In this thrilling episode of Rob Dahm's automotive adventures, we witness the arrival of a groundbreaking brake system from Wilwood. Not content with their already impressive setup, Rob and his team dive headfirst into the world of custom adapters for the rear brakes, bidding farewell to the stock RX7 brakes. The excitement is palpable as they prepare to test Wilwood's XR brake fluid and other cutting-edge products unveiled at SEMA. The new brakes boast a lighter build, specialized coating, and a free-floating design that promises unmatched performance on the track.
As the modifications progress, Rob delves into the intricate process of integrating brake caliper brackets into the rear hub, ensuring stability and precision in every weld. Meanwhile, he takes a moment to highlight the importance of home security with Simply Safe, a comprehensive system offering peace of mind through advanced sensors and monitoring capabilities. Shifting gears, Rob shifts his focus to the suspension, where he meticulously fine-tunes control arms and bearings for optimal handling and responsiveness on the road.
With a keen eye for detail, Rob walks us through the meticulous welding process involved in reinforcing the control arms, a critical step in enhancing the vehicle's overall performance. Triangulation and stability take center stage as Rob showcases his expertise in aligning and welding the modified components to perfection. The precision and dedication displayed in each weld underscore Rob's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering, resulting in a suspension system that promises unparalleled agility and control on the track.
