My friend with T-88 RX-7 and I were driving back from Speed & Sound after the brake job. I gently pressed the brake paddle without thinking about the new brakes as the light turned yellow to red. Suddenly, I hear loud screeching noise and the puff of brake & tire smoke... Tasted like Crap.
Can't wait until installing the 4-piston back brake kit.


Decided to put the hood pins after watching the CF hood making waves on highway. It was scary watching middle of the hood raising about 5 inches off fenders.

Correct.
BOMEX is one of sponsors for my SC so I put them on my SC making a complete kit.

They look great but functionality equals nearly zero.
Manual and very small!
