Hey Buddy, What brand rotors did you use.... I'm also running Z06 calipers. I'm trying to decide if I should run a two piece or one piece.??

Thanks, Dave

Hey Dave, the rotors are DBA (Disc Brake Austrailia) and are their 4000 series one piece. If you aren't running several track events a year and trying to get that extra little bit.... just buy the one piece and save yourself 2/3rd's the cost.

So the past year and a half has had it’s moments but have finally made it to completion (for the most part). Got car on the road a week and half ago. Really tried to have it ready for the MotorState Challenge track event but just couldn't quit do it. Got enough tune in it, the morning of, to run on the street and join in for the cruise and dinner for MotorState but not enough to run safely on the track (nothing like pushing it to the 11th hour). Aside from missing door locks and side windows it is up and running. Interior will follow through winter.

So many people to thank for their help through the process of this build over the past 1.5 years:

Tom Farrington @ TDS Kreations for many build parts including the Ricks tank, Racepak dash, C&R radiator and Forgeline wheels

Randy Johnson @ D&Z Customs for my driveshaft and awesome front spoiler

Paul VanNus @ Dutchboys for the DSE clip, suspension and sheetmetal parts

Jason Mitchall for wiring and cam/valvetrain components

Brent Malone @ MalCal for the last minute tuning help

It’s been a fun ride, and while curse words and hair loss may have pursued, the day of breaking a champagne bottle over the bow has finally arrived.

Congratulations Buddy, it looks great!

Awesome Buddy, glad I (tds-kreations) could help along the way. The ride last Sunday was remarkable to say the least. Has me thinking LSA...

No problem. I can say power is good, haven't had it on actual dyno yet so no numbers but it seems to run right where it should.

You bet Tom! You've helped a ton. And thanks for the feedback and ride-along last weekend.

Digging the look of the wheel's and tires. Looks like a taller sidewall than a 30 up front. What did you end up going with front and rear?
