Damn, so many sexy FD's! I bought mine quite a while ago, but I have never driven it yet. Engine needs rebuilding. Planning on a full rebuild, bridge porting, t3/t4 single turbo. Apexi Power FC, D2 Drift suspension kit etc etc..

some pics (engine removal and my E30):

was just down in FL with my car for the past week.

didn't have much time to work on it but i was able to spend one afternoon doing the brakes & lines.

removed / cleaned / painted all the calipers, installed a set of Sakebomb Garage Stainless/Brained brake lines, and also Endless SS-S pads all the way around.

so far, loving this setup. the brakes are super responsive, near silent, and have excellent stopping power. now i just need some better tires...

unfortunately i forgot to bring my good camera to the shop, so i only have camera phone pics of the install...

here's the BEFORE pic (they were painted silver w/ red mazda logos):


the new stuff:


calipers removed/cleaned/painted:


front brakes installed:


rear brakes installed:


only shot i have of the brakes with the wheels back on...


i'll have to take more pics the next time i'm down there with my car...

Thumbs up nice

I realy like the new paint work on the calipers Tom! better than the red with grey IMO. How do you get to paint it and still have the MAZDA letters nice and shiny without paint on them??

thanks! yeah the silver/red got really dirty and just didn't look nice. also, the silver/red kind of clashed with the gunmetal rims.

i painted them with the black spray-on caliper paint. i had the calipers completely removed and clean so it was really easy to paint them. only took about 1 can to do all four calipers, and i was able to get like 4 coats on each caliper.

after i painted it, i used a rotary air-tool to sand off the paint on the mazda logo. i over-sanded a little bit and scuffed the paint, so i taped over the letters and gave them one final spray.

looks really good in person. wish i had taken better pics.
