March 31, 2007 - A similar big brake kit is used on the front.
There's a significant weight advantage and the Wilwood calipers make it really easy to change pads.
Hidden behind the rotor is the 44-tooth sensor for the ABS. If we can find enough technical information, we'll use this as a sensor for the Coralba rally computer. Coralba is not being helpful at all - we know exactly what the ABS signal looks like, but they won't tell us the required signal for the computer. Instead, we're told to buy expensive peripherals and patch them into the car instead of using the sensors that Mazda spent a lot of money developing. I want to just plug this one in, figuring that there's not a lot of variation in hall-effect sensors. Eric's not so sure, probably because he's the one who gets to use the computer! If anyone out there knows what sort of voltage range is acceptable as an input for a C-Giant rally computer, let us know!
