Not picking on you exclusivly here dude, but... This is a car site, so I think this needs to be addressed, to everyone who makes this mistake read the below.

Brakes is what stops your car.

If your brakes dont work, you break your car.

So lets go over that again. On a car its Brake. In music is breaks.

Dave, I was kidding...

I just sunk a heap of cash into upgrading my own breaks, and im running a bog stock engine, remember?

Ahh my bad.

In that case...

Who really cares about a few spelling mistakes on an internet forum - and to forget a S on the end of breaks is more a typo then a spelling mistake, or a gramatical error. Again, its an internet forum, were here for the most part to have a casual chat, its *not* the Australian High Court and *noone is going to die* if I miss an s on the end of breaks.

I didnt really think anyone would be that pedantic about it...

Dude, its not the 's'. You are spelling the whole word wrong.

If it was a big crazy word that has nothing to do with cars and you would use twice in your life fair enough. But its brakes.

Let me try again.

BRAKES (read, say it, spell it out it b-r-a-k-e-s) are the round bits and the calipers that stop your car.

BREAKS (read it, say it spell it out b-r-e-a-k-s) is like a lunch break, a bone break, etc. NOTHING to do with stopping a car.

So many people on here stuff it up, as I said dude, I am not picking on just you here!

(that or you got me hook line and sinker)

No, but you are treating me in a demeaning, insulting and childish manner (read, say it etc) in public (could of easily been addressed over a PM if it really irks you that much) over something that means nothing. Youll forgive me if I think your topping it a bit rude, to put it nicely.

But I tell you what, if I was to go through your most recent posts and see if I could find any *gramatical* errors (Note: The spelling of the words was correct. Its not that I could not spell, its that I picked the wrong word, since were being pedantic about everything I guess so did you) would I find any? I Guess I kind of just did, but oh well....

Its a forum for christs sake, on the internet. There is alot worse and will continue to be alot worse then me at grammar and spelling on here. If your so concerned about every post being a thesis on english, prehaps you should also sign up to a swanky crowd such as http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum who discuss the meanings of words all day. Wow, such excitement.

breaks arent important when building a fast car daveo, dont you know that? :thumbsup:

Mike you were going to buy the MX5 from the word go with this thread. The majority vote was for a 32 GTR, yet you completly discarded this and went with the MX5 anyway.

Im not saying dont buy what you want and im not saying follow the trend or popular oppinion, but why ask for it when you dont particually care what everyone says? Or was it just to see if your MX5 idea was popular?

In any case, you will need much better breaks then the stock MX5 ones, and forgies and B6T rods from the outset, otherwise this project will just end in tears.

the mx5 was my original idea ian, but then i started thinking about other cars. so i decided to see what was out there and peoples opinions on them all.

its not that i have completely discarded the gtr or skylines. i wanted to see others opinions on my idea and other vehicles. i am trying to keep an open mind about it all. i have never driven any of the vehicles listed so i needed a little info on everything. i knew the gtr would be the favourite, but i wanted to see why. people always say there are really good, and i knew if i put it in there people would say why its so good. to be honest i was leaning towards the mr2 at one point.

i actually decided a few days ago that i didnt want to go AWD again, not yet. that was the turning point. also, i think the gtr is a little outta my price range right now. 16k wouldnt get me a really good condition one.

I think the only initial upgrade he needs to do is slotted rotors and heavy duty pads, unless he wants to do circuit then he will have to up grade.

this is what we are putting in the mx5

* Wilwood Dynalite forged 4 piston billet aluminum calipers in the front.

* Stainless Steel caliper pistons for superior resistance to thermal conductivity.

* Billet Aluminum caliper mounting brackets made from T6061 aluminum.

* 11.0 " lightweight two piece rotors with billet hats for the front.

* 10.75 " lightweight two piece rotors with billet hats for the rear.

* Stainless steel braided brake lines reduced weight 8lbs in front and 2 lbs in the rear.

* Wilwood "Q" pads with patened nu-cap retention system.

* Q pads are rated to 800 degrees.

that is costing $2150. i have to order it from sydney. so i have thought about the brakes and found this package already to go for me.

i havent included things like suspension, brakes and other items because there is not much left to decide on. my mate seamus has been doing some research on it all for me along with a few other friends. the only thing we couldnt decide on for certain was what kind of engine. even now, we are still debating whether to go to the 1.8 still.

the reason i started this thread is to get as much information as possible from all of you. then use all that to make my decision.

oh, and did you have fun spamming me guys :rant: keep it to whoretown would ya

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
