    Came for the brakes and was pleasantly surprised by the new wheels and turn signals. Both look sick! Now we need an update video on brake/tire performance. A couple of pictures wouldn't hurt either 😉

    I watch Jay Leno garage and he swears by Wilwood brakes. I think you'll be happy with those. They look great! Love the "money shot". The 3D printing parts look great too.

    A wise choice for what it to come.
    Upgrading my bug to have rear disc's saved my life many years ago.
    I still remember the guy's look of terror in the rear view mirror sitting at road works as I came round the bend at high speed and slammed on the anchors.

      I only use my 4k sony A6400 for the CRX videos or videos i spend more time editing. The only thing different in this video i stopped using auto focus and i manually focused on everything i want to which i think makes the video look better because its always in focus. Some people complained about my auto focus jumping around before
