Drumnerd, did you buy your clutch on ebay? If so, what seller did you use?

They weren't invented when I was a kid.

Once your past 40yrs old, brakes become less of an issue. More important to know where you're going and where the closest rest rooms are, as opposed to how fast you get there.

LOL I'm 48 & must not have got the Memo. But I have figured out how to slow down enough to avoid the Highway Patrol. :thumbs_up:

Lol im not that old yet but not that young anymore either.

i like my Capri swap.... not unbalanced at all, infact the car squats under braking... granted, i've gone over my drums with a fine tooth comb...

If you decide to go aspire brakes, you'll ask yourself why you waited so long to do the swap, night and day difference

But still nice progress :thumbright:

Re: My n/a super b3 build

Ok well will definitely be a consideration if the stock brakes aren't good enough, but for now they are on and will see how they perform.

I agree, the Aspire brakes are well worth the effort, and I have personally saved my own car from a few accidents between the Aspire swap and the velcro-like grab that a set of 195/45R14 Toyo Proxes T1-R's will give you! I fear for the lives of the auto Festy drivers, who haven't got even the braking ability that the manual trans-assisted drivers have.

LOL You make a great argument bro (the best I've ever seen on this forum for keeping stock brakes). Especially considering you found the sliders tubes bound up.But I've found that once the Cadmium coating is gone from them they do it much quicker now. You can purchase just the tubes and rubber bellows if you want (Rock Auto etc).
Here's my very technical argument for swapping to Aspire breaks.. . My 20 year son drives a stock festy,and the first time he test drove my ATX Aspire he came back with a big smile on his face and said "HOLY BRAKES BATMAN". :salute:

[drumnerd33]

I definitely do not disagree, and i see your point with the unbalanced. But i have had these same wheels and tires for the last 20,000 miles driving 80+ mph on the highway to go to work and in stop and go traffic and did not have 1 single issue with stopping power plus in doing my new brakes i saw the rotors were out of spec, and the sliders for the caliper were completely seized, so now with brakes working properly they will be even better.... once i get this thing going and broke in and can have some fun, then ill see how the brakes feel, i am a stickler for good brakes also, my xj had horrible brakes with my 35s so i did a rear disc swap that helped a ton but i still want more because when im rock crawling in low gear my brakes arent strong enough and i have to throw it into neutral to stop on some extreme spots when your teetering...thats not too fun kinda makes you pucker up:nightmare: so now i am upping the booster to a dual diaphram out of the newer xjs and that will give me super brakes. Anyways went a little off track here i love good brakes but the stock festy didnt seem bad at all so we will see, if they are not up to par then i will just have to get new wheels and do the aspire swap.
