Default been awhile

It been awhile since i posted about the car. been very busy with life. i lost my job at GM due to involuntary separations. i guess thats what i get for leaving engineering for sales during a not so great time for the company.

since then i have done alot with the car.
- engine is mocked up in positions,
-create harness is in
- Rad assembly built using a C7 C&R racing radiator and C7 fan. the intercooler is a afco unit from a ZL1 with twin 2500 CFM pusher fans that are wired to the ac unit and a PWM controller
- speed tech one inner fender on. they are not easy but when one wants 315s up front one has to work.
-vintage air kit installed

mcleod rtx dual disc clutch

Default finally back at it

Finally back working on the car. damage from the hurricane is fixed and i had to spend a full day pulling all my parts back out, partial boxes of parts and bolts out and figuring out where i was 3 months ago. SO MUCH FUN...... but over the weekend got the engine, Mcloed RTX clutch and new T56 magnum F trans all mated together and in the car. got the front brakes on and am working on the rears. next up is wiring and plumbing. i should be updating more often now....

Are the Z/28 brembo calipers the same bolt pattern as the C6 ZR1 calipers? I think I'd much rather have those than the C6 ZR1 calipers if they do.

these are zr1 corvette calipers. they are all the same in terms of rotor and pad size. the difference between them all is the stand off distance for the caliper bracket bolts. so the c7z calipers are basically the same as the z/28 and the c6 zr1.

mine are a c6 zr1 setup repainted bc no one will go to the c7 and 5th gen camaro/6th gen camaro setup yet.

Thats what threw me off because I know the ATS spindles are C5/C6 brake setup. Where did you find the correct Brembo and Z/28 logos to put back on the calipers? Mine have some chips so I was going to have to repaint them anyways.
