I received one of my wheels and it happened that i had a tire for it so i had everything mounted but not balanced yet.

I am missin the new long studs for my new Hubs and Rotors.

I am also waiting on the new tires for the rear, they are on backorder till mid sept. But between now and then i can get her started and running.

Your image links were actually page links, at least for me.









I like 'em. Looks good

How long has that car been sitting in there, 20 years?

two yrs of dust storms, but she has been under a sheltered top. I am not that mean...

The front slotted rotors and LPE Center caps were shipped yesterday
The GMPP Studs two days before that

Just waiting on my 325/25R20 tires

Front wheel is 19x10 with 305/30R19 tires, the rear wheel is 20x12 with 325/25R20 tires...

Once i get the studs its an hrs work changing the studs, mounting the Hubs. The rear caliper will be installed and all coated with Loctite and Torqued to Spec.

I think the Hubs are 118lbft,
The rear axle nut is 140lbft
Rear Calipers 88lbft
Front Calipers 96lbft

The return hose will FINALLY be installed. Just have to wait on my hose protection. I have ARE spintric air oil separator where it helps separate the small air bubbles from the oil in drysump systems...

From the searching I've done, I thought the axle nut was 118 lbs-ft. The caliper torque sounds right. I don't think the hub torque you have is right since that's supposed to be the axle. I believe the hub torque (three 18mm head bolts) is 92 lbs-ft.

noted thank you...

Next week i am to start getting my studs, so i will tackle the hubs first then align the front wheels then once i get the rear tires i will then align them with spacers...

If anyone is interested i have a few sets of spacers

Bio248

you have wider fenders, right?

iTrader: (1)

Correct he does.
I bought his stock set of CF Fenders and I also managed to buy the set they used to clay and make the molds for the fenders on his car now...

The original of my fender looked like the specter wide body kit, i smoothed it out to match the rear...

I should be expectin my studs today, and will start on installin them so i may start to make spacers for my new wheels. HOPEFULLY i wouldnt need any...

Also this week i am to receive the new 2-pc slotted rotors for the front...

Ran into a snag on the front hubs. There is a groove in the front spindles that help lock the hubs in place while you bolt them in. I am off by about 25mm/1in. Will talk with my Machinists to see if i can extend the groove for the hub to sit flush on the spindle...

Rears fit perfectly...

Looking good naf!

I have an inch wider fenders made from cf...

So basically if i have an accident i will be in expensive trouble

Naf

Ran into a snag already...The rear disc doesnt fit over the rear hub lip, so i am openin the hole on the disc from 67mm to 71mm.

I gave the spindles to the machine shop so they may open the slot for the hubs to bolt in...

THANK GOD I OWN THIS COMPANY, or else i wouldnt be able to push forward...

Bio248

which hubs and rotors did you end up using?

the camaro rotor doesn't work in the rear with the ebrake, so you'd need to redrill the stock rotor or do something fancy with the ebrake shoe. it does work up front if you open up the center bore, though.

Naf

iTrader: (1)

Ya, i opened the front spindle for the hub, so thats one issue done...

I sent an email to Luke about the E-brake parts. Hopefully its just a unbolt swap in and rebolt...

Bio248

apparently the camaro parts are different enough to make it a non-swappable part.

why are you opposed to using a redrilled stock rotor?

Naf

iTrader: (1)

The camaro is identicle to the New CTS-v. They share the same brake components.

I am opposed to drilling for my application wont allow me. I do track days and my ambient temps are above 120F seven months of the year.

If i wanted to keep takin chances i would have kept the Racing Brake kit and be done with it. But i wanted replaceable brake components so i upgraded to the new V parts. Its just $220 for the new E-brake parts, so i am not too worried. Luke will have them off to me by tomorro.

I have to wait for the front rotors so i may start making my spacers...

My front spindles are trimmed, my hoses are connected. So all i need to do is flush the engine, prime it then start this puppy up.

Then i have 3-5 sleepless nights of gettin my tunes done. One for the street, and one for the track...

Front rotors arrived!!!

Will be installin them with the hubs and all during lunch. Also have my boat in the shop to install the Dynojet Marine engine controller with dual wb and afr gauge. I hope to make this little 300hp engine give me 330-350 hp. Changed the silly stamped rockers for GMPP rollers, and now will clean up the fuel trim where i am 14 at idle, 13.5 cruising and 12.2 WOT. Now i am 13 idle, 12.5 cruising, and 11.5 WOT
