Sweetness: Big Brakes? Oh yes!
Monday, June 16, 2008 9:46 AM
It's been a little while since I updated... the car has seen a lot of changes in the last 6 weeks or so, even though from a glance it doesn't look like it.

I attempted to roll the fenders myself... huge mistake on the rear fenders. I rumpled them to shiznat and had to have them straightened, welded underneath and repainted. Good thing I rolled them because with the brakes and the offset of my tires, they clear the rolled edge by a hair or two. I'm still cutting the rear tires because I didn't cut/roll the edge near the sideskirt, so I'll have to do that tonight before I kill my new tires. At least they clear the brakes... lol

Changes in the last 6 weeks:

- Wilwood brake upgrade up front
- SSBC Brake upgrade in the rear
- New front Wheel Bearings
- New Nexen N3000 tires on all 4 corners
- Rolled fenders
- Repainted and chopped rear quarters

The car still has a small issue or two for me to iron out... but at least it's running and on the road. The brakes are a phenominal upgrade and I recommend them to anybody. Many thanks to Karo for getting the brakes to me, and dealing with an issue or two along the way! I recommend AllEcotec for all of your needs.

On to the pics:





















Lastly, the final picture is of my Girl and the car... not surprisingly, the car has been around 6 years longer than her yet I cherish her more.... it helps she doesn't leak oil like a pig or pull to the left.






Comments and criticism are always welcome.

Lookin good Chris. Glad you addressed the braking this season, the power was scary last year knowing stock brakes were installed!

Looking forward to many cruises this summer.

Passenger seat upgrade is the most rewarding one of all!

the pulling to the left issue is cause of your fat ass throwing the car off balance and the oil issue? THATS NOT OIL! CHECK THAT AGAIN!
