Refreshing the stock caliper wasn't as bad as i thought it be . Most time consuming part was cleaning and polishing up the mazda letter. Clean it up with brake cleaner and take a 400grit paper dry sand it till the letters shine.
i tried what others on here suggested with a drill or rotary tool to wire wheel it . Didnt turn out so good it was gouging the metal making it rougher and rougher lol
anyways once its shiny i cleaned the rest up with a wire scrub and brake cleaner. Masked off the letters and hit it with VHT black gloss caliper paint. Once it drys hit it with gloss clear.
A-vuala nice caliper
FYI you don't have to mask the letters off. Sand them and get them all good, then paint the caliper. After the paint dries sand the paint off the letters. Much easier than trying to individually mask off each letter.
Small update,
got a pretty neat looking replacement master brake cylinder from rock auto . Mazda no longer sells them with a new tank . And lets our kid our selfs the old yellow tank gotta go .
siphon out the old fluid. (Aged 24 year?)
Flushed the system with ATE fluid and installed 4
speed bleeders, SBG ss lines ,Powerslot rotors , stoptech/oem pads .
I see 99 spec bumper lights. Face lift in the near future?
haha thanks bud, one of the interior bit upgrade was from you
(picked up from you at sevenstock)
and yes good eye. A face lift is in the near future with a complete exterior overhaul . After im done with engine/power,
ill be putting the full conversion pics up soon . Just waiting on a few minor parts And 1 more key part to be made from shine .
Got me some oem head light lids at a steal price thanks to ebay 1 time coupon code.
annnnnnnnd a box of reall good goods . Finally...
also i may add i restored fate in fedex boxing skills once again
each item is double bubble wrapped and stuffed with shipping paper as separation. The part being shipped is heavy..has striaght edges and quite fragile if landed onto the right way .however, who ever wrapped these at fedex, thank you. You did a great job.
After all the hustle and shuffle with the suspension i finally got the FD aligned.. went with a the old school pettit alignment recommendation. Long track spec
And got to cross off a long time wanted item off my wish list .
Rotary Extreme V mount kit;D
Your build is impressive and that rear strut bar is awesome. Got to love brake fluid aged 24yrs (everything gets better with age right?) Keep up the great work.
