Close... Enviromental Protection Agency. Our county only allows water based paint now. My HOK Tangelo is not!

Thanks I was just being a smartass, I will say that there are many loopholes in the EPA standards, and our shop we were allowed a certain amount of solvent based colors(low VOC) per month along with the water based paints, and there are some poly based applications that didn't even fall under the loose guide lines? that are technically brush on products (but once reduced with acetone, per manufacture directions can be spayed) and since there brush on (supposedly) they don't require EPA vapor standards (I.E. POR-15)

I just heard about the new contingency program after just updating my camaros brakes just today!! aweeesooommmeee!!

look at the difference and much lighter lets see how they work



just used some line clamps and swapped the lines, and just hung them on the tie rod while i remove the old cast units



finish them up with the included bolts



and put the wheel back on!! man that was simple!



I used a power bleeder but I will have the girlfriend pump the brakes tomorrow anyways, ha ha ha thanks

[ROBS6T8]

So the bolt pattern on the older fbodies is the same as the newer c5 and c6 vettes and fbodies? I though they were different.

[srh3trinity]

bolt pattern is the same, but a big difference in the backspacing. The newest generation of Camaros has a 5x120 bolt pattern though and that differs from the 5x120.6 that GM has traditionally used.

Hmm, wonder if the deep dish rims I bought will fit my second gen T/A.

Are they C5 deep dish wheels? If so, you would have to run an adapter like the OP is running on his wheels.

[Mr Nick]

Are you running multiple spacers..?

[sniper]

Are you running multiple spacers..?

I don't think it's a question of is, but why? Those wheels look like roller skates out that far.

Cool project though.

[Rod]

?? no multi spacers?? 2 inch spacer in the front and 2 1/8" spacer in the rear

[Rod]

heres the rear spacer



the front Factory GM rotor has a relief cut all the way around and that is what the extra line on the rotor is

Stainless Shiny stuff? I just got rid of the shiny aluminum stuff painted all the aluminum (water pump, heads, intake, pulleys, valve covers, billet brackets and so on)
