Just a heads up for the NSX owners. I have these brakes for sale in the classified section.

The pictures show them with the ITR hubs and brackets, but I also have the NSX hubs and brackets.

Thanks!
Mike

 

RealTime is using 14" Alcon rotors on their NSX race car, not the rotors you are selling.

 

Not on their R's.

Mike

 

Well then post in in the R forum and say "Just a heads up for the R owners..."

Easy there big guy. I did post in the R forums, but I also posted here since I have the brackets and hats for the NSX too. This is the Comptech kit that they sell for 4K. It just so happens that Realtime used a similar set-up on their R's when Comptech use to work with them, hence the reference in the ad.

I just thought that the NSX guys might be interested in a good deal on some nice brakes.

And I just thought people would be interested to know that RealTime is not using that setup on their race NSX despite the implication of your ad.

That is NOT the kit Comptech sells. Their $4k NSX front Brembo brake kit uses 12.4" Brembo rotors that will fit under the NSX stock 16" front wheels without spacers. If you use 13" Brembo rotors as listed in your ad, the stock wheels won't clear the brakes. See http://solar.innercite.com/comptech/420100.html for the details on the Comptech kit.

 

Close, but no cigar there Chief. I in no way implied that Realtime was using these brakes on their NSX's. That was just your assumption. In fact, I don't even mention specifically which car in the ad. They do, or at least did for a couple seasons, use this same caliper and bracket with a custom rotor on their R's however. Since most folks I know are familiar with the Realtime R's and their brakes, it made sense to me to mention the connection. Trust me, I spent plenty of time around those cars when Realtime was working out of the Comptech shop.

And this IS the kit that Comptech sells, just not the one you linked to. It's the front half of the full 13" upgrade which does require after-market wheels. Here's is the correct link http://solar.innercite.com/comptech/420110.html .

 

Gee, I don't know WHAT I was thinking... since this thread is in the NSX forum, specifically says it is for NSX owners, and has a title of "Brembo/Realtime Racing brakes". Yeah, I must have just come up with that from nowhere. Nice Bill Clinton style weasle at the end there, too. At first I thought you were just misinformed, but now I wonder if you were really trying to scam people.

BZZZT! Wrong! Try again. Your link is to their 4-wheel kit w/ e-brake that retails for $9.5k.

You are selling a FRONT-ONLY kit and you specifically said "This is the Comptech kit that they sell for 4k"!

The front-only $4k Comptech/Brembo NSX front brake kit uses 12.4" rotors.

So you are really selling NEITHER Comptech/Brembo NSX kit. I would say your kit is closest to their $4k front brake kit with different rotors that will not fit under OEM wheels like the Comptech kit.

So either do your research before making claims or stick to the R forums where you might know what you are talking about.

 

Wow, now I really like that reply. You're ignorance, arrogance, and third grade comprehension level coming shining through! I'll say this all very slow so you don't miss anything again.

This thread is in the NSX/S2000 forum. Since I don't know for sure if these brakes will work with properly on an S2000 (even though the bolt pattern is the same), I said this was a heads up for NSX owners. As I mention in the ad, I have both the Integra brackets and hats, which is what I used on my car, and the NSX brackets and hats that came with the kit.

The fact that you can't comprehend that Realtime races anything other than NSX's does speak volumes to your mental acuity, so I guess I should have taken that into consideration.

You might want to think before you try to comment on either my information or my integrity. Oops, I just said you have to think, I guess that is a problem for you. Try this instead. Call Comptech, talk to Bob, or Joe, or Shad, or even Doug or Don, the owners, and ask them about whom I am and what it is exactly I am selling.

If you could actually comprehend what I wrote previously, you would understand that I said this is for the front only, with the same 13" rotors that come in the 4 wheel kit upgrade. Here's the quote for you so don't have to strain:

So you see the link is in fact correct. I quoted the 4K price before because if you want to get just the fronts, as I'm selling them, the price would be 4K. The same as the 12.4" kit. There's no difference in price for the larger rotor. You even say it yourself:

You seem to be hung up on this OEM wheel thing, so let me just say that I'm sorry if I didn't explicitly mention that this will not fit under a stock 16" NSX rim. This is a pretty serious upgrade, so I made the mistake of assuming that the people who might be interested in it would have the mental wherewithal to understand that they would require special wheel fitment.

If you are interested in buying the brakes, let me know, otherwise let me leave you with this lovely parting gift.

 

Ah yes, the personal attack.... Always there like a good friend when you run out of substantive points.

Tell me again, what does your kit have in common with the RealTime NSX or S2000? Wait, there is no RealTime S2000. So tell me what it has in common with the RealTime NSX braking system? One pair of calipers and the fact that the rotors are round?

Why do I care who you are? It has no bearing on the discussion.

As for what you are selling, I don't think there is any question about that - you seemed to make it quite clear exactly what parts you are selling in the message you linked to above. It appears to be good equipment in good condition. The only question is your implication about the applications for the kit in the context of this forum. If I thought there was anything wrong with the actual parts, I would have replied to your main ad.

You are right, there is no difference in price, but there is a difference in application. Your statement that "This is the Comptech kit that they sell for 4k" which is simply wrong as relates to the NSX. I corrected you on it and you got all bitchy.

Well, let's see. You post in the NSX/S2000 forum that "This is the Comptech kit that they sell for 4k". People look at the CT website and see the $4k NSX brake kit that specifically mentions it works with OEM 16" front wheels. Yet THEY are the ones who lack the "mental fortitude" to somehow intuitively know that what you are selling will in fact NOT work with the OEM wheels. Nice chain of logic.


I don't see why you got so pissy with your "Chiefs" and "Buddys" when all I did was point out the facts about these parts as relates to the NSX, here in the NSX forum of all places, so someone buying it knows exactly what they are getting and how it will work for their NSX application. Christ, what WAS I thinking? You can call me whatever names you please if it makes you feel better. I'll sleep just fine. In any event, the relevant information as relates to NSXs has been been clearly presented, so I am done.
