Tires are everything. If you get 16's with a 55 or 18's with a 35... it will all come down to the quality of tire. Cheap tires ride like shit, regardless of sidewall height.Quote:

With proper inflation and alignment you'll be good to go.
I'm not telling you anything you shouldn't already know... but I'm just saying. If you skimp on tires trying to save a few bucks then you've defeated yourself and ALL of your hard work.
With the Eagle F1's on my GS even with a fully built suspension and coilovers it had nothing short of an excellent ride. Granted in the winter it was a bit firm, but roads buckle in the winter, tires get cold, hyraulic fluid in your shocks gets cold, seats get cold... All cars ride rougher in the winter. Even Cadillacs.
In the summer the GS was fucking money.
Hey John, Im gonna pay a tribute to your white Galant, sir. Very soon.
GS-T wheels are 16x6.
I had 225/50/16 and the ride and look was money.

i thought 225 were too wide for a 6" wide rim.
I cant seem to find where these wires are plugged in. I know one of the plug is for the clutch safety and other goes to the brake light switch. I have another harness coming out the brake light relay that I cant figure out where to plug.

They are also for sensors on the clutch and brake pedal. They send signals to other parts of the system like the cruise control.
Alright, so I'll just get his thing out of there, cuz I dont have ABS or cruise control anymore.
Got confused here cuz my red G didnt have all that and I dont remember seeing it while I was pulling the pedals from the Galant in the junkyard.
Thanks brah.
Finally got the Outlander caliper brackets in the mail after close to a month of waiting. Also in the picture 11.7'' Outlander rotors.
I have to get it all coated and it'll be ready to install.
Can't wait!

Outlander! Really? well I have a wrecked one I think I'll be pulling more goodies off now. Thanks great info.
05-06 only bud.
are these a better upgrade than 3000gt brakes?
Yes, 10.9 vs 11.7'' rotors.
Damn Chris, you sure do know what other cars to pull parts from. I'm loving this build!
Those are some big rotors for that 7g lol car is coming together well
I'm taking note ...is there a way to use these big rotors with 4 pots? and what's the biggest rears you've found
Its not about whats the biggest rear brakes there are, its about matching the front and rear brakes with the stock prop valve. If there was an adjustable prop valve then it would be easy.
The biggest rear brakes are the evo brembos and rotors. I've run front two-pots with rear brembos and the rears were locking before the fronts.
MKO is right about balancing the braking front and rear. The other issue is how thick the rotor is. I don't know about these Outlander rotors but the 2 piston DSM rotors are too thin and tend to crack when hot lapping or racing. If you want big brakes that will last under heavy use your best bet is going to be Evo brakes and rotors. If you're just after a little more stopping power without the punishment of track day fun these are probably a good bet.
adjustable prop valve ......now there's an idea! I will research this deeply when my adhd needs an outlet lol but it is known that big brakes are sexy
im interested in the setup you just mentioned as well. with all the different prop valves at th yard its very likely one will work acceptably ....
off to search this adjustable prop idea......

@Master Visionary - wilwood already sells an adjustable prop valve. I believe its in the $100 range
http://stoptech.com/technical-suppor...tioning-valves
yeah there is a few. this ^ article by stoptech is quite informative, very technical . but im always looking to learn new things
You really need adjustable prop valve on a race car - drag cars for doing burnouts, drift cars for burnouts again.
I was driving in the winter with 2 pot fronts and Evo brembos in the rear. Every time I stepped on the pedal was like pulling the hand brake - the car would lose control in the rear. It was very scary!
The stock setup is 75-80% to the front and the rest to the rear. I wouldnt change it.
I was adreesing the locked brakes. did you read the article? I see you've had your share of brake setups. with tgis you can run any brakes and keep proportioning in spec pressure/kneepoint/proportion to avoid locked wheels and get the most outta an upgrade.
great build im still taking notes
Not bad for 300 bucks right

Evo 8 wheels with matching winter tires for three bills? Outstanding deal!
Yeah 4 matching Blizzaks
these are 245/45/17 and I really wonder if they do rub on the spindles.

That's a cold engine bay! I love it!
looks really good man. wish I had the space to do this to it. glad you are doing it justice.
It is almost there.It looks good,damn do I miss my car.
Nice progress. How are you going to get air out of your cooling system with that upper radiator hose looping down and around?
No 286mm vented or 302mm solid rear rotors?
Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words. Im trying to do it right.
I didnt realize how deep it was looping so I had to shorten it almost a foot. No worries it will burp w/o a problem.Quote:

You got any tips for me?
Oh they are here brother, just not installed yet.Quote:

Sorry, I can't really picture what gasket you're talking about. I didn't have any trouble with the sender unit on mine.
The rubber seal around the sending unit/fuel pump assembly.
Oh that. Yeah, that is a pain in the ass. I put it on the tank first then slid the assembly down in. It took some manipulation but it fit. You could always try putting a light smear of oil on the rubber so everything slides in easier. Remember, lubrication is your friend!
^ Still didnt have time to play around with the fuel pump.
DohcStunr, I posted above that I was gonna pay tribute to your white G, and here it is. Do you know what car these came off?

Test fitted the Intercooler and Then sent it off to my welder along with all IC pipes. The whole thing will have 3 couplers.

Big progress on the exhaust. I got the rear part and the downpipe finished, so now I have to meet them in the middle. I just ordered my second glasspack, so hopefully this will be finished sometimes next week.

I have to drop the pipe from the WG and weld it to the downpipe.
