those are a Bige brake kit technically. the rear's are like 2 inch's larger. and the fronts are over an inch larger, and have a TON more pad area.

I was thinking more along the lines of 13" rotors and 4 pot calipers front and rear. But yeah, they aren't really affordable, lol. But big wheels and little brakes always have been an "all show no go" thing for me. No offense to anyone with big wheels and small brakes. It's just always been something that irks me.

lol i think a turbo KLZE is enough for the "go" department lol

lol, yeah. But just remember, the bigger the wheels, the longer it takes to stop. And now that you have a turbo klze, you will be going faster when you do need to stop. That's why you won't ever catch me with anything bigger than 15" wheels on a bg. Only way I'd upsize my wheels is if I had to do it to fit larger brakes, and even then i'd only go as big as it would take to clear the calipers. But thats just my own opinion on wheels.

Anyways, I was wondering how much fabrication it took to go to 5 lug? I've been thinking about going 5 lug on my next race car because 4X100 steel wheels are getting harder and harder to find cheap, but there are tons of cars in the junkyards with 5X114.3 bolt pattern, so the wheels are cheap and easy to find, not to mention it would be a stronger setup with 5 lugs vs 4 lugs because the weight would be distributed on 5 studs rather than 4.

he's running the full brake set up off a probe GT. which is over 400 pounds heavier of a car. im sure those will be plenty of an upgrade to match his power output. specially considering how much of a joke the stock set up was on these car's to start with.

Got my intercooler back from the welder today, hit it a couple times with some mothers mag polish, lookin pretty good.. Ill really polish the **** out of it when its ready to go on the car for good.

[monoxidechild]

its just a local metal fab shop. i doubt he knows what the welder is.

Just my two cents on brakes. 13" rotors will not help you if you have a 205 section width tire. I read an article on EG Civics's and the SIR brakes out performed the Brembo Gran Turismo set-up for this reason. Now if you fender flare it and run 245 + section width tires on the front, by all means step up the brakes. Another interesting factoid is the stock MX-3 V6 has 60-0 MPH stopping distances equal to cars that cost as much as a house and end in a vowel. So even the larger BG or Mx-3 "big" brakes will make a huge differance.

King6 passenger motor mount! Very pleased, these arent listed on his site, but emailed him and he sent me one with the quickness. I asked him if he could paint it silver to match my AWR mounts and did no problem.. Still havent installed it but probably will later tonite

[Mazda_Powered]

nice piece man! I'm getting the trailing arms for my 626 from King6, possible the manual timing belt tensioner too, mine's a bit noisy on cold days lol

[The Pile]

I wouldnt run a manual tensioner.. The KL needs a hydraulic one... One stationary tension on the timing belt has proved more than once not to be a good thing... just my .02$ just get a new a hydraulic one, they last a good 50k+ usually anyways

[Mooneggs]

Is that King6 pass mount for a ZE?? If so do they also make the other side mount for the top of the tranny?

[The Pile]

Yes its for the v6, he does make the otherside as well.. I already have an AWR driver mount or I probably woulda picked that one up too..

Installed

fancy!!
