[DeOngster]

[spyderslr]

[DeOngster]

nola bro bukan the mintex... hehehhe... its brake pads alltogether la... in order for me to get a set Trial will order them for me but it will take a really long time to arrive

 

[DeOngster]

sorry i misread your post... hahahah i tot them was reffered to as brake pads in general... my bad

 

[faisal]

Huh? so what exactly was ordered from Japan?

 

[spyderslr]

i think he means the calipers n pads......

 

[DeOngster]

ahhah nothing... okok ill explain again.. i went to trial sourcing for Pads then they informed me that if i wanted them they have to be ordered and it will take 2 months to arrive... thats what trial told me... the pads have no specific brand.

 

[faisal]

pimpin,

draw a cutout of your pads and I can check availability

 

[skyrap]

why not use Endless brake pad?....more good quality in ur breaking....

 

[faisal]

Which Endless brake pads?

They too have a range of pads from fast road to endurance.

 

[skyrap]

MA45B for endurance...good want ma....

Can this MA45B last the 12hr endurance race??

How much left after 12hr and what car u use it for?

Thanks.

 

[skyrap]

i use it on my satria GTI....sure can last for 12hours...about 50% left after 12 hours....so i can use it on this endurance this year

 

[chris2000]

But i check the endless web, it says its for 6 to 12hr race only.. So after 12hrs still got 50% so much?? How much for a set on the GTI?

I just use Rx-7 FC 4 pot caliper and Volvo caliper on my AE92 with King brakepad rated: 0- 400 degree.
After 3 session of open track day, it stilll left about 40%.
Never dissapointed with my current brake setup although brake at 80ft mark at turn 1 and turn 15 approaching the turn at 180km/h.

 

[gary]

er.. bro, i think you meant 80 metre mark right? at the 80ft mark, you're already past F1 cars braking point i think.

btw, what engine do you have in your AE92? hitting 180km/h on the 2 straights is pretty decent.

EG9 has a 4age 20v blacktop in his ae92 ... having 8k rev cut helps a bit :shades_smile:

BTW I have tried the mintex redbox and an almost finished mintex 1144 in sepang and even though the redbox was more than enough to stop in time it faded quite fast and didn't last long only 3 track days . The 1144 I tried had like 2-3mm left only and I manage to brake consistently at the 100m mark and I dare say could stop even later but my balls dissapeared already so didn't dare push it and even after 20mins of non stop driving in the track it didnt' fade and the bite is excellent !!! Just replaced it with brand new mintex 1144 pads and can't wait to hit the tracks again !!! AWESOME now I just love my brakes !! hahahah

 

[faisal]

Yoga,

told you the Mintex M1144s were freaking awesome.

I'm surprised my leftovers 1144 (3mm left) could last a whole staurday morning in your car.

Now I'm on M1155. even more brutal barking. hahahah

 

[gary]

ah.. that explains it. plus the ae92 is such a light car as well.

yah man .. almost wanted to dump the setup in favour of 4 pot brakes .. hmmm 1155 sounds interesting ...

gary
he's car is TOTALLY STRIPPED with roll cage that's why he dare to brake so late also .. hahahah last time on my mamoth SEG AE101 hitting 170-180 on the straights is no problem .. even on my slow poke 16v 160-170 on the straights still possible
