I’ve been eyeballing Kore3 brakes for a while Thanks again

Hi Jimbo,

I did not drive my car with the original brakes as my car was only a roller when I purchased it. However, I have driven my buddy's late 2nd Gen with factory Disk/Drum set up and I was amazed at the difference. My car actually stops just like a new car. His car felt like I was driving an old car with crappy brakes.

You can't go wrong with the Kore3 stuff just make sure you buy the DSE Brake Booster set up and you will have tons of fun accelerating into a corners with ample braking prior to the corner.

Thanks again. That gives me the feedback I was hopping

FWIW my car went from manual disk/drum to manual KORE3 with the same C5/C6 hybrid setup Marty has... the difference is rotten apples to Florida oranges! I feel like I could stand my car on it's nose if I needed to!

Call Tobin at KORE3! You'll be happy you did!

Marty,
I have a few questions about your brake system. You say you are running Tobin’s Kore3 C5/C6 setup. Is it the Vette base brakes? What are your rotor sizes, front and rear? What size wheel do these brakes require?

I’ve looked at Tobin’s website numerous times, but I have no idea what’s what. Lol. So any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jimbo

This post is just a random post about nothing.

I am leaving this here as I have a sill crazy idea.



Picked up some distilled water for start up.



As every already know I love taking pictures and since the iphone does such a great job. I picked up the SnapGrip from www.ShiftCam.com and I love it.



Of course I had to take a few pictures.

It's getting closer to starting time with Andrew Dr EFI so I figured I would wrap up all the ground wiring. I have ground studs in the drivers and Passenger side Kick Panels which need to be converted to brass nuts, bolts & washers.

Passenger Side





Drivers Side - Out with the old



I put a small amount of Dielectric grease on the head of the nut and the washers inside the cabin.



Since my memory sucks (chemo side effect) I used an extra bolt to stack the wires the same way they were in for mock up.



All better



I also located the wires from the Holley ECU that I will be using to control the fan and AC shut during full throttle acceleration



Picked up the Mat Sensor which I completely forgot about.

Broh,

I am impressed that your purchasing power is showing no signs of bottoming out!
