standard brakes in Mx-3

I have this question about standard (crappy) Mx-3 brakes. I know that most of the braking power is on the front side, but I was wondering if it is normal for the rear pads to use about 60 % of the rotors' surface. What i mean is that front rotors are all polished, but the rear ones are polished in a...

Re: wat's the best way to do 0-100km/h?

well everything depends on your car. You should feel your car and know when is the best moment to switch gears, let go the clutch and so on.

I guess you are right guys... Anyway I am sick of being eaten by hondas and other cars. Mx-3 has the looks, unfortunately it doesn't have the "edge" in standard. Ad I have measured more or less my red rocket goes from 0-60 in about 9 seconds... This is much less then standard sedans these ...

I heard all this stuff that if you want to think about any changes, you make yourself KL-ZE engine. But...
