Hey everyone,
for my widebody RX-7 im doing the TII big brake kit up front before taking measurements and ordering my CCW's. Parts have been coming in like crazy and the only thing im waiting for is the 5 bolt TII hubs.

My setup includes:
11" TII powerslot rotors
4 pot TII calipers reman
Respeed big brake adapter kit
New grease seals
Inner wheel bearings
Brake hardware kit
SS braided DOT approved brake lines
Hawk HPS TII pads
And used front hubs

Tell me what you guys think!

Those parts look realllly nice! Damn ive wanted to an AWD conversion on the lude for a while, drums are just so damn hideous!

SilviaDrifter
looking good man....how much did teh kit cost cuz i was thinking of doing that to my FB.....i hate drums...

Dan_s_young
So far thats about 1200 ish...

SilviaDrifter
holy fuck......thast real expensive......i rather jus swap out GSL rear end with disc brakes and LSD......but i wont be working on my FB for a while as i am still trying to get my turbo running right....

Dan_s_young
haha thats just the front, don't get me started on what I plan for the rear.... I am thinking ford 8.8", with 11" rear discs in the back.

Who ever said performance was cheap? This thing should stop on a dime.... Which will be awesome for matching the power im going to throw at it.

SilviaDrifter
wow thats crazy.....
what size of wheels are you going with the widebody.......
u know which other wide body looks nice is the Mariah Mode 1 kit i love it

Dan_s_young
im going to be running 17x10 in the front, and 17x12 in the rear...

SilviaDrifter
haha ur crazy.....are u gonna be keeping the 12A or no.....

if u arent part out ur exhuast and headers and carb hahah jk jk

Dan_s_young
Actually im one step ahead of you, Intake setup is sold, and the RB muffler is sold. But I still have the 12a stockport headers and presilencer for sale. Also at some point im going to sell the short block and tranny, the engine has 40-50k on a rebuild.

Im either going with a microtech setup or a haltech E6k. Its still a toss up...

SilviaDrifter
i would take the headers off u....but my motor is ported so i cant.....dam i wish i would have known u were selling ur parts i would have bought em off u.....so im guessing ur going with a 13BT....who is going to build ur motor...

Dan_s_young
Well you could run the stockport headers, its just the SP exhaust setup has the long primaries with is good for a extra bit of horsepower.

As far as the motor goes, either im going to buy one that was freshily professionally built or build it myself. I have rebuilt several piston engines, and I have rebuild videos so I think I would be up for the task...

sounds like a sick project..gonna be really nice when done. :thumbup:
