  1. its a have to see thing, it looks better in person like the wheels. this is the best shot of my ricer wing i have. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c80/CamaroAJ/dsc_0368.jpg
  2. they have been used on corvettes before as well as a few corvette race cars. the new Ron Fellows Z06 had them, the Grand Sport C4 had them as well. the car defently gets some looks.
  3. when i typed the title i had ricer mods to the vette but changed it. and thats the first step to fixing your problem;)
  4. did a few body mods to the vette, just a little something to make it stand out more around other vettes. black lower bumper cover, a few of you have already seen that car with it. http://a611.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/70/l_5ce1b3505237faae7bd920c429dfb43a.jpg GS Stripes http://a749.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/29/l_bc49b51a6d7193bfcbe5706a01a7c74c.jpg that is all for now.

    i raced today so i am ready to go for next weekend now. your all in big big trouble, well i hope anyway.
  11. didn't say the clutch wasn't good for a DD, the flywheel isn't. you loose all the energy that a steel flywheel has because of the weight. you would have to slip the clutch alot more and in traffic that sucks ass. aluminum flywheels are only good for roadracing/autocross. steel makes a much better clutch for drag racing and will have lower 60ft than the aluminum. example GM added 16 pounds to the LS7 clutch and flywheel to make up for the huge weight loss of the rotating assembly useing Ti rods.
  12. also with the FFV 5.3L engine intake gaskets. the new green ones are suposed to be ok but the orange ones suck.

    just some food for thought here, why don't F1, FIM, NASCAR, ALMS, Indy, and many more use drilled or slotted rotors? 3 reasons, first is those holes are the weak link in the rotors second, those holes or slots reduce surfice area of the rotors and thus reduce braking pad contact zones. third, drilled holes and slots were done to rotors when brake pad technology was not near what it is today and the gasses formed from the old type of pads would create a cushion of air if you will between the pad and rotor reducing braking ability. with todays pads they don't give off those gasses and don't need the holes in the rotors to get them out of there. search other forums like http://corner-carvers.com/forums/index.php and anything else you can find that has a roadracing/autocross section. corvetteforum has alot of good stuff about seasoning rotors and such. if there is a forum for WRX's that has a racing part then chances are someone has posted a DIY brake duct cooler install. Jegs sells the silcone hose in 3 or 4 inch and its 11 feet long. they also sell neoprene but it doesn't take near the heat. the china rotors are OK if you season them right. they are dirt cheep and last just as long as the expensive ones. maybe 10-16 track days. get good pads though, they might only last you 5 track days though. Jegs also sells Wilwood 600 high temp brake fluid, i run that since its local and i don't have to wait 3-4 days on UPS. some of those fluids are uber expensive, $45/12oz here is a chart of the most recomended brake fluids out for track days BRAKE FLUID COMPARISON CHART Brand Wet Boiling Point Dry Boiling Point Castrol SRF 518°F 590°F Motul RBF600 420°F 593°F Wilwood EXP 600 417°F 626°F AP-600 410°F 572°F Brembo LCF 600 399°F 600°F ATE-Super Blue 392°F 536°F Castrol LMA 311°F 446°F Ford HD 290°F 550°F Wilwood 570 284°F 570°F PFC-Z rated 284°F 550°F AP-550 284°F 550°F
  14. i think that car has been in the shop more than it has been driven. that would drive me nuts. are they doing it to marks car too?
  15. ever get that feeling your the odd man out?

    very bad idea, they crack way easy. regular rotors crack too just not as fast as drilled or as bad. and be sure to season the rotors before you take it out on a track day or you could crack them the first day. C6 Z06 Rear http://www.petting-zoo.net/corvette/z06-brake-rotor.jpg
  17. i don't know anyone from slowmotion other than eric.
  18. aluminum flywheel = not a good DD part.
  19. stay out of Delaware Co. with that thing, they'll think shes street racing because its a race car.

    brakes are over rated, they only slow you down.
