Well to start off with I got to give BIG PROPS to all that helped out today!
First of all to Mr. Dorey for making the morgage on the house that the garage is attached to that gave us the place to werk on the racecar. Ms. Dorey for making the bestest grilled cheese sandwich evar! (nothing beats a grilled cheese sandwich!) Ryan for having the guts to take on another project of mine. Pete for being a great guy and helpin out big tyme. THANKS GUYS!!
Anyways I REALLY needed to replace the brakes. I ordered Brembo OEM replacements all around and got Axxis Metal Master pads for em’ from NOPI. We even decided to install my ST sways and Ben Ogle lower tie bar.
Here is all the good stuff ready to be installed…
Here are the guys getting ready to break stuff…
Here is the rotor that was the worst…
A closer view… its baaaad real baaaaad…
The pad that caused the damage…
On to the new stuff. The new front rotor and pads…
BREAKTIME!! Whew! Nothing like a cold drink to cool off after replacing broken stuff…
Here is the rear ones side by side
The rear sway and Ben Ogle bar installed!
Here is the front bar installed. You can still see the dirt on some places from when I was rallying at the Homestead meet. Man was my shiz dirty after that one…
NO install day would be complete without someone doing the “options” pose infront of the Aztec…
sorry steve, my bad dawg. I guess if you would have come I would have both of the caliper mounting bolt on my drivers side!!!..
I drove all the way across town today and I got to my friends house and on the way it started to make a noise. So we pulled off the wheel and the caliper was loosely attached with ONLY ONE of the bolts out of the 2!!! :shock: :sad: :mad: :argh: :whoa: :uhoh: :tsk:
How about you guys drive down to Miami and help me put on my 5 lug and advan rims in to weeks. Here is a list of what i got
Adavan RC here is a pic of them.
Brembo sloted rotors,steal braided brake lines, and of course the 5 lug suspension i need help putting up the rear traling arms.
The brakes are MUCH better! The inital bite of the Axxis pads are great, and they arent as noisy as I was expecting either. As for the sways I can’t really say much because my tires are my weak link in my supension now. (all 4 are different brands) Other than I dont scrape mud flaps as much anymore. So Im trying to get off my dead ass and sell the Racing Harts so I can get some LS wheels with falkens.
Oh yeah I got and installed my Ben Ogle C-pillar bar also! WERD! It is a solid piece and I really like it!
oh yeah he does! I recieved it on thursday last week and installed the same day! I was waiting on his sig to change like last time and got sold out. So on a hunch I did a search in the for sale forum and got lucky!
hayden: yeah, I need to do that also, hopefully Ill be able to get around to it with my “busy” schedule:p
