The best suspension setup available for these cars. Congrats!

if you need new vented rear rotors let me know, i do them now

ALSO to add your front rotors are nearly shot as the slots are nearly gone but also on backwards as the veins are the wrong way! forget the slots its ALWAYS the veins that matter in a curved vein rotor

Vein direction looks correct to me, which way do you expect the air to get pumped? With the rotation of the wheel, I’m set up to pump from outside to in.

thats not how veins work, they always go from center out. always. you would be the only one to do this. if you fed air into the bell/hat then it would not pass the veins.

yeah, these are wrong. i’ll fix that when the new rotors arrive.

The better air is always the central parts and will naturally draw air in. Due to the wheels and rotation you wont draw in alot of air from around the wheel. Easy fix though

 

[Justin DuBois]

swapped - now the veins will pump air from the center out.

I found two different size pads that fit the rear:

I think the small ones are for the later years that came with non-vented rears

New safety equipment


The look you have when you hit more boost than you’ve ever seen before! Lol

 

[Justin DuBois]

More progress:
Remove the old one and replace the hardware with metric. (yeah, It wasn’t)

In with the new

Fabricate new hoses

Time enough to clean up a little detail

 

[Justin DuBois]

Looking for an un-modified skirt to purchase.

Modified lower drivers side wheel well skirt:

Ok - two new rotors in hand, start the process by disassembling the left side, Alan bolts came out without too much fuss, but the T nuts are tight in the hat. Light taps and no movement, so I start with soaking in a penetrating oil.

New - Thick - Heavy

 

[Justin DuBois]

T-Nuts were a pain to remove. I threaded the bolts back into the nuts to give my hammer a target. Holding the hat hard down with one hand, I tapped the nuts out with firm direct hits. One needed a little heat, but not enough to make the material mad.

Assembly after a good clean up with a ss brush was a breeze. 70in/lb

1 drop green locktite each

Installed

Dawn soap, brushes, manual green scotchbrite pad, and some nylon brush - drill attachments got the brake dust off.

Those front wheels bout wore me out. Need a Grip Strength exercise? Try pushing in your caliper pistons by hand.

 

[CrackedDSM]

Gorgeous.

 

[Justin DuBois]

Gorgeous.

Agree - clean is so good on the eyes.

Got me itching to put my BBK on! But I don’t have 2pc rotors

Yours look amazing and always loved those wheels

These were the best fit for offset and clearance in a 8” wide wheel that fit over the stoptech and under the stock fenders. I had a lovely set of 5 spoke 8” that had the wrong spoke profile, so they had to go. If I get another wheel package, I’ll definitely look at these Italian made OZ’s again.

Oz tend to be heavy, look i to some konigs! For the price are super light! My 295 konigs with tires are lighter then the 17" i had with 255 tires on! By a good margin.

Oz tend to be heavy

Absolutely not! I imagine they don’t weigh more than 16lbs each

Super leggera when i held them were rather heavy. But i know they build for allt of normal strength. But many models so yes it is dependant on that also. For OZ money there are lighter options these days for less funds.

- I'm this old today to learn Velcro makes a cloth adhesive that will hold up in the wash, and the soft "loop" half of the strip is PERFECT for a Sparco R100 cloth seat and lumbar pads.

Michael’s had this on the rack

What would you use this for? Excuse my non racecar driving experience.

Now THAT is awesome! I may also steal this for my EMS pants. Use it to hang a velcro "loop" to hang my trauma shears off of. That's awesome it's made for cloth. Let us know how it holds up over the months. If it holds up to heat/body sweat then it's good for life as far as I'm concerned.

I love lighter - but strength is important. I have seen expensive wheels crack and die on berms. One time, a wheel on Kent Jordan's EVO, cracked a taco shaped chunk on the main hoop and thanks to whatever coating/film was on the inside finish - It was still holding air when he came into the pits.

Evo 8 6 spoke wheels are SUPER strong - stronger than the O.Z. I would say. We beat the living crap out of evo 8 wheels at the track and they held up no issues,.
