        I have never seen a car with the 4 pot calipers on it before. I saw the parts in the Mazda parts manual and would sell a kidney to have them.

        Just exactly how rare are those hubs and calipers? Is there any realistic chance I could ever get my hands on a car that has them?

          Unobtanium. There's about 20 sets of eyes out there, that have been treasure hunting for years.

            Yeah.. I bet terry's estimate is well under the number of eyes looking for half the crap that car has.

              Try finding the guy on the yahoo forum, who bought the container of Group N / Group A parts from Sweden.

              Oh wait, nobody on this forum goes there.

                Its been a while since I last posted, They say that time gos fast when you are haveing fun, i tell you it gos a lot quicker when you are haveing a real crap time aswel

                Ive just had a crappie few months, the firm i work for lost its biggest contract so all the overtime has gone and just been keeping things going money wise so the mazda has got no farther along with its rebuild, then out of the blue we get a call from my mum saying shes got Bowel Cancer but should be a good chance after an operation and radiotheripy of getting back to good health, Sadly this never happened.......................................... ..This was 3 months ago, we laid her to rest yesterday morning.

                Make the most out of your time with your folks, I just wish i could of had longer

                      Sorry about your loss man.

                      Back on topic, I'm pretty sure those are FC rx7 calipers. I've seen a few rally cars with them swapped on in the research that I've been doing, but I haven't found any write-ups on how the swap is done.

                        It is very sad to hear about your mother. I am very close with my mother and I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. I'm going to give my mom a big hug this weekend mate.




                        They are the same caliper I believe but they are built for the BF ralley cars. Here's a picture from the BF ralley catalogue. They go along with 5 lug hubs and rotors in a more typical configuration than the BF GTX...

                          Thanks for the thoughts

                          I think you are correct, not to sure if the model is the FC rx7 as I am not to sure of the models, but they are the same as the early rx's. The only differance is that the rear 4pots on the rally car are a differant part number, this is because it has slightly smaller pistons in the caliper. Since owning the car i have brought and imported from you side of the pond 2 sets of the rx7 4pots as spares for the car as we cant seem to get them over here unless you pay silly money.

                          I have know idear how the would fit onto the standerd hubs as my car has the rally hubs, the other problem would be finding a set of wheels that they would fit as the Enki's were made just to fit this set up.

                            Awesome car!
                            I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
