      Amen brother.The car has floated around $9000 until the brake dilema.Just to upgrade the brakes required different wheels,Wheels- $2900,I should be able to offset that by selling the old ones.I really ended up getting the 15" front brakes for $1400,the guy gave me a rebate because the one rotor was crusty,the rear brakes are Baer 14"- 6 piston at $1670. So no it was $6000 budget brakes.I can offset that also by selling the old ones. I knew once the car was built, I'd make some upgrades,I didn't think they be so quick and costly though.

      Long story short,I just tripled the original budget minus about $1500 I'll probably get for the old wheels and brakes.Handling of the car has been phenomenal,power-respectable but not great,the only weak spot was the brakes,which should be excellent now.I'm hoping this upgrade will balance the car, and make it alot more competitive.Once I get the rest of the bugs out,I really want to do more on the road courses(that was a ball).

      Someone wanted weights on the new wheels. The 11" are 22lbs and the 13" are 26 lbs. I'll weigh the old ones once the tires are off them. Ron

      The car looks amazing, I love the color, the stance, the wheels, well.....everything.

      But, I think you lost about 20K worth of reciepts along the way

      Very, very nice.

      I liked the car before, but the new wheels look so much better. The car looks more balanced with them. The brakes up front are huge!

      Ooooh!

      I like the CCW's a lot. To me they really fit the car's personality. Full race baby.

      The front brakes look huge on that thing, and I see what you are speaking of with the front tire really being stretched.

      It attaches to the rocker and cowl normally,and I bent a custom core support out of 1" square tubing.The hood hinges backwards so I didn't have to attach anything to back or middle.Its pretty sturdy,but you wouldn't want to stand on it.I have considered fabbing some aluminum wheelwells,then I figured why add the weight.
