Mazda2 | Track brakes are on! | Front Brake Install How-To

[@SkibbidyYibbidy]

Treated myself to some Brembo discs and pads, this tutorial will really help thanks!

[@mjlr5734]

Which ones did you get man?

[@LiamDrives]

Great video man. I think my 2 will need a brake change soon!

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+LeadFootLiam Go for it! I like mine so far. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@mahabirsinghm]

Hi great videos. Can u tell me if these pads will work on the mazda demio as well? 2009 series

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+mahabirsinghm I don’t see why not. The 2/Demio were mechanically the same from 2007 until they went out of production.

[@mahabirsinghm]

Thanks bro. Can u give me specs on those pads so can order. In the Caribbean only getting the regular pads not ceramic

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+mahabirsinghm The part number should be in the video. 👍🏻

[@speedhead2k]

I see this is a year old but from what has happened to me, if it's a 1.3l Demio both the pads and shoes are smaller. Though never did sit down and try and find another car that uses same size stuff.

[@mjlr5734]

Thanks for this video! I'm looking at replacing my rotors because my current Mazda 2's rotors are warped. Are the rotors you used optimal only for track driving or are they fine for daily driving too?

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

There’s nothing special about the rotors I use. They’re good for everything. 👍🏻

[@DodgyPiano]

Great video! Thanks so much. Any idea of the torque setting for the caliper bracket bolts? I can't find it anywhere!

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

Good-n-tight has always worked for me. Don’t know the torque spec.

[@adamdolman7003]

Excellent video, thanks for the help!

[@speedhead2k]

Great vid. Question for you any chance do you know if the calipers for the the US 1.5 fit the Japanese 1.3. Demio?

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

I’m not 100% sure this is the case, but I see no reason why it’s not all interchangeable. You would of course need the 1.5 rotors and any other applicable hardware. If I had to guess, it’s as easy and unbolting and replacing with a full 1.5 setup.

[@speedhead2k]

@@HiroshimaSpirit thanks much. Will check out the costing to see.

[@mugglescience360]

I just changed out the brake fluid on my 2008 Mazda 2 yesterday! Quite a simple process to do yourself, however I feel I may have stripped a little bit of material from the bleeder valve as I managed to turn them the wrong way to loosen and they made a sort of cracking noise :/

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+Daniel Jenkins Ouch! Well, at least it wasn't a full on breakage. 👍🏻

[@mugglescience360]

No leaks so far and tested with a full 50mph emergency stop :)

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+Daniel Jenkins I'd call that good to go! Haha

[@franshuter8434]

Hello! I really like your videos, I also have a mazda 2 2010 , I wanted to ask you if u knew what kind of LED kit could i get for my mazda, for the headlights , tail lights and the fog lights , if u know anything about this please let me know , Im searching like crazy but im not sure which Kit i can buy for my mazda

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+FranShuter A company called Auxbeam makes plug and play LED headlight kits. You just have to select the kit meant to replace whatever the stock headlight size is. The fog and tail lights, however, I don't know about. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@franshuter8434]

thank you!! how can I figure out the size of the stock headlight?

[@franshuter8434]

thank U! how can i know the size of the stock headlight??

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+FranShuter Google should have you covered. 👍🏻

i use led headlights from auxbeam and for the headlights they are H4 and on the fog lights you have H11,if you still have stock headlights should be the same i have a mazda 2 2014

[@Giltine]

Hey Daedalus, I was wondering if you could do a wheel well of your cars? Thank you for the videos, it has inspired me to install new mods on my Mazda 2 as well!

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+Aarron S Do a wheel well? I'm not sure what you mean. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@ThePolarBearProductions]

Nice vid. I have the same color 2, mines a 2014. Runs like a dream. Needs new oil and Transmission Fluid. I’d do it myself but the TF replacement is a bitch and I lack proper tools. Keep up the good work!

[@pannolane]

just put the t fluid down the dip stick.

[@ThePolarBearProductions]

@@pannolane That’s what I did

[@nealshore212]

Hiya. Instead of a hammer or mallet and knocking the disc (rotor) off, use a small long screw bolt and fit that to the small hole on the front of the disk is there to pop the disk off. keep screwing it in and the disc comes straight off.

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

Sure, if you’ve got a bolt that fits. A rubber mallet or some light tapping with a hammer wrapped in cloth isn’t going to hurt the steel rotor and I guarantee it will come off in less time. And if you’re replacing the rotor, hit it with whatever you want. It’s going in the bin anyway.

[@whtrabt]

awesome video man. (should have added a disclaimer at the beginning saying make sure to wear gloves, then you could have shown the cut lol) did you look into the carbotech ax6 pads? had them on my na8 and we're amazing, will be looking at them for my 2.

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+that guy I didn't want that aggressive of a pad for a car that's not on a race track 99% of the time. I still want to hopefully daily this setup if the dust isn't as extreme as people say.

[@whtrabt]

DaedalusZero true, my na8 was a daily. it did save my life when someone cut me on an intersection turning left when I was going straight and they were the 1521 not ax6 keep forgetting I switched them before 949 shipped them to me. keep the videos coming. oh and the guy asking about wheel well I believe he is talking about thesmokingtire channel.

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+that guy Ah, more social media accounts I'll never use. I'll pass. lol

[@manuelrentas9818]

Hello.. just wanted to know where do you normally buy your parts? Local auto parts store or do you buy them online?.. I'm looking to buy brakes..spark plugs..rotors..air filter and oil.. I'm just a basic driver bone stock mazda 2.. just wanted to know which is a better route for me.. thanks anything will help

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+Manuel Rentas It depends on what the parts are. If it’s something regular like spark plugs or oil, you can get them over the counter at any parts store. If it’s a specialty or high performance part, it’s an online purchase. If you’re just daily driving and need to replace wear items, do your research and find the best parts you can for the lowest price. A good place to shop for OEM replacement parts at decent prices is rockauto.com. That’s where I typically buy replacement stuff from. 👍🏻

[@jojosalvador3911]

hi bro. Can you kindly share the part number of the Hawk brake pads?

[@Dr23rippa]

What about the rear brakes? Can you get disc for them I know they are drum breaks. Are they cheaper?

[@TimBambu.Racing]

You plan on putting in DOT 5 fluid?

[@TimBambu.Racing]

lol spoke too soon as I was writing it, heard the last 10 seconds of the video! 😂

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+TBRacing21 I already bled it with some ATE Typ200. I was gonna make a video, but it's information anybody can find, so I just got the project done.

[@TimBambu.Racing]

I need to do this as well. Will be ordering stuff tonight.

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+TBRacing21 Doeeeeeeeet. Can't wait to be at the track 3 deep. Mazda2 invasion is go!

[@michael.carrot]

Good stuff! :)

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+Cloverof4 Thanks, man! ✌🏻

[@michael.carrot]

Love that instaresponse! Haha! You're welcome dude, always enjoy the content. 727 subs, dude! It's been so cool to see you growing

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+Cloverof4 Dem pop-up notifications. 👀 Gotta stay connected! lol I appreciate it! I always say it, but I never imagined I'd get as far as I have making Mazda2 videos. It's awesome!

[@faiqhidayatsyam833]

How you clean disc brake

[@HiroshimaSpirit]

+Fa'iq Hidayat I don’t clean mine, so I couldn’t tell you. 😅
