You all have seen this car here before and I’m sure you are aware of it’s on track antics, if not then see the links below for a refresh.

- Engine Replacement
This car sees tons of track time. In fact it pretty much only sees track time, and like most track cars, after awhile things need to be refreshed. In this case the StopTech Big Brake Kit was in need of a few new parts to prepare it for the Norcal UFO trackday the following weekend.
As you can see from the pictures, the hats for the two-piece rotors have seen some massive heat. Enough in fact to destroy the original black anodizing. These parts, while discolored, are still perfectly functional. The rotors on the other hand had seen better days and were replaced with new ones.
The other part of this rebuild comes in the form of replacing the main seals for the four pistons in each caliper. From the pictures you can see that the old ones were covered in debris and brake dust and were starting to weep, not a good thing when a race car relies on repeatable pedal pressures for optimum performance.
The seals were replaced with the new gray pieces and the entire system was reassembled and given back to the owner just in time to thrash on it at the Thunderhill Raceway. Pics of the track event are still to come and are well worth the wait.
See all the photos of the entire rebuild after the read more (there are 30 or so)
Merry post-Christmas
