I feel like saying Shaaaaaaaazaaaaam like Gomer Pyle 
Was getting the Fireturd that I bought for the 9" ready for the scrappers to come get it tomorrow and went to pull the front wheels. They are ugly, but figure I can get something out of them at least. I had the back wheels off already and found the fronts had locks on the caps and the first one was a real pain to get off without the key. I honestly thought about bagging it, after 30 mins the $$$ from selling the wheels didn't look so appealing. But I'm really glad I persisted.
Below is a pic of what I found behind the wheels. They are the same but older version of the 4 piston Superlites I have on my car.
The big brake upgrade for Daisy just got a lot cheaper

So these guys had enough money for Wilwood's, but not enough brains to build a proper torque arm?  |

Yeah...............that about sums it up. You should have seen the exhaust they welded up. Well....if you can call it welding.
I really can't figure why they put those calipers on with stock size rotors. I doubt they noticed much difference if any doing that. But...............not gonna complain. This deal just gets better and better. Especially tomorrow when the car goes bye bye. Just not into red trans ams like other people here
