Haha I don't even have his number.

Sooo, I'm still getting used to having the R4-s pads in the rear. It feels soooo wierd. When you brake, the car doesn't lunge forward, but its definitely braking!

masagsxr · 06-12-2009, 12:40 AM

FYI... 70% of the brakes comes from the front Davis not the rear. I know you got the race pads in the rear..... How is it overall with the lines and stuff? I know the brake pedal is so stiff you don't even need to press hard on it.

Davis · 06-12-2009, 12:41 AM

Of course I know that most of it is in the front, but dang with the R4-s it really changes the bias to the rear! It feels pretty solid so far.

masagsxr · 06-12-2009, 12:47 AM

HHmmm... I should do mine after work... hhmmmmm its friday tho...

Will wait for that guy to buy fluid and will show him some stuff as he is kind of a noob (sssshhhhh)

o6spdracer · 06-12-2009, 01:28 AM

Whoa? What the? Huh?

masagsxr · 06-12-2009, 01:30 AM

Oh this guy owes me $$$ and will buy some brake fluid for me before I install the rotors, 91 front turbo calipers and the lines

Mark_Dorman · 06-12-2009, 01:36 AM

In a car with a rear weight bias there braking percentages are a little different. Because with a rear weight bias the weight distribution doesn't shift (weight transfer) as dramatically to the front. This gives the rear tires more stopping power than on a traditional front engine car

o6spdracer · 06-12-2009, 01:54 AM

So Davis??? What are you planning on getting? MRS?

Something newer with more potential, think turbo.

Mark_Dorman · 06-12-2009, 01:09 PM

deucegirl03 · 06-12-2009, 02:12 PM

Does anybody know who this guy is that's selling the car? I actually bought some tires from his shop and he said he could do a full paint job on a 2 for about $2k. I'm wondering how good his quality is.

masagsxr · 06-12-2009, 03:56 PM

No problem Ren.. wtf was that guy thinking? I guess some people would take the deal if they're desperate

deucegirl03 · 06-12-2009, 04:02 PM

^i guess thats true...i think we worked something out that is fair to both of us...
i can't wait to get home tonight and start getting the garage ready for the two! yay!

o6spdracer · 06-12-2009, 06:21 PM

Whats wrong with subbies?

1stgen · 06-12-2009, 07:15 PM

What is a TRD rear strut brace worth?

masagsxr · 06-12-2009, 07:42 PM

^Now? Too daym much hahaaa... Get the regular xbrace then maybe a cusco rear brace or have a fab shop make you one. I think thats a cheaper route to go.
