George - Nice brake upgrade. Thanks for posting the lust worthy SLC. Would be awesome to build your own vehicle. True manhood extender.
Pete - Cool track shots. That's gotta be a blast to be one of a few cars on the track.

Looks good, George. And while quoting it said the name of the photo album...
. I really need to get around to putting brake ducts back on. My car seems to warp the rotors every weekend. Not good.

Spent Sunday getting my brake ducts in place, used a modded C6 Z06 plastic duct and a LG racing spindle duct
Had to take the front hubs off, which was not bad at all. This should get me a lot more life out of my pads and rotors.

I like those plastic ducts--they look like they may be usable in the S2000 to help clear the tires.http://www.zip-corvette.com/ProductD...GR-SR&CTitle=&

Brake ducts seem to be working, took the car out just a bit a ago to bed the brakes in. On the first few hard stops sparks were flying out of the wheel wells.

Just going down to 55 must warm them up a bit.
