That should refresh your brake system a whole lot and let you stop safely on the street. The stock brakes are more than adequate for any turbo car, much more so any N/A car.

the reson why im wanting a loger brake kit is becouse this car isnt just going to be a car i take out and joy ride in this car is going to be seeing Auto X corses and highway 421 and the dragen probly some to i would like to have that eatra little bit of braking power if at all posoble and i perfer using factry parts from outher cars becouse if somthing fucks up you can always go to advanc and have it in the next day but if i can up grade it i will mostlikly go with brembo rotors, hawk pads, and SB brake lines and call it a day

With an N/A, you will come out of every corner waiting for a turbo to spool. Only it will never happen.

IMHO, deep groove race bearings aren't required at all. In fact, I wouldn't even change the exisiting bearings in your engine unless they are trash. For what you're doing, money could be better spent elsewhere (unless you require them due to damage)

Good luck with your build

umm.... hairdryer and goo gone will do the trick to ANYTHING.

Again, on brakes: If your car is 4 lug, then you need to upgrade, if it is 5 lug, then you have the same brakes as the TURBO model, and if they will slow that down, they will be MORE THAN ENOUGH for the N/A!

Please, leave any preconcieved notions outside when you are here, we rotorheads are like family, and only want to help. We wont tell you something like this if it:

a) was bullshit.

b) hasn't been asked 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times by other people. We have all been there, and a lot of the knowledge comes down from very experienced people who know the RX-7 inside and out!

im not trying to be a ass hole im not i understand every thang ur say and that you have been there but i have been there with the brake befor right know not a big deal to me more woried about the motor than the brakes but i do evently plan on up grading thim and this is my resoning ok this wont be my first car bilt like this and for this set up ok i know how to drive and i drive hard not trying to be coucky but i was driving my buddys 300zx TT stock braks but with hawk pads and brembo rotors and SB brake lines up graded suspension and bolt on motor up graded FMIC, 3" down piped up graded to T28 turbos ....... made around 450hp basickly just about ran right of a mountin becouse the brake set up couldnt slow me down enuf to go around a blind tern yes i know i was a dome ass for going so fast but im not at that point in my life ware im willing to chanch it id perfer have upgraded braks and not haft to worry about it for right know

[Max777]

/\ You know, that is a good idea for someone who has been an owner for a while, and gotten to know what it's like to be a rotorhead, but maybe it isnt such a good idea for someone who's just jumping into it? I think that the TS will enjoy their N/A just fine, and after they get to know their car well, they can go turbo? A lot of people complain that the FC is slow, but after driving my moms huindai, any sportscar is fast! Also, my vert is faster than a friends auto 944! (althrough that's not saying much )

Personally, I am going the N/A route so I can learn how to drive and not kill myself in the process,

well, if you plan on acting crazy then yeah, start NA to prevent death and increase power later. If you can control urges to act silly then I don't see how a stock S4TII would be less safe than an NA. It's not about being fast or slow. It's about power-to-cost ratio for me.

I asked if it was an option and I have yet to experience the problem you're mentioning about lag. Ever. Maybe if you slap on a GT35 or something bigger.

Then why are you trying to waste money on big brake kits and stuff you don't need or EVEN KNOW it NEEDS?

cool. NA is just as fun.


FIXED your posts but DAMN! I can't do it again.


WTF is lematachens??????????????
