Its brake ugrade time. With the extra power the 13B Rotary puts out, the standard RX3 front brake rotors and callipers wer not quite up to the job. These are Volvo 4 pot callipers and 260mm rotors (not sure of thier origin but they could be early Commodore ?)

This pic is the standard RX3/808 brakes

Before I put them on good mate Dave (RX3 Sleeper) gave the callipers a rebuild with new seals etc.

And here they are on the car. There is a big difference in the braking ability now. Although it still needs a bit of adjustment as the back brakes are slightly out braking the fronts.
