Just go for the good stuff and work down the chain to suit

your needs.. :D

I can confirm what Silver said about the Racebrake pads.

Harsh on the rotors, but when you want them to stop they

sure do.. Especially coming up to turn 2 at E.C. :eek1:

Mine squeak when i lightly apply the brakes.

Ah thanks.

Btw, anyone considering getting slotted or drilled rotors might want to consider these instead: http://www.dba.com.au/kanga_paw_design.asp

Should cool better than slotted but without the associated extra pad wear. Of course if you get the slotted kangaroo paw rotors it'd be better still. When I get replacements I'm going to get the unslotted ones to extend my pad life.

Hi There,

I now have a quick question on brake pad wear.

As I'm sure you will know the EBC brake pads have a small gap in the middle of the pad (dead centre).

The gap does not go right the way through the pad..

Only reason why I'm asking is because I checked my pads this morning and it is basically one big pad with no gap in the middle.

Does this mean they are due to be changed (as ther eis still heaps on pad left...)?

Thanks for your help.

Rob

Have run bendix ultimates on my GTR around the track on DBA slotteds and they are abysmal.

If ya don't fade em after two laps of wanneroo then your not really trying.

Ran Targa in 2000 with pagid blues in the car and worked well , even when I pulled em out after the 2nd day and they were all black and crumbly. Damn pricey tho.

Tried pagid blacks, too long to come on for a street car and absolutely killed the discs.

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
