And then a little photoshoot with my shitty camera phone.

I love the bloody thing even more! It's not a super bite like braking, but man if you want it to stop, it stops! No more wobbling and no more strange noises! Am a happy man! I deserve a good late night meal and sleep! Good night Oppo!

Very nice Miata! And the 3 of course! What's that in the garage?

Yup am a sucker for them hahahahaha. But my budget opted for the Miata instead, until I can afford to swap a 13B N/A in it and maintain it :D

This is relevant to my interests... got an NA with brakes that need attention; was thinking about doing a little upgrading

How much are you willing to pay?

Oh, I'd hope for around $300 but could do another hundred if that's unrealistic. I'm basically trying to determine which specific components I can upgrade that will have the most impact-per-dollar. I'm currently thinking about rotors, pads, fluids, and lines, but what do I really know. Kind of going off those brake kits Flyin' Miata sells.

Soon only 2, the Rx7 is a great money pit right now.

If you are racing on the track, it's gonna be at least 400-500$ worth of stuff (where I live that is). If you just drive around town fast, just get rotors, pads and fluid for the moment. You got two choice, you get cheap but good blank rotors like Wagner and great pads like EBC green stuff, PBR/Axxis Ultimate or Hawk HPS. Or if I was you I would check the price for Brembo rotors (should be 40$ per rotor) or OEM, PBR/Axxis Ultimate pads (The PBR rear pads for mine were discontinued so I got Hawk HPS instead.) and ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid.

It would be for the street. Thanks for the names; I really have to look into stuff like brands next.

No problem. Consult Miata forums, they helped greatly when I decided what I wanted for mine.
