Mazderati - the brakes are 11.75" X 1.25" Willwood ultralight rotors and Wilwood Dynalite calipers up front. Stock Mazda GSL-SE rear brakes (10" X .8" vented rotors). I have pics at home. Trust me, they work real well and I was never able to fade them even running as deep as I could into the corners. And I didn't even have the brake cooling ducts hooked up!

I meant to imply that by reading your description of the car's weight and brake set-up that it must stop on a dime. I'm not sure if that is what you got out of it. Just thought I would clarify.



Again, great job.

Wha'ca got there in you sig inanimate_object?



If its a rotory 7, you are the man!

Not a rotary 7 I'm afraid, (although technically I could still choose what engine to put in it) I'm going with motorbike power instead to keep the weight down and for the sequential gearbox https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I would definitely consider rotary though if petrol here wasn't so expensive and there were more donors around here (Ireland).

I hate to say it, but I was beat in a time trial by 0.06sec by a Locost running a 1200cc motorcycle engine and gear box. I think it was 700lbs! I helped the guy lift the front of it up onto jackstands for him to make some adjustment in the paddock.



That thing was quick.

Good luck!

Bloody hell that is light!!!! I thought I'd be doing well if I get it below 500kgs (1100lbs). I honestly can't imagine the speed that car must go (and yours by the looks of things).
