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.

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. Team Chev has good prices on OEM GM parts. Base C6 rotors are preferred. No holes or slots. A lot of my customers prefer Raybestos race pads ST41 front, ST42 rear. Push is front tires sliding, oversteer is rear tires sliding - if the car is doing both on a given lap then the setup is in the ballpark, you just have to figure out what you are doing to make each happen, and under what conditions - then use that knowledge to your advantage. A good instructor can help a lot. GM did make a 1LE rear bar, 21mm. Everything else being the same it will make the car tend to oversteer more (looser). Not expensive, but if you end up dropping the panhard you'll want an even bigger one, so I probably wouldn't change it at this point. Do you have a link to a description of the car? We don't do monster sigs here, but useful to know where a car is at. This post has been edited by Blainefab: Mar 31 2011, 07:01 PM |
