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.

    The outlander rotor is comparable with the evo rotor. Its much thicker that the normal 2 pot rotor.



    @Master Visionary - wilwood already sells an adjustable prop valve. I believe its in the $100 range

    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

    Nice progress. How are you going to get air out of your cooling system with that upper radiator hose looping down and around?

    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.

    Listen, I cant seem to install the sender unit with the fuel pump. The gasket seem to be in the way a lot.

    You got any tips for me?

    Sorry, I can't really picture what gasket you're talking about. I didn't have any trouble with the sender unit on mine.

    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.
