So on 1/11, they reported that the cutting process was about to begin. Now, almost a month later they just reported getting some materials and are about to begin manufacturing. Basically, there was no progress for a month. I misunderstood what they meant by cutting. Those were the models. Testers. They tested for clearances with plastic cut models. Also they are perfectionists there...and this is why its taking longer. This is indeed good and bad... Attachment 236624

I just hope they'll provide spare parts (i.e. rotors) quickly/immediately in the future because if not actually this will be a not so good deal.
I hope they planned at least a 5 years support for spares. Sorry but presently some doubt is raising... Bye I know everyone is waiting and its tough...I will be asking to see if they can do anything for us to speed things up. |
Mars is comming up soon and I need to start working on my car soon.
Any real ETA? |

(11:28:35 AM) girodisc martin: well (11:28:55 AM) girodisc martin: we had one hat that the needle didn't move :-) (11:29:04 AM) girodisc martin: but these are damn good (11:29:22 AM) girodisc martin: they are small in diameter, and have some section to them, so that helps (11:30:13 AM) girodisc martin: the big hats for 15 and 16" rotors are harder for sure (11:30:25 AM) girodisc martin: we are happy to see .0005-.0007" with those (11:33:13 AM) Adam K: I love the precision and craftsmanship sir! (11:33:17 AM) Adam K: keep up the good work! (11:33:33 AM) girodisc martin: we try :-D Attachment 236555 Attachment 236556 |

Hi Adam, if you can pass this post along to Girodisc to make sure that they don't make the same mistake, it would be great. https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...8&postcount=80 Thanks.

but I will pass it along. -Adam |
Straight from Girodisc:
Adam, Martin took a look at those, he said those rotors were actually made in Taiwan. He said he’s aware of that issue and that our rotors will have no issues clearing the calipers. Thanks for the heads up though, it is much appreciated! Jess Kenoyer 1971 Midway Lane, suite G Bellingham, WA US 360.306.3263 |
They even know where the competitors manufacture their products...
The wait is suddenly waaay less annoying! |

and my rex needs new brake disc's, my stock disc's is totally worn out and even have some small cracks... they have lived since 2004 and 3 seasons with track duty. I give the stock brakes A+ on the RX-8. But these girodisc looks soo nice and light weight! |
Adam returns from Vaca tomm, and he will be more than happy to update you guys :)

Looking forward! =)
And a reminder, dont forget to send my Hawk DTC60 pads together with my girodisc. (I never got an updated invoice showing my prepaid pads) |

(I never got an updated invoice showing my prepaid pads) Your pads are already at GiroDisc waiting the completion so they can be put in the box with the rotors once shipped. Hey guys I am back. I will shoot over an inquery to see if we can get a possible ship date. |
Sweet!
