[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

Great job man - so educational for those in the audience that do their own mechanical work and yet need specialist help. Thanks for sharing!

[@Drivenbymadness]

Thank you very much Mr. Mazda! I do my best, because i know how much a good tutorial means to an owner :)

[@skylarflare3120]

This channel is awesome c:

[@Drivenbymadness]

So is this comment :D

[@DENetworkES]

Instead of replacing the brake calipers you could get a restoration kit, and replace all the seals. As for the pistons in the calipers you could take somewhere for ultrasonic cleaning

[@theusualshenanigans]

Enough rust to feed the whole village 😂👍🏻

[@dukedude220]

I love your videos and the quality, they’re very helpful. Keep it up!

[@michaelheuvelsland7572]

You are so funny and informative. Keep it up bro. I live watching your videos, time after time.

[@yuwish6320]

Working brakes; priority number 1. Good video.

[@giancarloacosta2655]

Hi, where did you get the parts from? I just want to make sure I get some reliable parts. Thank you so much for your awesome video :)

[@REVMedia]

Cool man been sub'd for a little while. Thank you for all the great maintenance videos you put out. We just received a 2004 RX8 as a project car for the channel and look forward to building it up and making it unique, your tips are definitely coming in handy. Keep up the great work👊

[@Drivenbymadness]

Awesome man, thanks! I'm super happy to hear that. I'll check it out to see what your guys are up to :) Cheers!

[@REVMedia]

Driven by madness sounds good man thanks! So far just brought it back from the dead (we got it not running) it was only flooded! As soon as I get working on it I'll let you know!

[@RX-8GT]

I can’t find that little spoiler anywhere online, been searching even before I got the car, I had a few things in line to do on car, put fan control kit.. waiting for it to get here today, three pod gauge.. done, level out coilovers.. done, paint calipers, done.. get passenger dash cover.. oh boy is that expensive (still looking) , waiting for R3 black with red stitching center console lids and handbrake and paint the wheels since they came all chipped and stuff but need new tires so I’ll wait until then

[@reginaldigweike4002]

Nice video, but front not detailed, do you know the function of the rubber over the lower caliper pin and should it move freely in and out?

[@EnzedDev]

have u seen the video about rx8s that car throttle posted? you should check it out!

[@Drivenbymadness]

Yup :D Just yesterday as i was uploading this video. Looks stunning. I really want to do a R3 front face conversion on my Rx8 :) Perhaps i'll do it this year.

[@RisenFlow]

Your rx8 is so beautiful!😍

[@Drivenbymadness]

Thank you very much! 😃🤗😃

[@gunfighterdrummer]

Kristian looking like about to drop a hit album!

[@Drivenbymadness]

gunfighterdrummer hahahhaha damn right son 😂😂😂😂

[@SnipingWithSkillz]

Is that how the handbrake works when the car is brand new? If so can a rebuild caliper give the same effect?

[@essexrotary1540]

Nice job Driven. When you need pads for your drift build hit us up. We stock drift specific brake pads

[@Drivenbymadness]

Essex Rotary thanks man! When ill start the second season of my drift build next year (with a bigger budget), ill be flooding you with orders 😉👌

[@benjaminsmith2058]

Can you add a link for the calipers you got?

[@gaborangyal338]

great vid as alwaays, know its a bit unrelatedd but im struggling to find the answer online...does all RX8 manuals have an LSD? even the 5 speed 191hp models too?

[@juicecaja]

Great video!!

[@Drivenbymadness]

Thanks man :D

[@ElRenesis]

Nice video man, I want to buy a RX8 here in Chile, but I dont have the money to repair or mantain properly the car

[@AceCobra1]

Do I need to put threadlock on those really long screws that connect the calipers to the brackets that hold the pads themselves ?

[@vietfattyxD]

AceCobra1 no need

[@armfield100]

What size are the front rotors 302mm or 322mm.

[@AceCobra1]

Do you have any tips on how to do brake bleeding on my own ? lol I believe it is normally a 2 man job

[@TheSoishiro19]

Former rear brake pads seems to be "EBC Redstuff", no? I had the same issue with mine, gone to dust... :( (and big thx for the videos :) )

[@sierra7908]

where did these calipers come from? i need them.

[@virtualtrider3707]

link to the callipers uk ? please!!

[@pedrosantiago8026]

What size rotors and brakes did you use

[@RHaney2012]

Anyone know where I can find 2-piece rotors for an 06 rx8 that is NOT racingbrake? I've heard nothing but failure problems from their 2-piece sets and they even told me it is not for track use. USA, please. I know you can find them across the water. But the US has stopped carrying them completely for the rx8.

[@nestorcan1277]

I have a question when you change the caliper you didn't show how to bleed the new caliper? How i do that?

[@Drivenbymadness]

I have a separate video for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZXXpqJ3Zpeoha8

[@C0Drop]

Nice, i wait for more... :)

[@Drivenbymadness]

December is Drift build month :D New episodes every 3 days 👌🤗

[@MrSaltwaterboy]

Does your rear brake rotors have screws that hold them in ?

[@Drivenbymadness]

No, only front ones have

[@MrSaltwaterboy]

@@Drivenbymadness cool appreciate you!! :)

[@AkinaGod]

What calipers did you use? And what were the rotors you used? I live in the US and I bought some centric rotors and they are awful. The slots are too wide and catch the pads. They recommend you bevel the pads, but then you notice stopping power drop. Just spent $1000 on new parts and already want new parts... >:O

[@Drivenbymadness]

I bought Mtec rotors. They are mazing and also offer coating in black,gold and silver to prevent rust. www.mtecbrakes.com/

[@Itskascade]

Do you reckon rx8 or 350z??

[@Drivenbymadness]

For power 305z, for handling Rx8 :)

[@Itskascade]

Nice thanks! I still love the idea of both so I've got a hard decision ahead :3

[@markbell5483]

Need help. I have the hardware but no sure how it goes on

[@markbell5483]

The metal clips I have an extra on for the fronts

[@Drivenbymadness]

@@markbell5483 All you need is 4 for each caliper (2 upper ones and 2 lower ones), how many you got?

[@markbell5483]

Driven by madness 6 , I have the upper and lowers then one small one

[@vidotti911]

Slovenian! Svaka cast hehe

[@MrPeeeetaa]

Nice

[@Drivenbymadness]

Thanks! :)

[@robertmontgomery7158]

Why not add stainless steel brake lines?

[@Drivenbymadness]

Robert Montgomery they are on my list :)

[@robertmontgomery7158]

Driven by madness Cool 😎

[@boomer5601]

That's look fantastic👍 do you have instagram?

[@Drivenbymadness]

Thanks man! Sure: dbmadness1

[@scottyoungstrom7079]

Why won't my 2004 rx8 accelerate over 4500 rpm?

[@She1lby]

Weared clutch?

[@Blaster_Bax]

To mijenjas kocnice da ne zavrsis u Hrvatskoj? 😂😂😂😂

[@Drivenbymadness]

Šta si i ti prebral ovo novico u časopisu? 😛😛
