*** UPDATE 4/13/09 ***

Small update but progress is progress.


Got the old calipers off and new ones on. stock size rotar 11 inch but 2 piston to 4 piston conversion should help a lot. Im going to reuse the front 2 piston calipers for the rear.
Also cut the dash to fit around the bars. Bolted up and it fits good. Removed it for paint though.

Corvette Manifold clearance. Fits better but still going to be tight to make my up pipe to the turbo. Once done they will be ceramic coated.
