I think that's just to much work... machine down the corvette lettering, sand, prime and paint the caliper. I guess I'm just to lazy Posts: 154 | From: SWEDEN | Registered: Nov 2002  |  IP: Logged poSSum AutoXer Member # 119 posted                    Looks great.

When I sum it all up I get $3.99 for the gallon. About 50% (4.62SEK) of the price for a litre of gas is energytax and CO2 tax. Swedish taxes suck Mark IXZD 150: I got the brake adapter brackets from a small local engineering workshop. They are the official suppliers of brackets for the swedish Camaro Cup circuit. They are made from high strength aluminum and cost about $330 (3000SEK) for the pair, including bolts and washers. I never thought of taking a pic of them before I installed them so this is the best pic I have of one... Posts: 154 | From: SWEDEN | Registered: Nov 2002  |  IP: Logged
