project reach-around

carb needs a lot of work before test and compare but we shall soon enough. miles will start to be put on it soon here I heard snow soon though.

It was fun driving it last night but that rear caliper pisses me off, so I bout 2 new rotors set of ok pads and 2 new caliper and have them on the car. These are for the front of a late 80's grand am though so I lost the e-brake but I will add a line lock to act as such. the major difference is that the rotors are thicker and are vented unlike the stock rotors.

I have them on the camera but that's down in the garage I'll post em later. Need someone to help with bleeding brakes seeming I'm too cheap to buy the vacuum system to do it by myself.

[lucasoil4u]

just buy the speed bleeders with the check valve in them to do it by yourself it makes it pretty easy.

[craig]

I work at an auto store still too cheap to buy them when I just need another person to help

Nice. What does that thing have for front brakes? And will those rears screw up the bias much?

[craig]

has the same front brakes as a chevette which suck something horrible, as for bias this is a popular swap and have heard nothing of it hurting the braking. I have stomped on the brakes(car will not lock them up to save a life) with nothing but a quick stop and the engine shutting off.

Hahahaha a Chevette... I can only imagine how much they suck. Isn't there anything better you can put on the front?
