Thanks BJ can't wait to see your RS build

I sold my old Willwood small brake set-up so had to pick up another set (Thanks to Tyler Wolf for the STM set-up just need the rears to match when they are available).......dropped a little bit more weight too with the scalloped rotors





Unfortunately i don't think i will have the car ready for the last race of the season but i will get it out to some TNT's ASAP!

The cage needs to be re-cert'd as well as my 5 point harness but i may be making a change to it so i will wait for winter to do so.........

We're making them right now. We've actually already got several orders for them in, so if you want them the moment they're ready, we are accepting pre-orders.

Nice i was just about to e-mail Brian (sorry not too sure if this is you or not lol) and then i checked the thread

I will gladly send the funds over to get a set asap but do you mind if i ask if there is any ETA? I won't hold you to it just trying to get an idea so that i can plan out installing the rest of the brake related mods?

Thanks for helping out on the build guys

UPDATE TIME!

I will get a complete write-up of the track outting from this past Sat when i get some time to sift through all the vids, pics, timeslips etc.

After a disappointing outting earlier around apr/may of this year when i got the dogbox installed due to a dying turbo the car sat for some time as i had just moved to a new home and didn't have much time to work on it until now.........the wife has been gone for a week so i've been basically spending evey last min at the shop prepping the car lol

Anyway more info to come but just wanted to post this up here for people that want to follow along in this thread.......

I appreciate it and can't wait to bolt up the small rear brake kit and shoot for an 8 sec pass.

Got a couple other minor weight reduction mods to try out as well hope the weather stays warm enough to get back out 1 more time
