production should only take a few more days.

 

Bumpity bump, news?
You also have a pm!

 

I will ask for more updates.

 

Its official!!!

http://www.girodisc.com/Rotors_c_959.html

Thank you Adam!

 

So when are we getting ours?

 

More updates!!!

+1

its time to give us an date, please.

 

It's no longer freezing there?

 

nope, +6C and all the snow is gone since 1,5 week. spring is comming up! =)

and my rex needs new brake disc's, my stock disc's is totally worn out and even have some small cracks... they have lived since 2004 and 3 seasons with track duty.

I give the stock brakes A+ on the RX-8.

But these girodisc looks soo nice and light weight!

 

Adam returns from Vaca tomm, and he will be more than happy to update you guys

-Nick

 

Looking forward! =)

And a reminder, dont forget to send my Hawk DTC60 pads together with my girodisc. (I never got an updated invoice showing my prepaid pads)

 

Email me and I will double check. adamk@thmotorsports.com

Your pads are already at GiroDisc waiting the completion so they can be put in the box with the rotors once shipped.



Hey guys I am back. I will shoot over an inquery to see if we can get a possible ship date.

 

Sweet!
