Saw one, wanted one, got one.

Hi All,
After very little thinking time between seeing an RCZ and acquiring one I am pleased to say is the best fun in a car I've had since my mk1 MR2. After reading a couple of reviews and speaking to a tuning Centre I opted for the diesel version. Whilst happy with most of its looks I do not think the calipers do the wheels justice and so I've decided to give them a red face lift. I though today would be a good time to start but sadly I fell at the first hurdle. For all my searching on the net I can find no information on how to remove the calipers. I was starting with the front ones but I would have moved to the back if I had hit upon a guide of how to go about it. After more searching on the net I happened to link to this forum and thought if I'm going to get advise anywhere it will be here. So my first request as a newbie is to ask if anyone can point me in the direction of details for caliper removal to the point of being able to place the pads out of the reach of the paint.
Thanks for your assistance.

Hi and welcome :greetings-wavingblue:

one of our moderators has the same car and he has done a fine job on his calipers so i'm sure he'll be along momentarily to advise you!

meanwhile, any photos of the car or even the mk1 mr2??? Always liked the mr2 :thumbup:

I'm sure you'd struggle to find one that isn't...

The title of this thread pretty much describes how my introduction to the RCZ went too (much quicker than I anticipated). Welcome and enjoy!

Congratulations and Welcome!
