Definitely interested in FC brake upgrade, I joined the forum for it!
Jake, I'm in central FL too if you need a guinea pig. Keep me posted, thanks! |
Guys i think someone type wrong information earlier.
As far as I know the sport package(what I have) has the same size brakes at the all other NB's. It was the LS package with the 16" wheels that had the larger rotor. Correct me if I am wrong. |
The 01+ "big" brakes are often referred to as sport brakes
|
omg i want.
|
I wish I could use these 12.3" TT rotors I have. :(

Did you get the rears too? how much and from where?
I haven't put any heat in these yet to know how it works considering I'm still on the stock 1.6. |
^ interesting set-up you have.Let us know how well it works once you get a good track day out of them.
I myself am trying to find the 01+ sport brake rears. |

^ If I cannot find the rear sport brakes,my last option will be to order the Goodwin racing billet caliper brackets.

Jake,
Any rough estimate on when the brackets will be done? |
Any news?
|
news news news!
|
Nothing fun :(
Using a CMM on the hub and then hammering out the final dimensions. Day-jobs getting in the way. |
if you guys want a big brake kit for your miatas, my family makes them, go to www.hyedracyl.com and check it out, not sure off the top of my head how much they are, im running the kit (uses stock calipers and i think 12.5" rotors) and OMG is there alot of stopping power!!! its so much cheaper then buying the willwood kit!!!

damnit! he took it off, check on monday, they will be up!
|
Thanks for the update Jake, can't wait till these are done.
|
sorry about that guys, i talked to my uncle(he runs the site and the business) and it seems that we made my kit special, to do this brake upgrade utilizing the stock calipers it requires casting, not just a bolt on extension as some kits take.. im sorry about the false alarm on that one guys!

News? I'm also interested in a set of brackets.
Here's two pics I found on the pointy board of the bracket size differences: Attachment 214416 Attachment 214417 Chris |

News? March 16, 2008 Filed under: News — JustJake @ 12:05 am Did you see that? Gas just hit $3.50 a gallon. Damn. UHWM differential mounts are now $45 shipped. Buy some if you need some. I’ve had some requests for a stage 2 so Delrin diff mounts are coming out soon. Probably 45-60 days out without a group buy. UHWM NA/NB Miata motor mounts in soon. Machine shop just confirmed that they’ll be finished by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week and shipped by the weekend. Big brake kit is currently getting the best of me. Should have a handle on it within the week. Updates asap on that one. There’s a thread over on Miataturbo, I’ll link when something good happens. |
Okay I've a set of calipers.. Need some brackets meow!!!

Anybody try using some measurements and emachineshop.com? My fab guy said no because of liability..... With the right measurements.... mounting points and caliper offset.... anybody with some sense should be able to make something up in CAD and have it made...
|
I have a set of 4 pot RX7 calipers. I'll be making some brackets this summer, and thought about making a few extra sets if there's interest.

Would the masses prefer to use 01+ Sport Rotors, or the Corrado G60 rotors? I have someone to make the brackets.
|
whichever rotors are cheaper. i want some brackets too!

I bet the corrado rotors are hella cheaper than the 01 sport rotors.

I'm in for corrado rotors and rx7 brakes. depending on cost of course
|
there is more than decent interest. You build it, they'll buy it. See how many views are in the COP conversion thread? over 33K, I'd expect the same.
|
yeah i'd say there would be a good market for an affordable brake setup, make sure they fit under popular wheels though

I can make some brackets or full kits if you guys are interested. Corrado rotors and wilwood dynalite calipers, what I have right now.
|
Theres more than enough interest for some VW Rotors! Go!!
|
Done deal.. They are going to make brackets so you can use an RX7 Caliper and Corrado Rotor. My car will be going under the knife for this very soon.
|
I am in. Like to know what the cost would be around.
|
I'm in for the brackets. Also, depending on cost.

I have a 99 and was planing on using the stock rotors. Is there any reason you can't? Guess I'll find out eventually unless there's a reason why it wouldn't work.
I was hoping it would work with stock rotors so this is a cheap upgrade. I got the calipers for 40. The brackets wouldn't cost shit to make. I'd sell the brackets for 20 bucks if I made them. It's just a piece of flat stock with 4 holes in it. |

Any word yet on the brackets? I'd love to pick me up a pair for the front brakes. By the way, GREAT discussion thread.
To Quote, "IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME." :friday: I came, and now I am drooling to have me some 4 piston calipers tossed onto my 2000. :yippee: |
Ordering up a set of calipers tonight... if there arn't any brackets available by the time I get back from offshore I'll model some up and send them to my CNC shop for a "sample build".
|
Probably around $75-$85 for the brackets. There is quite a large investment for the company making them as they need to run 250 brackets at a time.
Still a great price in my mind. |
