Who knows how to do the 3kGT brake upgrade. I know somebody has done it, and I would love to ask them how they did it.

i ordered acura tsx (mtx, same as newer TL's) rubber boots/sleves that go on the clutch and break pedals...
& they do fit on the pgt mtx pedals...
i bought my pedal assembly used from a part out and the rubber on them were torn and worn so i looked to get replacements and dont like metal ones(b/c they tend to be to slick) so i test fitted the TSX ones and they wrapped around fine...
+ i like the rubber design a bit more...
not sure how much they will cost at retail (i got them at employee price for $3 a peice)
figured id throw that out as replacement option...

There were some toyota pedal rubbers ones that looked like they'd fit, but I never tried....
Anyways the non abs 93-02 and 98-02 626 abs rear hub assemblies fit the 2nd gen abs probes (cheaper). The old sensor ring knocks off and when heated up slip right back on without any pressing.... I think kia front strut mounts may fit also, I should know in a few weeks.......93 gt

Porsche calipers and 13 inch rotors
Cobra 13 inch vented rotors will fit 2nd Gen PGTs with minor modification. Centric hole needs to be opened just a small amount. Bolt pattern is the same. Porsche Brembo Monoblock Radial Mount caliper can be very easily adapted to match on the PGT. With this setup though you need some very big rims. 19 inch rims will fit with stock struts and springs and same diameter tires. 20 inch may fit but havent tried. Haven't tried them yet but it looks like the OEM RX7 stainless brake lines are a direct swap. Will have to verify it later on.Last edited by KLZE Porsche; February 21, 2007, 08:22 PM.Success is a measure of determination!

Hm, interesting thread. I am sure if this was in the performance or maintanence sections there would be more replies and therefore more cross pollination options. Maybe if 2g and 1g specific performance and non-performance threads were created within their respected realms it would abide with the rules in place for creation of a thread. What does everyone think?
Forgot to mention. Something to add to thread. Someone on mx6.com found that the Mazda MPV 2 pot calipers may fit with no or little modification. I was reading the thread at work so I do not remember it so clearly. But another brake option for the Probe.
Mid 90s Subaru Legacy 2 pot calipers fit on the 1g with no modification. Just need to use the stock 1g caliper bracket and place the Subby caliper on the slider pins.
323 GTX gears apparantley fit in the 2g tranny case as well.
Also forgot to mention the many engine internal pieces 2g guys are coming up with now. 300ZX pistons, Ford 302 rods, someother piston(forgot which one I think RSX one??), etc..Last edited by Stevoh; March 2, 2007, 12:02 AM.Chameleon Blue 95 PGT 5 Speed

This thread should be very easy to locate because it may be the one that keeps our cars alive. We need new innovation to breath new life into them and since there isn't much offered from the aftermarket then we must rely on what people are able to find in our local junkyards that is plug and play or requires very little modification.
Also, how come we are not allowed to have threads like this in their respected sections?Chameleon Blue 95 PGT 5 Speed
