What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

[Luster]

Ryan, this is the main reason I changed my pads to Hawks.

 

2.5 hour trip = this........ (stock pads).......

The damn stock pads produce to much damn dust

 

Going to paint my calipers AGM also

Exactly it's noticeable on my black rims

Yeah, it was ridiculous on the Vette. The factory pads are extremely soft and the brake cooling ducts blow the dust from the frame, out toward the wheel. With the Hawk Performance, it cut my dust by 70%. Now, after 15,000 miles, almost no dust.

Nice can't wait

 

I have brake dust all over my rear quarters from it blow out of the rear wheels. One short trip and my rims are filthy

Hopefully the beast returns to its den tonight. Hopefully I won't have to finish it myself. Update in chit chat on the AC debacle.

Translation of the first few words for those that don't know how Ryan "speaks"

 

I have a slight trace of barely noticeable, expect by me, brake dust on top of the 8 coats of wax on my quarters.

.j/k Ryan

Just making an observation. But this thread should be titled "What did you do to your other car Ryan aka Muscle car today". Just sayin. LOL.

Got my car back. It had been idling and sitting for a while, not good for a car like this. Ran it hard one the way home, my dad was driving my car back and was a half mile away and heard me put the hammer down

Roll bar padding for the "belt bar" today. I'll post up pics and see if everyone thinks it'll work for my Lil guys, have to get creative for where the belts bolt to the bar.

 

Looking into rebuilding the carb for E85. Not sure if I want to, if I needed gas where E85 wasn't available, or if I wanted to run race gas, and unless I have the correct size jets, etc for reg gas, and time to change them on the spot, I'm going to be running 20-30% rich until I can find E85 again.

 

Simplest solution is a FAST 2.0 EFI system.
