Had to upgrade the bolts from stubs to DSS adapters, the head popped off of one before reaching torque :icon14:
But we’re good now :tup:

Answer to your question on RacingBrake rotors. :tiphat:

At that price I'd be tempted to get Z06 brakes.

:wtf2::wtf2:

Rear portion hooked up enough for now; gonna start assembling engine components this week.
Hopefully trans will get here soon :tup:

Look at getting some Swift helper springs due to your none adjustable stock shocks. This should give you the preload that you need and keep the springs from being loose on full droop.

Will the helper springs work on that set up?

Something tells me they won't.

Yes, it has been done before. It was posted on here in the brakes and suspension section.

I got to dig for it.

I looked and can't find it. It may be in the track section. Guy that tracked his car was having issues with not enough droop. He fixed it with the helper springs.

Rear rotors, pads, park brake shoes & hardware showed yesterday

A little port-matching on manifolds :tup:

Looking good buddy :tup:

I been gone for 5 years look like i missed a lot of things. Sweet build you got going !

Glad to see you back. Do you still have your car?

His Z would be farther along if the split tails wasn't in the way. :icon23:

:icon17:

:iagree:

He does! He posted sometimes on Instagram. He just got his Z re-tuned.

Good to hear from you little brother! I am in the final stages of hurry up and wait with my car. It will be three years for me in a couple of weeks. My hope is to have the Z in possession by Thanksgiving.

Nice, that tq curve is a little funky!

He had to let off early. Can u guess what is going on?

The final stretch- Thanksgiving is right around the corner too. I hope the car is perfect after being so patient.
So when my car was on the dyno we found that the clutch started to slip, thats why the tq curve looks funky and towards the end u can hear the clutch finally grip.

Ensuring fitment of all port-matched components before assembling :tup:

Be patient, as soon to be a Grandpa :eek::eek::eek:

Congratulations on your forthcoming Grandpa-ness! Spoil 'em and give 'em back.

Currently, she’s staying with me :ugh2:
And has been for over 27yrs :icon14:
I’m just currently trying to keep her relaxed through the process, while doing things on her list :wtf2:
I’ll be back on the Z before long :iagree:

Had a “Small Delay” as I will be resuming build soon :tup:

Good looking kid!
(Both of them, but who's the Squatch up in the corner? )
Merry Christmas to y'all!
