Damian looks like good work to me!

Question, are those big brakes actually fading on the track or are you just trying to cool them more/better to increase rotor and pad life?

thanks jeff :-)

i had them fade slightly once at RoadAmerica, not enough for me to loose it, but enough for me to think of getting some air there....and I'm getting used to the car now so im going deeper and harder in the braking zone. also, cooling the rotors just a bit will help keep the hub bearings cooler and maybe get more life out of them.

Sounds good, do the rotors have aluminum hats? What type of life are you getting out of the hubs?

What does the car weigh in track trim including fuel?

not yet, that is next on the winter mods, ill have aluminum hats made

>>What type of life are you getting out of the hubs?

well, im not sure yet, i just reaplced one at the begining of the year (I had just got the car), but thought I felt some toggle in it when i took them off for this project, but that toggle went away when i put it back on and re-torqued the big hub nut


>>What does the car weigh in track trim including fuel?

no idea :-) ill get it weighed at some point :-) no stereo or ac, but still has interior
