Re:brother wrecked my frt end..........REBIRTH BEGINS NOW
you gonna upgrade the brakes before you put that 3.8 in there? i dunno how the brakes on your car are, but on my 86SE, they're total ----. took it around road america a few times and by the second lap the brakes were totally gone.
i know the walt zettner swap is pretty popular, but it's also pretty expensive.. i've been lookin at alternatives. found that 90-95 W body cars came with 2 piston calipers, and they'll fit the latest gen ford tore-*** rotors (which are 11.x inch, and only $23.99) if the rotors are re-drilled for the 5x100 fiero bolt pattern and caliper adapter brackets are fabbed. upgrade the MC and you should be able to outbrake most porsches..
i think i priced it all out once and it came in under $500 for the swap on all 4 wheels. only bitch is that you lose the parking brake..

I had all my brakes upgraded a while back to slight bigger ones that are cross drilled and vented. Im building my car around the turbo not the motor around the car.

Well i decided to ripe out my 1 in drop springs and install some 2 inch drop springs . I was looking at the scoop and i am going to shave it down and reinforce the mounting with metal plates and diamond tread. Going to do a rhino coating on the inside but leave my clothed seats and make some diamond tread foot controls ,dead pedal and the bottom wear section under my foot.
