In this thrilling episode of throtl, the guys embark on a mission to transform the FM3 into a true beast on the road. With the wheels, tires, and suspension already taken care of, it's time to tackle the next challenge. But first, they must give the car a thorough wash because, let's face it, a dirty car just won't do. With the FM3 gleaming in the sunlight, they unveil their secret weapon - the EPBC brakes.
These brakes are a sight to behold, with two-piece floating rotors and a six-piston caliper for the front wheels. The size and power of these brakes are truly remarkable, and the team can't help but admire them. They remove the old brakes and compare them to the new ones, noting the significant improvements in size and performance. The new rotors are thicker and wider, allowing for better ventilation and quicker cooling.
With the rear brakes successfully installed, it's time to move on to the front. The guys prep the calipers and pads, ensuring everything is in perfect order. They remove the heat shield, a necessary step in this process, and proceed with the installation. The new brakes fit like a glove, and the team is thrilled with the result. The FM3 now boasts an impressive set of EBC brakes that not only look incredible but also deliver unparalleled stopping power.
After bleeding the brake system and taking the car for a test drive, the guys are left in awe of the FM3's newfound braking capabilities. The car stops on a dime, leaving them exhilarated and hungry for more. They compare their build to a friend's M3, appreciating the different modifications and finding inspiration for future endeavors. The FM3 build is progressing beautifully, and with these EPBC brakes, the team is confident that they have taken the car to a whole new level of performance.
