Originally posted by funkdaddysmack Hey, lemme know what happens with the brakes. Mine suck, and any upgrade would be welcome. I get some wicked-ass fade... Guess it's the 'heavy' lightweight rims :p :D DRUMS kick major ass... I can lock up my rear brakes and spin the car around ... whheeoooooweeeee Bruce |
normal driving the brakes are fine, but i have this little run through a twisty street and at the end they'll usually be getting soft. i see speeds up to 140kph (80mph?) on this little run. It lasts for about 5 or so minutes of hard driving.
its my 3 in the morning run when no one is around. |
Originally posted by pluto316 Pfff, at least he drives a MSP. Have fun in your LAME Protege!! MSP 4-LIFE!!!! Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you own a Protege5 not too long ago? http://www.houston-imports.com/forum...ilies/slap.gif |
Just replaced the pads and fuild... I get brake fade when I'm stopping hard from moderate speeds....
I'm assuming it has to be the wheels/tires, because it used to stop great with the 13s... ahhh well |
Same trouble here, but it only start after two or three race, the part where you have to brake for 230kph to 100 cause you think there's a cop ahead and anyway the guy is about one kilometer behind you and i have four disc brake.

If the MSP is not meant to be fast, why the hell did they turbo it? Certainly not for fuel economy. Maybe im the Dumbed fuck here, but I dont think the turbo will make it handle better. :dunno:

I kno this is a dumb Question but do anyone have a pic of the 323?

Originally posted by atila I don't understand mazda. They had an good handling with the 323 gtx and gtr and awesome powerplant with the engine powering those car and now the only thing they can do is a car the handle good, come on. The old 1.8l dohc puts out 180hp stock and can stand easely in the 200hp, the new 2l turbo is what 170hp at 7 or 8psi and you have to be carefull not to go to high if you augment the boost not to brake it. By the way an msp will be behind me in a curve has i have the suspension to handle the same curve has the msp but i also have the engine to pull me out of the curve. |
Well the speed isn't produce by mazda, it a joint venture with two other compagnie that may explane a good part of it
