brake ducts & braking.....

[jungle]

I am running 15*7 Team Dynamics......I did some testing w/ Andrew-Racing, and thus far, even w/ hawk blues in the rear the fronts are still the 1st to lock up. I know this flies in the face of conventional Neon wisedom...but what can I tell ya? Maybe my car has weaker than normal rears?


BTW....Do I get the metal or phenolic calipers? I know the phenolic rings will deteriate, but the metal ones will heat up faster. I do have a sheet of 1/8" Phenolic material....I was debating about making a plate of it the shape of the brake pad to use as a heat sheild....what do you guys think of that? I don't currently have access to someone you can make titanium heat sheilds.

I had a buddy of mine fab up some stuff......he basically made a dust sheild w/ a hose attachment...we were able to clear 2" hoses. We did utilize the factory fog light holes, which isn't the best high pressure area to draw from but.....I will try to post pics later.

I did have the rotors measured at 525 degrees after a 20 min. sprint race, and a heat sensitive sticker on the outside of the caliper did trip at 340.

I also have another buddy making me some titanium backing plates to go between the pad & caliper. There will be left over Ti., if anyone wanted to buy a set.



Yes..that is Great stuff in the fog light holes holding in the tubes and forming the funnel!

What color stripe do you have on the rear priportioning valves?? The rear drums vs rear disc use different valves at the master cylinder. Since the PO replaced the m/c, he may have used the wrong ones. Drums are gold & discs are black (I think).
