Greatest Motor Sports and Car Discussion thread ever! Waiting patiently for a youtube video of ya driving it on the track.

what type lugs are you using?

Thanks. I'm glad people enjoy it. I eagerly wait for that day as well. I can't wait to stop building...and start tuning.



ARP Late model GM lugs.

I'll clean up the caps and pop those on tomorrow. This feels good.

what kinda grease did you use?

not a big deal, but i have started using marine wheel bearing grease in everything

just a little added protection


also, u need to anodize the bolts in the wheel flares

I LOVE marine grease. It is superior in every way. This grease however, I think is actually heavy duty truck/tractor grease that I've been happy with in the past. I wish I could remember the name, the label got totally fucked...cause...well...grease.



Mounted the calipers tonight.

Here are the brackets.



Bolted those onto the calipers.

Loaded with Wilwood Sport pads.




Awwwsheet...

Pictures do no justice.


Also installed my steering boots.

Old - Baaaad




New - Good




Confidence is slowly returning with each successful task. Baby steps.

Dumb question = What does the arrows on the brake rotors mean?

I sure hope ya didn't put the lefts on the rights (or wrong...) side.

Not a dumb question...Since they have directional cooling vanes (vents), they are designed to rotate that specific direction in order to manage heat.



Some rotors have non directional cooling vanes. With these, the direction does not matter.
