NEW! Rotora BIG Brake Kit: A few pics
My Rotora Brake kit was installed a while ago and I finally got a few pics. Thanks to PMP Designs for hookin me up!! These things things are H U G E!
They are awesome! I have even more confidence now when exploring the power & handling capablities of my Z. I don't know how well this will translate (gotta be there kinda thing) but here's an example.
STUPIDITY DISCLAIMER: I fully understand the stupidity of my actions in the following example. It's not an everyday accurance, only when conditions and timing allow. Even so, I'm an idiot...
When leaving the security gate at work theres a very small stretch of road (to release a little tension from the day) ending with a 90 degree blind right turn. There's a canal on the right, chain link fence on dirt & coral on the left. If you miss the turn, a big willow-like tree is protecting the 3rd green of the Hickam golf course at the end. Plus you need to watch out for the base police. Anyway, my buddy would brag that he could get up to 75mph before slowing to make the turn in his M5. The best I was able to do before was a little over 60. After the Procharger I was able to get it up to 69mph and still make the turn. I had the power for more but it was ugly and scary slowing down to make the turn. I tried 75, have you ever seen ticked off, freaked out & terrified golfers
I swear one of them was throwing something at me, deservably so.
Well since the brake upgrade I've been able to try a few more times. I can easily hit 80mph now! There's room for more but I don't have the sack. I forgot to mention there's usually some dirt on the road in the turn. Here's a few pics.
