demo243 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 So tried the 200sx stuff on the 13s with a 10mm spacer and they still don't fit. ... So I think I'm going to stick with 510 stuff and a wilwood setup... Also for the bling factor.... 13s prob won't fit with the wilwoods either.... So I might be in the market for some new 13s ... Panasports would be awesome!! Will prob order brakes this week 2 Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Committed to DP racing wilwood kit, placed the order today. Also ordered their steering box brace. Lots of pics to come in the near future 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Sweet! Just curious on the 13's. You seem to be building your brakes around them. Why not 14's or 15's? 1 Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 It's mostly an auto x thing- Plenty of full slicks available since the formula ford cars run the same size, and they are cheaper... But mostly a small wheel/tire combo is lighter and accelerates faster. 1 Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 So 15s for street use to get the tire options and cruisability ... 13s for race use. Although I'll probably run these 15s at the track... The tires on my 13s are too soft Quote Link to comment

demo243 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Quick update... Was away for the weekend and going away on business tomorrow ... Not as far along as I'd like but just haven't had timeTook a while to find these adapters.... Only flying Miata had them... I guess they get the custom made... 1/8-27 npt male threads to m10x1 female threads. Let's me use the stock 510 lines ( mind are upgraded to stainless braided) directly into the wilwood caliper. Got a spare set just in case.Rotor mounted up... Was shorted some washers so had to go pick some up... Picked up stainless ones . No instructions on mounting so had a few emails back and forth to figure it out. Also the rotor hat was a very tight fit on the hub used the torch to help itMocked up 3 Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I got some brakes! unfortunately as I was afraid of… they don't fit my steel 13's… I guess its time to find some panasports!!!!!I also proceeded to do one of the stupidest things I have ever done… and go bed my pads in with out properly torquing my lugs down…. thankfully I hit em all with a breaker bar quick before I dropped the car… so it appears that no damage was done and I didn't end up like that AutoX RX7 video on youtube…. that was a scary and nervous ride home when I realized….. Didn't get to my steering box brace yet… hopefully that will come before the track day on the 4th… need to get to busta's place to align her and maybe even get the wheels balanced. Still debating which diff to run for thunder hill west… 510T posted a video with speeds topping around 85 which is totally doable on the 4.44 … but the 4.11 will be an easier drive up on the highway… decisions decisions …. 3 Quote Link to comment

demo243 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I just walked next door from where I work to the glass shop he said he can get one- $285 installed if my gasket is good $350 if he needs to get a gasket 3 Quote Link to comment
FirstDime Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 thats pretty good, maybe i should just do that. I was going to pay $100 for glass, i got the gasket for $60 and going to be $150 to install so that is already $310. What is the name of the glass shop? Quote Link to comment

FirstDime Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 All u gots to do is ask. I'm always down to help out where I can. I called Marin auto glass and they said they couldn't get the glass but with my own seal they would charge $150 in labor. About a 2-3 hour job with the chrome inserts... Quote Link to comment
