Brembo teaser - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Just found this close-up of the rear in the archives...must have left it out because of the rain, but it creates a neat effect, I think.

Nuke.

your car = the hottness

any problems/issues/complaints with your suspension and brake set-up ever?

NukeSubLDO · 05-01-2006, 06:09 PM

Thanks for the comment.

The brakes make a little noise, but that's probably due to lots more force/surface area. The front right tire rubs the inner (plastic) wheel well slightly when the wheel is hard over left. No problem on the left though. My MAF/Air Filter are right behind where the contact is so I have to be careful when I beat it in 'a little'.

The car is a joy to drive. Handles great, though a completely different feel from stock. Near supercar performance with a blue oval to boot. My son's '67 coupe still gets all the attention though....I think I have to put flames on the Mach or something to get someone to pay attention to it in the garage.

Cheers, Nuke

Looks great. What size rotors do you have in the rear? They look like 13"?!?

NukeSubLDO · 05-02-2006, 12:27 AM

Horseplay,

The fronts are 14" and the rears are 13". Both have progressive 4 piston calipers.

Nuke.

Very clean and mean look! Do you know if the rear kit (13") will fit behind a 17" FR500 wheel for the front?
Also- I saw that you're in Bremerton. My Father use to be stationed there back in the 60s. We were actually just up at Illahee park fishing a couple weeks ago- Very Beautiful (and wet) area!
