My "Big Brake Project"

[G Man]

Just getting underway on what I have dubbed my "Big Brake Project".

I had originally began to collect some pieces for this project which included a Blue Spot caliper and an NR Performance adapter kit.

Some of you may remember my thread last fall when I was looking for a suitable 11mm master cylinder to work with the blue spot caliper.

I scrapped that idea and have gone a new route.



The new setup consists of the following:

Brembo Caliper:

- Piston diameter : 30 / 34mm

- Material : Aluminum (Casting2pc)

- Weight : Approximately 880g

- Surface treatment : Gold

- Piston material : Aluminum

- Mounting Pitch : 40mm


Motolanna caliper and rotor adapters:

EBC 320mm MD Standard floating rotor # MD2003X

13mm Slimline Master cylinder with brake switch and 8mm mirror mount(which will require an adapter to 10mm):

The last piece I have to source is a stainless line once I spec out the length and fitting arrangements. I will buy it from this eBay seller I have dealt with before:

I only have a couple of early pics but will add more as I progress.






More updates to follow.

Very nice, G--of course you know we'll expect to see a few action pics showing stoppies; that system should be more than able to pull the back end up!

Ooooh yummy.

Looks good. It will be interesting to hear about your impressions on how well it works.
