To go fast you've gotta be able to brake fast.
Zach gives you the low down on what matters when picking out a new set of brakes.
Check out the brakes we used from Flyin' Miata here: rb.gy/wvqfaw

Sidenote:clean your wheel hub when replacing rotors, the tend to build upp rust and shit you dont want clearly seen at 8:25. If not done, over time the hub gets uneven and warps the rotors faster. Love the moneypit series!
I always thought it was farthest first and then closest
Put a piece of cardboard down. Makes sliding around under the car much easier.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
He does a good Jobe of explaining hehe ;)
Also no mentioning of carbon fiber ceramic pads and rotors plus I wouldn’t recommend two different set of pads the rotors and pad get seated and will most likely give pad slap when you switch pads
That transition at 10:40 is way overlooked
i went to insta, found someone talking about this channel, came here, left with a severe addiction to jdm’s and losing my money
8:05 ‘your mom’😂😂😂
Why worry with the rear brakes? 🤔
Once a year. :o I just flush out a small bottles worth when i do brake job.
That's all I need my brakes to work. Enough. No more no less
Wheres the Money Pit sticker Pack????
"your mom" in the unsprung weight list, unreal
Jobes knowledge is lush . smart sir indeed
Our Skoda Suberb has +150HP and stock brakes. On the racetrack you cant even drive a hard round.
Currently upgrading my 4th gen Camaro to the CTS-V 6 piston calipers. They require an 18" wheel. I'm waiting for the second rotor to show up. They forgot to pack it. Can't wait!!!
Honest question: Why aren't rims shaped like a ventilator? If the rim was sucking air from inside out, they would indeed cause a bit more air resistance and unsprung weight, but they should be really help to cool the brakes + technically provide extra drag (by reducing the air pressure under the car on high speeds).
Bro, like 9 and half minutes in, he yelled from a sneeze and its had me busting up for a while now. Like, why did you yell like that? Lol
You should always sand down the face of the hub before you place the new rotors on, it helps make a flatter surface.
Hi, I am having an issue with my Honda Civic 2004 ES On smooth surface my brakes work perfectly, but as soon as I hit an uneven surface while braking, the brake's pedal gets harder, starts blocking and shaking. I am still wondering what is the issue with that. Can I get an advice about the issue please?
I leave this under every video I watched, it helps the algorithm.
Great video, but you also need to match the upgraded brakes with upgraded performance tires. Great video and keep up the good work
Rest of the world: Dude pigeons are very annoying and poop on our cars! L.A.: Same but it's parrots😂😂😂
The sordid deposit genetically fix because horn thankfully knock lest a educated help. adamant, tired bankbook
Is that a custom hat?
Are you going to add 4 wheel steering to the Miata?
Man if everyone changed their fluids on time like they actually should, their cars would last so much longer....but most people dont
What if you never change the fluid on your brakes
MY MOM?
I would have to say that hitting a car on stands with a hammer and to check if it's stable first is probably not a bad idea, but checking the car first thing before doing a single thing once it was up on stands would be a better practice. Especially before removing the tires!! If it was not supported correct and it did happen to fall, you want those tires there to catch it!! So do your wiggle test first thing and whenever you see fit to really. But that first one is most important..
0:11 xx
WHERE'S THE GUY 2 YEARS AGO?🤔🤔🤔
Cave climbing is one thing, you feel safe knowing that you won’t be crushed. Getting under a car with nothing, but some little metal stands really puts me on edge!
I kinda wanna see air brakes on something this small. They’ll send you so far through the windshield
How would that happen?
Tires make a night and day difference when braking for damn sure
Please do an off road section to donut media!.. I think you guys would kill it in that section as well
i bought a sticker already
whats the silver tank between the seats dont think theres an episode that shows that install
am i the only one who wonders if donut doesnt pay zach, but instead just sends him all the highest quality parts for free and in return he makes a banger video for them..?
NADC taught me 30/30/30
Fighting yourself not turning the wheel to install the fronts
fastest stop: sideways. even faster: wall
Any change in stopping distance?
@Jana Kakašová higher coefficients would increase the stopping power with the same amount of pedal effort but the amount of stopping power you can actually apply wouldn't change. The brakes are strong enough to overpower traction and lock up the wheels, stronger brakes won't change that. Higher quality and performance brakes wear slower, create less dust and noise, and handle heat better. The only thing you can do to decrease stopping distance is to get better tires or make the vehicle lighter.
@Redtooth 75 I thought about another pads with higher coefficient of friction....
Stopping distance is limited by traction, not braking power. Unless the brakes are overheated.
@Donutmedia You know you live in Cali when you leave the door open an have a fat PHX bong sittin on the kitchen counter all non-chulant, and judging from the sound of those goddam plague-like parrots that have taken over the skies like a virus and how his neighborhood looks I'd say an LA beach city, maybe Venice Beach? Redondo? It doesn't look like Newport or Huntington, it def must be somewhere north of Long beach; ami right??? Sometimes i forget why I LOVE LIVIN IN LA!!!
They should seriously make a money pit sticker
Get your fingers off the friction surface of the pads. The pads and rotors need to absolutely free of oil, grease, or dirt.
its good to get if you want to convert from drums
Is it me or did this dude cry about his eyes not being blue enough?
You know what’s adding unsprung weight to your car?.......your mom 🤚🏽
big boi brake and smol boi brake
You bled them incorrectly. You bleed furthest to closest, not closest to furthest from the master.
Unsprung weight: Your mom
Zach please wear some eye protection bro
all this process and new parts for your old tired car..just great but need money man)even from the money pit advice list..keep up Zach!!
I know you want a new shop.... but watching you do this all in your driveway makes the show so much better, and more realistic for us "do it yourself'ers". Awesome show.
It’s funny how his family motto is “if it’s not done twice, it’s not done right” when dad always says “you know what I hate more than doing something once? Doing it twice”
I would love to see you do a episodes of 2008 Hyundai Elantra
On that type of parking brake it helps a whole lot if you apply regular brakes while setting parking brake
Isn't that a miata club sticker
@16:00 "Until you're only getting CLEAN fluid out, no air" ;)
“Your mom” caught me way off guard 😂
Wilewood, very good
8:08 what did you just say about my mom? She is supported by the springs 😡 She just isn’t payed Child support by my father
So dig everything so far...but missed opportunity to explain having a clean and flat surface for the "hat" (center section) to mate flush. This keeps pulsation down and ensures smooth engagement. It's a bigger deal in rustier locations. However, still important. Side note...cams and tune before boost. Personal opinion and choice.
You Guys Rock!!!!!!!!!
how much costs the whole thangg
8:03 “your mom” lmao
You know what is worth it? spray painting your brake calipers red.
"Does more expensive mean more better?" Wait, wrong show...
Dude when are you gonna do some on the s14
peep the cougar 18:05
The Miata has become a science experiment.
who’s e36👀
Before installing new rotors, clean the rust!!!
I did not realize but I was watching science garage since the torque converter and did not pay attention to the channel and when I saw it was made by donut I was mindblown
Two piece rotors 👍 Non floating 🤦♀️
I like big brakes and I can not lie. you other brothers can't deny.........
umm, is that how good stock brakes should be? Hahah mine are horrendous. Think I need new rotors
That miata has so much mods to it, it should be in a fast and furious movie
4:45 anyone else’s mind went to a dirty place...
Yur nose is durty, bro
4 milli yee yee!!!
brake fluid has to be changed once a year ? damn, I don't remember reading that in my user's manual
Hate loctited bolts!!🤬
Do you need to swap the brake booster for this to work more efficiently
two statements "if you can lock up the breaks you don't really need brakes" (paraphrased). "when you seen a guy with big breaks, you know he knows what's up"........ ??????????
Damn ive missed this show
hi donut
Ive been watching forever idk HOW I wasn’t subbed
For basic car maintenance how often would you suggest replacing the brake pads and when to know when you replace brake pads or whole rotors and everything??
Every time he switches the parts he never talks about the weight difference
my parents wont let me "waste my money on a pos miata" so i gotta wait a couple months till Im 18 so I can finally buy one
Money Pit is such a great show, I've learned so much during this series already and hope that it will continue after the Miata is done!
Anyone know if there's any pros or cons to swapping a 99 Dodge ram 2wd drum breaks to pad breaks?
favorite show on donut by far keep it up boys
Miata slowly becoming a beast
But the cost, those are like 2500$ kit if not more
My family’s motto is “do it right the first fucking time dumb ass”
Unsprung weight: ur mom! Lol classic
