Did you tell them you are a grown man?

Haha, their brackets suck anyways. Bracket one was 12.00-14.99. Bracket two 14.99 and slower.

Was that without nitrous?

Yep, all motor. They only allow you to run 12.00 or slower for college.

Had it at Milan today. Best 12.3493 @ 110.80 MPH. 60 foot was eh 1.7279, which is worse then I thought with the Yank and MTs. Track prep usually sucks on the highschool/college race people.

My junkyard calipers look good, took the boot back some just to look, pistons and cylinders look clean. I plan on just using some red caliper paint to get me by for now. On a different note, does anyone run a 9.5 in converter with a mr gasket 4l60e deep pan? it is the 3 3/4 deep I believe. I wanted an idea on fluid capacity. I got three gallons so I should be good right?

You can kinda see that recessed area for the copper washer on my fronts. Does anyone has a safe way to remove a small area of powder that will minimally damage the sealing surface?

[mcalus]

Thats shitty, who coated them?

[jderry]

I got a set of rears, complete from a salvage yard near where I live. They came off a 1995 Trans Am that had 45,000 miles on it. They seem to be in okay shape, everything still moves freely. Clean fluid came out when I took the lines off. So they should get me by for now. I am hoping my fronts won't be useless also now.

I got new washers. He is referring to this http://images.whisystems.com/smartpa...164324-bac.jpg the area around the green plug. it was filled with powder, I did not have a good way to remove it. If anyone gets a caliper powder coated, I strongly recommend getting cheap hardware from the home depot to put the bleeder screw and banjo bolt holes. I would get some bigger washers to prevent any of the important surfaces from getting coated. Also, powder is not easy to remove form the cylinders. So I would tape those off as well.

That surface shouldn't be flat, it should be grooved in a circular pattern. The copper washer then gets this pattern crushed into when you tighten the bolt down, making a seal.

Yup, get new crush washers. I buy them in bulk

My trans is in and the nitrous kit is finished. But, my brakes leak like crazy. Where the copper washer seals the line to the caliper was not prepped, so I used a fine file to attempt to remove the powder. Now it leaks. Using a straight edge it seems to be flat. I think these calipers may be junk now.

Yeah I ordered a another 4an to 4an manifold with a 1/8npt on the side to put on the rail.

Oh you also have the blanket on wrong.
Its suppose to be towards the bottom of the bottle with the open part of the blanket facing up.
You don't need to heat the top of the bottle you wanna heat the bottom and sides with the nitrous is sitting.

That's good to know I guess. Stupid that they would put the logo on where it will not be seen. I have to remove the bottle to fill it anyways. just mocked up for now.
