    My Brakes Failed???

    The G88 Tarox discs are rusting like crazy but thats a common tradeoff I am fine with. If the FN2 wasn't a daily driver I would spend the effort on blasting them clean and giving a coat of stainless steel paint just to keep the inspector happy. It might just have been fading that led to the...

    My Brakes Failed???

    Why have you swapped out the Tarox discs If I might ask ? As far as I know Tarox is as good as it gets when it comes to brakes. They are the only upgrade discs we can legally install here that I am aware of. I might switch to either Ferrodo or EBC pads with some motul brake fluid. Big brake kit...

    My Brakes Failed???

    Hello, sorry for digging old an old thread but I thought using this one instead of making a new one. Yesterday I had a scary moment where I assume that my brakes failed/overheated. Approaching a corner, brake performance went down to almost half if not more while I had to press the pedal as...

    EP3 Door seals freezing SOLID shut, and i mean SOLID =(

    Had a similar issue, although not as bad. Door did not open, so I pulled a bit harder and then *crzzzcht* it went open. Sprayed the seals with rubber protection yesterday to prevent this happening next time. Last year my RX7 was frozen solid (about 5 mm solid ice), couldnt get inside for about...

    Really bad braking power at at high speed - FN2

    I now have the solution to why it doesnt stop well, got a phone call from the stealer ... There was a set of competition racing pads mounted ... Of course under normal driving conditions they won't do the job properly. They need to get heated up. I didn't went so far as considering a set of...
