I haven't done any thing with the car, I have been working weekends and nights so I'm all screwed up, lol. We are going to get back on it this weekend, I ordered a 1.75" die for the tubing bender last week that I should be getting on Wednesday.

Lately, I have been really thinking about wheels and after a few emails I think I am going to go with Forgeline zx3r in 17x10 and 17x11 with 275/40 and 315/35 nitto NT05 for the street and later on Toyo R888's in the same size for racing around.

My reasons for picking the 17's over the 18's is:
1 - found out I could run BIG brakes in them
2 - more available street performance (200 treadware min) and R compound street tires in the sizes I need
3 - tires are a lot cheaper
4 - I think the smaller diameter of the wheel a tire will look better in the car.

I saw your thread on the 72 Camaro Scott, it's looking good. Can not wait to see more updates on it. Damn, 315's in front again, man your crazy, lol.

Thanks,
Jon

hey Jon,

I support your decision to go 17s

IMO anything bigger would look out of place on the early Javelins...

I'm dying over here. when are you coming to the track with me? get that thing done

My thoughts exactly.

Trust me, I can't wait either, lol. I have been working my but off this week. I will get started working of the car again this weekend, hopefully pick up some material to start the roll bar. Will see how much "garage art" I will come up with lol. My Dad will finish welding up the left frame so we can start building the inner tub.

Oh, by the way Asif, I saw the roll cage pictures of your AI Javelin, looks great. You got to send me some info on the 3 link your building, got me interested. Also, have you bought your rear brakes yet?

Thanks,
Jon

hey Jon,

I'll post some info/pics on the 3 link once it's done. nothings happened yet but they claim it should be done maybe the end of next week... as for the rear brakes I ordered them at the same time I ordered the ford 9". Wilwood 11.5 inch rotors with 4 piston calipers. here's a pic:

Cool, looks good Asif.

I haven't done any thing on the car yet, with the rain and I was sick over the weekend. But this weekend I will get some thing done. We are taking my Dad's chevelle to get it on the dyno saturday, I'm predicting around 450 to 460 rwhp.

Thanks,
Jon

Jon,who has giving you the best price on those forgeline wheels.

asifnyc · #69 10-21-2010, 01:02 PM

oops, edited the above post. they're 4 piston calipers, not 2 piston...

Jtomas801 · #70 10-21-2010, 03:39 PM

Hey, Scott, I will be getting the wheels from prodigy customs, he has been taking the time to answer all my questions so it's time to pay him back.

Asif, I thought those were 4 piston, right now I am trying to sell a set of those calipers and 12.19 gt rotors, that's why I asked. Also are your rear rotors .810, or 1.25" thick?

Thanks,
Jon
