I'm jealous, I'm only able to "squeeze" 315's under my front fenders, 295's are much more affordable! Good Luck!

Still looks great. Another one of the cars that have inspired me. :theresa:

I too have joined the manual brake group.

I'd love to see that on this car, I always enjoy seeing updates in this thread because it's always moving in the right direction. More badass.

Well technically it still appears to be a project.......ask again after it actually gets on the track. :mock:

Just because it finally got a race car master cylinder doesn't mean it qualifies.

Funny dude, had to text you get your opinion and we were both on the same page but when Vince told me he had another booster at the shop and we could always send the mc back if I didn't like it I said F it lets try it. To be honest the brakes feel absolutely no different. Weird right? Serious though...I cant tell the difference.
The pads I have in there initially were great but don't bite like they did when they were new. What I did learn though is that I like pads that have a strong initial bite. These pads when new felt like they were going to tear the rotors apart when I stomped on the brakes but I loved the stopping power. After the use of these pads the rotors are showing signs of bluing and surface cracks but I'm not going to have time to get pads and rotors before this Saturday so I'll make do till after this track day.

Seriously -- the R6's will be such a major improvement it will be a "come to jesus" moment when you get them heat cycled and ready to rock.

With the sizes you're running... the car should be on rails. Right up until you become over confident. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Not looking forward to breaking these tires in. According to Hoosier you need to run 3-5 more lbs of air, run approx. 7-8 laps trying to get the most heat in them on the last couple laps then let them cool.
I figure I'll start out at 34 lbs cold which should take me to 40 lbs hot. Then when I bring the car in I'll put all four up on jack stands and let cool.
Should be interesting.
