Thanks.! The caliper and brake lines are bolt on. I only had to fabricate the center ring for the rotors and drill 4x100 pcd holes. They have VERY good performance even with the oem Ford EU-spec brake pads. I'll be replacing them soon with something more agressive(ds2500,1144,project μ)...

I decided to upgrade my brakes because it is currently the weakest point of the car. The stock brakes with Hawk HP+ and RBF600 fluid had very good bite and stopping power but started to fade after 2-3 laps on the track or on a downhill mountain course. The first choice was to use Mazda fc-fd...

The car is still running strong after 157.000Km. I run again at our local track and had lots of fun.!(nana)

Its similar to this.You can't pop the shaft out completely but you still can lube-grease it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am_4KlNYmuU

How can you compare different tunes by top speed or feel. Just do a dyno test on the same dyno or race a friend with a standard car with similar performance.

I have my engine ecu tuned and i hear the same noise at 7000rpm (7400 on tacho). It is very easy to reproduce especially when I hit the rev limiter several times and then back off the throtlle a little bit. Half way also uses stiffer valve spring for tuning the rev limit at 8000rpm...

The parts for 3rd gear cost 160euros.

Yes this is true. This is maybe why the japanese mz2 racecars for super taikyu are lowered so much.

10/2010 156.000km Regular greasing of the steering column for clunking noise, two engine mounts replaced/fixed due to track use, 3rd gear syncro replacement for the same reason. Interior and exterior perfect

How do the DTC60 compare to the HP+ for track use?

So, do we have any news about matching valve springs, thinner head gasket or camshafts? Looks like Half Way Japan has done it but I cant find further info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y-OEZegHOg

Hallo Solid, I'm from Athens. The car still runs strong after 128.500km, I'm having lots of fun with it without any major problems.!

For sure you will also need stiffer valve springs if you want to rev higher than 7000 real rpm (7400 at the tacho).
