|
|
So, I'm gauging interest in the front brake setup off a zo6. It'd have everything but hubs and brackets. The fancy red calipers, 13" rotors, almost brand new raybestos ceramic pads, clips, and abutment brackets.
Anyone interested for when I take these off my car? _________________

You need adaptors I think. Look on frrax lots of guys have done the C5 upgrade. I think there is someone on frrax that even sells the brackets.

| They were doing a GP on them not long ago, you still may be able to get in on it. IIRC LG-Motorsports also makes them. |

I'd assume different calipers, but I doubt they differ in anything but mounting and design. Still just a dual piston thing.

I think you should be more concerned with making your car GO faster than STOP Faster  _________________

It's faster than yours, right?
I'm not dumping any more money into this old sbc, or any gen I for that matter. Piecing together LSx crap. Although I can never have only one project going at a time.
Bigger brakes and ABS are on the agenda for now though. |

Yes, but right now a high mileage Volkswagen Bus is faster than it.
If the motor does have bottom end problems, it might be a few Months before any progress is made on it.
It'd be awesome to see someone in the crew with a Gen III or Gen IV small block in there car.
keep us posted. _________________

Speaking of vdubs, there's a guy that comes into my work that's a porsche fanatic. He's got a bunch of old 914s, 924s, 928s and a vanagon camper special (ya know, with sink, stove, bed, etc,) with a 2.7 carrera engine in it. Fricken awesome sleeper! |

You mean the wheels? Not the 17s but I'm running four rears right now; all 18's
But I might be picking up a set of staggered (18/19) c6 gunmetal 5 spokes for cheap.
I've come across so many vette wheels lately. I'm holding a set of c5 ZO6 wheels for John (RSfreak), the wagons on the car, the c6's. Damn. |
