Ya... BUT YOUR MY BOY BLUE!



Brakes look damn good dave, Jay just saw my car for the first time a couple weeks ago. I think it convinced him to get the Breyton rear. Guys, Im not sure if yall remember but that hood and those mirrors were the ones that were on Alex Mchenrys car way back. They still look fresh as hell. I know a couple local guys that would kill for the hood, me included. Jay I still need the window tirm and pop out windows. Dave your in Boone now right? Night fellas. Yall give me a call.

[lordofmpower]

there is a possibility i'll be headed to Charlotte this weekend, I'll grab the trim and pop outs if i make it down there.

[RCWells]

hey sideways, please, fix that spelling, it's driving me nuts. thnx.

[hamann318is]

lol i have to admit, whenever somebody spells shit like that wrong, for me, it just instantly destroys their credibility.

STOP! GRAMMAR TIME!

[sidewaysdave]

lol, i always wanted jordan to add in a little spell check thing for the people that suck at spelling like me and for the people that miss spelled words piss off so much.

formula driver did you ever fix up those mirrors and put them on your car?

TJ, those wheels are pretty fucking clean compared to when i first got them they were powder coated in brake dust. thanks for the help on paint selection. and as to the intermediate lines we couldnt get to them. they will be done at a later date in the next couple of months when we go to jay's shop and have the tools and the time to drop the rear subframe.

Get those intermediate lines on as soon as you can. With any rubber left in the system you aren't gaining any benefits from the SS less until you eliminate all the flex.

i want your hood!!! looks cool can't wait to see the hood on the car.

The benefits are very noticeable, however they will be even more so with the intermediate lines in.

The inner surface area of the rubber lines is directly linked to the amount of distension in the entire braking system. We decreased the overall surface area by say 80% and that decreased the total line distension accordingly. We also rebuilt the calipers and drained and flushed the entire system so a second bleeding session will be in order after some mileage and heat cycles when the remaining air collects in the calipers.

It was on the car for several years I'll see if I can dig up some pictures.

[The Fast One!]

I would buy the hood from you but I will probably endup painting it so I dont think i should spend $1K on a very nice CF hood, one where the weave should be shown for everyone to see.

oh well when it becomes official I might change my mind.

I am aware of the benefits, I have SS lines and rebuilt calipers as well. I am just saying that there is still rubber in the system, so those 2 rubber lines are going to flex more than ever now that you eliminated the rest of the flex.

Well yes, and no. Yes, there are still shitty rubber lines in there and they are flexing. But the ability of the master cylinder and brake booster to generate pressure hasn't increased. So the internal forces applied to the remaining rubber lines are no greater than when all of the rubber lines were in the system.

So, I would believe that the lines are flexing in the same measure as before, unless my reasoning is off. Now if we had changed the brake proportioning I could see a difference in flex due to the higher or lower percentage of pressure applied to the rear at the split, causing higher or lower internal line pressures.

Look at T.J's sig.... he has them now. I was gonna use them but in the end the two tone stock mirrors did the trick. There is a picture in members ride of my car with the DTM's installed. Jay... this weekend is my Birthday so Im gonna go crazy all weekend. The thought of working on my car isnt going to cross my mind. I need a 17 inch tire though.
