@Jbrad Any pics?

 

[Boone]

Better yet, Jbrad, start a build thread that I can follow.

 

[Jbrad]

I should have everything buttoned up in a week or two and I definitely will.

 

[ChrisM]

I swear I saw a a thread or mention of it (so if someone has the link that'd be great...), but is it worth it to upgrade from four piston to six piston Brembos?

 

[Bill Pemberton]

I think you will be fine, often going to a two piece slotted rotor and a more aggressive pads is often enough. There are quite a few machines out there that can stop on a dime that only have four piston set-ups. Heck, mine does, ha,ha.

 

[ChrisM]

Thanks Bill, that's about what I figured.

 

[ChrisM]

Holy cow, what kind of forum voodoo is this? Merging build threads? This is awesome but I really need to fix those Photobucket pics...

Bill Forgot to mention He has a rear bolt-on parachute on order to deploy for speeds over 160 mph....just in case...

Took the liberty of cropping your vehicle's main photo, hope you don't mind Chris.

Nope, thanks!

When does your location get to swap back to "USA"? I'm looking forward to seeing your car move forward.

 

[ChrisM]

Next summer. I extended a year to take advantage of a position I got selected for. I should find out what my assignment is fairly soon though!

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Consider requesting an Omaha stationing ( Bellevue ) as that means you would have three course each respectively within 30 minutes, 2 hours and 3 hours. Sounds pretty promising, right, with the extra plus of being 60 miles from the Solo Nationals site for plenty of Autocrossing too! Just saying, ha............

Looks like I'll be heading back to Cali sometime this summer. Kind of disappointed, I abhor Kalifornia, but I'll be right down the road from Willow Springs so that's good.

If you’ll be that close to Willow Springs, Buttonwillow will be relatively close as well. I really like their legacy track a lot, and they have a brand new 10-turn circuit that will be completed early next summer. Not a bad place to be!

That will be cool. This will be my second time living in the area so I'll get to make up for missing out on stuff the first time around.

Edwards AFB?

 

[ChrisM]

Edwards AFB?

The first time around. I'll be just outside of it this time around but still "attached."

Look up the super GT cup series if you haven’t already. It’s a new series for 2021 with a fun, fast group of mustangs, Camaro’s and vettes

That sounds like a fun one, thanks for the heads up.
