I'm thinking about that man. It'd be after the winter though

In other fantastic news, I still can't get it to sit in. But even better news. My car, which is a 97.. has door panels from a 96...


Help pls. Why is my car so damn weird? Wasn't the 97 door pieces a dark gray, not graphite?


My doors. The doors weren't replaced so they can't be 96 doors. The rpo sticker is still on it. ..


....dis car doe....

Need to remove the license plate frame and shorter it so it fits in the cavity better. Also need to finish removing the fog light brackets.

Would I benefit at all from slotted rotors and better brake pads or should I just c5/ls1 brake swap? I don't autox or anything. Just want a little better braking. I'm leaning on c5 brakes because my cousin had them and jesus christ they stopped that 383.

Slotted rotors don't do a thing for brake performance - but better pads will. Actually upgrading the brakes themselves will be the best, though - all about how much you want to spend. C5 brakes with an awesome pad will work wonders.

Would I benefit at all from slotted rotors and better brake pads...

I think so. I just added new slotted/drilled rotors and Hawks LTS pads to my Suburban. With proper break-in, they are working better than any other combo of pads/rotors I have had on the truck in the past decade or more. Towing a 25' trailer, they were well worth the money spent.

I'm not saying you would be better off with this than the C5/LS1 swap, but there are improvements to be had over stock, short of an all-out conversion.

[DanDalessandro]

I think I will do the c5 conversion just to say "ya I got corvette parts" [emoji38] and for the better braking of course. Fellow member here is selling the whole conversion. If he still has it when I have the funds available, I will be buying them. If not, I'll junkyard until I find some ls1 spindles and brakes

Im never busy man, just let me know when and where before the white stuff starts to fly.

[DanDalessandro]

I'm never busy either. All I do is go to school. Don't know your area too well however. I bet you don't know Troy too well either though [emoji38]

14.307 was my best time at the track yesterday.

This was my last run. Went 14.6 because my palms were sweaty.. knees weak...

Anyways, got a hurst shift knob on ebay for $17. It needs some leather dye because it is WORN

[MP81]

Still way better than my Camaro - imagine how not-happy I was when it ran a best of 15.9.

14.3 is definitely real solid, though.

I forgot you have lt1 brakes.
