My Very Own V8 Vert (First drive vid added)

[Vtec?lol]

Kazaa? (No pirate intended)





Ordered these bad boys up. Not bad. They are considerably light and forged 16x8's
Now looking for a good tire. Would like a nice wide and semi meaty tire but can't order until I figure out my suspension.

Other news, got a lil driveline work done. Rebuilt my open diff and converted it to a locker.
Mounted it up and now I can get a drive shaft measured.




Clean LSD

wow, nice work! Kepp it up, I'm interested in hearing how the pedal feel/effort is!

[Vtec?lol]

You made quick work of that. Props man!

Thanks man. I'm trying. I'm still fighting starting issues.

Just put some black grip tape over the pedals. It will look cleaner, and your feet wont slide off when they are wet.

That's actually a good idea. Grip tape as in skate board grip tape right?

What bore masters are you running? What brake setup? Stock calipers/pads? Looks good man.

Thanks
They are 5/8 front 5/8 rear and 3/4 clutch. The brakes are Ti rears and e36M3 fronts with regular pads and rotors.
Same pedal assembly mount from Garagistic and they are the 6.25:1 reverse mount wilwood pedals.

I LOVE the coating on the valve and timing covers... looks great, man!

Thanks. I was going to hydroprint them a carbon or deep wood color but this was dast, cheap, and very effective VS the hours it would take sanding and prepping them to dip.

Glad to see the boosterless brake bracket work out for you. May we use these photos on our website?

Thanks a bunch. I'll try to get some better resolution photos soon but feel free to use these.
I still might end up getting a Driveshaft from you. Patiently waitin on the shop to return my calls.
