Your brakes fade. you might want to check your system or bleed it or something.. The brakes on my 323 .. literaly will throw me and the passengers out our seats. The seat belts basically hold us in place ..

DRUMS kick major ***... I can lock up my rear brakes and spin the car around ...

normal driving the brakes are fine, but i have this little run through a twisty street and at the end they'll usually be getting soft. i see speeds up to 140kph (80mph?) on this little run. It lasts for about 5 or so minutes of hard driving.

its my 3 in the morning run when no one is around.

 

I hope your just joking.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you own a Protege5 not too long ago?

 

Just replaced the pads and fuild... I get brake fade when I'm stopping hard from moderate speeds....

I'm assuming it has to be the wheels/tires, because it used to stop great with the 13s... ahhh well

 

Same trouble here, but it only start after two or three race, the part where you have to brake for 230kph to 100 cause you think there's a cop ahead and anyway the guy is about one kilometer behind you and i have four disc brake.

 

If the MSP is not meant to be fast, why the hell did they turbo it? Certainly not for fuel economy. Maybe im the Dumbed **** here, but I dont think the turbo will make it handle better.

 

I kno this is a dumb Question but do anyone have a pic of the 323?

 

the reason is just because the Taxation for Japanese import cars changed. To stay competitive they had to lift their foot off the HP pedal.

 

Well the speed isn't produce by mazda, it a joint venture with two other compagnie that may explane a good part of it

 

To bring it to "average" levels.

 

that's due to the brake lines being heat soaked and just bulging when you apply the brakes. Put in some SSB brake lines. If you still have fade, then you need to opt to pay a little more for better brake pads.

 

Yeah, I did have a Protege5 till July. Also, I was joking.
