Looks like you're going to have a blast with this car.
Looking at those pads they look like the size of the rears - maybe even smaller. I imagine a short trip to the store without getting on a higher speed highway wouldn't be too bad, but I'd be curious if people have really used them heavily on the street. Seems a bit risky.Car arrives next week. One thing that hasn't been touched are the brakes. I'm looking to save weight on rotating mass, and drop weight in general.
Anyone have any input on who to use, likes/dislikes? Wilwood? Stop-tech? Car will be a weekend warrior, mainly drag use, and the occasional trip around town.
Was looking at the following:
STM 1G/2G DSM Lightweight Front Drag Brake Kit
Ditch the weight of your stock brakes and clear room to run 15" wheels and slicks for drag racing applications. Drop about 15 pounds of rotating mass. Fits all 1990-1999 turbo AWD/FWD Eclipse, Talon and Laser models. Used on some of the fastest DSMs in the world!stmtuned.comBrake Kit - Wilwood Front Lightweight Brake Kit (2G DSM)
shop.boostinperformance.com
I know the lightweight front drag brake kit says it shouldn't really be used for daily driving, but does anyone happen to "daily" their car around that has these brakes?

I've always been too intimidated to pull transmissions apart. @twicks69 would know.Question for those with trans internal experience.
I took off the end case to fix the RTV and reseal it, it was leaking.
when I did so, a synchro and another little metal ring fell out. The synchro appears to have its place and pops back in, and lines up with these 3 tabs, the first and second pics.
my question is on the third pic, is this ring supposed to be wavy? I’m also trying to line these up with picture 4, looks like it should be placed and aligned with the housing side of the end case.

One end of the e-brake cable attaches to the caliper mounting plate. The other end attaches under the center console, inside the car. They are mounted to the underside of the car with some clamps similar to p clamps.How does one replace the e brake cables from this point. The only guide I’ve found, pics no longer work, and not sure how I can get inside to detach the cable from this point.
the hub/32mm but will not come off, entire can of pb blaster, 1/2 inch impact wrenches, nothing.
