WTF? I'll email him to see how he sent them out. Maybe he used seperate boxes for everything due to weight.

Any one else get their brake kit parts?

Nice! Did you just get the calipers?

So we have one rotor and two calipers between two people, AWESOME! One more person and we will have a full kit :P

Brake lines?! WTF. I told him we didn't need brake lines because we got the Hel ones.

EDIT: Just found two postage pick up slips in the mail box! So maybe my brakes arrived today aswell. I wonder what parts I got lol.

Hahaha ok.

Was hoping you got more today.

Actually the more I think about it, perhaps mine isn't the Wilwood brakes but the V Spec II pedals because it doesn't make sense that I would get mine at the same time as you guys when yours got sent prior to my kit even being ready (remember one kit was on back order)....

Hmmm the plot thickens...

Ohk so apparently I did receive mine today but the old girl forgot to bring them home from work so I'll let you's know tomorrow which parts I received :)

Well it wasn't the pedals like I thought (honestly was hoping it was them just to have that nightmare over) but it was the Wilwoods. Not sure what the go was there considering my kit was ment to be on back order yet I got it at the same time as you guys?

Now it wasn't the whole kit however I think they are sending them in seperate packages like this for two reasons, due to the weight of the kits and also to seperate the order due to customs. I thought they would just dodgy up the invoices a lot more but instead this is probably the better way for every one.

One box contained just the brake rotor and the hat. The hat is extremely light, lighter than I actually thought it would be. I will weigh all the components of the Wilwood kit and factory setup to compare weights when I go to install them. The rotor itself is very chunky!

Next box was the two calipers, brake pads, lines and bolts. No idea why they sent the lines, most likely a mistake.

The calipers are very light and look gorgeous. I also test fitted the Hel lines into them and they fit! Brake pads are huge, a lot thicker than the EBC Red Stuff pads I have on the factory calipers at the moment.

So there you go :)

Hopefully the other rotor and caliper adaptors arrive soon.

Let me know when you guys get your other parts.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
