Hey boys and girls

Just to let you know that the MRT Brake Master Cylinder stopper to my JDM BG5 TT.

Posted Image

It did foul on the Black Box, but nothing a little persuasion from a saw and some pliers couldn't fix!

The trickiest bit was actually mounting the red bracket onto the strut tower. The bolts MRT supplied were ****.

So Custom bolts had to be used.

Apart from the black box modifications, it all bolted in nicely!

Pics to come

Here's the low down on the mods required to fit it to a TT

Obviously, first, you need to get the bloody black box out of the way!!

Then to mod the black box. this is looking at it from the back inside:

Once all installed, it actually looks rather stealth. Perhaps I should of painted the whole lot black!

Notice any difference?

Just took it for a quick blat.... Its great! Improves pedal feel a great deal! Brake pedal is much firmer! Doesn't feel so spongy anymore! I recommend it!

Thanks Joe!

Nice one Alex. You should paint it gold to match the rest of your brake setup.

Have you got gold installed yet? I just scored a Cusco one for $50. You f**ken beaudy.

Nice one Alex. All those vacuum lines make baby Jesus cry. Also painting it black is a good idea.

That is a good looking Brake stopper.

Jovi - buy one and then comment! I wouldn't call it a waste of money. I think what it is, is that you install it, and quickly get used to the braking feel...

looking at this option a little as the only other is all in one cusco bracket.
black box sut up looks the same so was wondering just how much is involved in getting the black box
out ? or did you pull it aside just enough to work on ?
tell me you didn't have to remove all those vacum lines.
also are the mount holes already there on the chassis ?
roughly how long did you spend getting it done etc etc.
strange how MRT told me they sell the BCS for the genII cause getting it on the gen III
is supposed to be a PITA.
looks like a head case for both i reckon.
cheers cris

That setup is now redundant.

I'm now rockin' a Cusco strut brace with a built in MCS.

Old pic, so it doesn't look like this anymore, but I used this pic to illustrate the cusco brace, as in this pic, its still in its factory blue colour.
