Jim's going to start sporting "sponsor" patches all over his clothes.. May should be a busy month for the One Lap Camaro.. :yes:

James OLC 04-22-2009 06:58 AM

Yeah... May is going to a big month... it would be a lot easier if everything wasn't 2000 miles away.
I could use a couple more of those patches... they really do help take away some of the pain.

James,
What is the main problem with the brakes?

Well, your case of Torco "super oil" should be there today or tomorrow.. I will ask them for a patch ;)

I don't know for sure yet if there is a 'main' problem or just a couple of little problems or things that need to be better adjusted. The brakes are there but they are definately not exceeding my expectations if you get my drift. We are going to rebleed the system and change out the fluid and I want to look at the pedal travel length (which, like the clutch might have been adjusted too far inboard) and I need a place to work on the bias adjustment.

We'll see... just more things to get 'right'.

I would also have high expectations of AP brakes. I hope you get the car sorted out.

James OLC 04-22-2009 12:12 PM

I don't think that the AP's are anything short of awesome brakes... but to be realistic, any time that you build something from scratch you're (at least I am) going to have teething issues - sometimes obvious ones, sometimes subtle ones. It could be as simple as too aggressive pads and not enough heat... it could be physical bias... or it could be MC sizing.

Regarless, we'll get them sorted out soon :)

That car is simply gorgeous! Whatever I say would do no justice to that blessed thing. Made my car looks like those crap you buy from junk shops. I am so envious :)
