    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    So how about that plumbing setup for the biasing valve? In between the master and ABS?

    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    wonder if they are worth the $700.... And I would have to get them powdercoated red to match the rear, gay problem I know... But shiney silver front rotors and red rears would look bad.

    intercooler ??

    I mounted mine with some 1/8" 1.5" x 1.5" aluminum angle. HARDLY anything I would call FAB work. All ya need is a hack saw and some sheet metal screws to save a few hundred bucks.

    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    I want to get the bias fixed before I add even more stopping power to the front. Do the 4 piston calipers retain the same 13" cobra rotor? If so, Where can I get these Calipers?:D

    Blew 5th gear

    the 3650's are a craps shoot. You either get lucky, or you get screwed. I personally have been lucky... mine makes funny noises, but never grinds, holds up to over 550RWTQ and I beat it like crazy. However, I have seen many fail for what seems like no reason. For $1650 you can get a performance...

    intercooler ??

    extremely overpriced. Slightly over rated in HP http://stores.ebay.com/Treadstone-Performance they sell a 28" x 10.5" x 3.5" intercooler for $250. (isn't listed right now, but email him and he will put it up i'm sure. He also has a website listed on his ebay store. Prices there are about...

    Is it a bad idea to go aftermarket on a motor mount?

    I'm running stiff prothane mounts in mine and it doesn't rattle or shake. You might have a missfire or a cylinder down on compression if it is shaking. Also, the mounts from discount or advanced are just fine. But if you have mods, or drive hard, I would suggest the prothane mounts. They're...

    Back in the 2V game again..a few Qs

    Until someone comes out with a (good) aftermarket intake for the 4.6, staying NA will cost more than FI, and be a lot slower. You CAN however make a quick NA car then bolt up some nitrous. I would suggest stage 1 cams, LT's, bigger MAF, 30# injectors, bigger fuel pump, cold air intake w/ K&N...

    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    I already have several mods that allow me to run neck and neck w/ porsches in my class and am not allowed to run R compound tires. If I could, I wouldn't be having braking issues. I am just looking for info on brakes only. Thanks.

    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    I took a look at the valves @ summit... I'm assuming they get plummed in between the master cylinder and the ABS unit? Would the drop in pressure going into the ABS unit cause any issues? (If I ever fix it)

    Pilot bearing fell out....

    I don't know if it was the new or old. Looks shiney. And my buddy that did this hasn't worked on a car before.... So When I ask obvious questions he's like "whats a pilot bearing"... So thats not good. I'm gunna help him pull it this week if the weather stops acting like its Ohio All for...

    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    Ok, so how would I go about making the ABS a little more agressive? Even with it on and working, the rears come no where close to breaking traction while the fronts are. I'm running 275 kuhmo ecsta mx's (darn sticky) in the front. I Just want to be able to brake as late as the porsch guys...

    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    I do intend on fixing the ABS, But when I'm out at sebring, the ABS would KILL me. It is biased more toward a safe stop, rather than a fast stop. It feels like the car is floating when it was working properly. I would usually disconnect the wire harness to the controller for the track and brake...

    Pilot bearing fell out....

    I wasn't around for the actual removal of the tranny. My buddy said he put the tranny in and out a few times to get it lined up, I'm thinking one of those times the pilot bearing stick to the input shaft and got pulled out.

    Pilot bearing fell out....

    A friend of mine was installing a new clutch the other day and I cam by to help as he was installing the driveshaft. When he backed up I saw what looks like his pilot bearing on the ground. Any first hand knowledge on what this will do if left out? Car has a specII clutch, tr3650, and...

    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to ballance the braking system to match the weight, tires, and suspension of the car. Right now the ABS is out and the fronts will lock at ANY speed if I stomp the brakes. The rears do little. Even though they can only aid in about 20% of my total braking...

    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    a while back I remember seeing a 13" rear brake upgrade kit that included rotors, lines, and a custom made bracket to relocate & retain the stock caliper. Anyone have any clue of what I'm talking about? Know of the product? Just want to make sure it isn't available before I hit the CNC to...
