First off thanks for all the help so far, first HPDE went great. Was bumped to intermediate on day two and was allowed to solo, with the brakes smoked lol!

The car will get the following mods before the next HPDE. Car is a 99 six speed z28.

C6 front brakes
Cooling ducts
Pcs power steering pump and cooler
Rear swaybar (maybe)
Bar and belts (maybe)

I will add more questions as I think of them, to start.....

On the brake conversion I will use Kore3 stuff, I already have track brackets... do I use c5 or c6 rotors?
Where is the cheapest source for rotors and Hawk pads? Do I need special rotors such as dba?

What pad do I use on the front? I used dtc30 on front and HP+ on rear with stock calipers Use the same stuff with the conversion?

Cooling ducts....

Cheapest parts source. Do I use the black or Orange hose? Can I use the foglight holes for air intake? If so what do you use to go behind it? If not what duct to go into the air deflector under the car? I will use Blaine Fab ducts on the rotors.

Crotch belt, stock belts and 5 point harnesses with WS6 seats...

Put a hole in the seat bottom for the crotch belt? Trim shop do this? Pics?

To use both sets of belts, anyone seen an eyebolt the same thread as the factory bolt? That way I can clip the lap belts in and out in the factory location. Will that work? Will it clear the seat bottom?

The car does have some push,oversteer. Has a 1le bar on the front and a stock rear bar.what rear bar would compliment the front one? Has all UMI roto joints on the rear.

EDIT....

What underdrive pulley? I was told to stay away from ASP. This should help the PS.

Thanks guys.

Bird, there's no rear bar to compliment the 1le front bar?

The car did feel pretty neutral in its current setup, it did push when I missed turn ins due to the brakes and driver error.

Car was never loose on warm tires.

Is John A's car a blue lt1 car with zr1 wheels and movit brakes? If so I read his site. His Naca ducts are close to where the foglight are on a ls car, will this location work for air intake?

The search function on here doesn't like me much Lmao.

Yes, it's a 21mm solid rear or you can use a 22mm hollow rear (or the adjustable I mentioned).

I'd have to see the complete run down of parts that are on the car (springs, shocks, shock settings, PHB, LCA's, wheels, tires, etc) to say for sure, but that doesn't surprise me that it's pretty neutral until "mishandled". That's pretty typical of these cars. Again, not giving you a hard time, but being new, you'll make mistakes that basically equate to "mishandling" the car (abrupt inputs, etc). It's not taking a shot at you, it's just calling it what it is and we've all done it. No worries. Practice, practice, practice....that's the cure.

Yup, that's Jon's car. It's a well sorted car and Jon has done some pretty neat things with the setup. Always worth looking at options/ideas. The fog light holes will probably work "ok". I think there's a thread on here discussing that as well. I can't remember if any testing was done and if results were posted or not. If I was going to do them, I'd probably put a duct behind the holes and adapt it to the hole somehow or use one of the hose adaptors (that adapts down from a larger hose) and see if I could make it fit, slip on, tape and rivets, etc to the fog light "snout" in the nose.

What underdrive pulley? Was told to stay away from ASP.

Turn one makes a pulley for the PS pump. The factory one is plastic. It's not about over/under drive, it's about durability and I'd consider buying their pulley with the pump. I'd look at an ATI balancer with underdrive built into it. It's not cheap, but cheap and "good" don't often come in the same box.

Try the terms and names I gave you and see where that gets you. If you honestly try and can't find stuff, let me know and I'll try to get time to dig it up and post links.
