PHIL!! Where you been my man?! Glad to see you are still kickin around.

If it makes you feel any better, I held off for years getting an aftermarket radiator. I finally got the Alradco a few months ago and wish I would have bought it from the get go. Excellent piece and no more issues with cooling.

LOL, I thought the same.

Used to be Friday nights. TWS has since sold and most likely be taken out to put in a lovely sub-division/strip center. Anyhow, Little River sounds good to me. David, you have been a great supporter of TRs for years, once again thanks for putting this together.

I live next to TWS and have "street raced" there multiple times. As convenient as it would be for me to have the TXNATS there I would say no, not TWS. TWS is "street race" style racing, no prepped surface, no timing, no lights, ect. As fun as it is to play there on street nights it is not...

If you are in, I'm in. I've been out of the scene for a while and need to knock some dust off. Hopefully will be there.

Should be very little or no change in offset going from drum to disc. The change will only be the thickness difference between the drum and rotor (where it sits against the hub). If I remember correctly its around 1/16" difference.

Are you putting in the p-valve for disc brake bias front/rear? If so, either valve will work.

Thanks Charlie, I'm still on the 200, Ive got a case located but trying to get it all done in a few days is a PITA. I'm up in the air on making it, I'm sure everybody knows the feeling. I'll see if my buddies still want to go, if they do we might still make a trip out of it.

Well, ended up cracking the tranny case, broke tranny mount, ds and yoke. Not sure if I'll go still or not. I'm not gonna try to get the car fixed in 4 days, its sucks more not being able to go to Noble than just having the car broke. By the way, a 21 lb launch will give a stock ds hell.

I'm probably out also, went to the track last night to check everything out (haven't raced since Noble last year) broke the drive shaft and front yoke, not sure of the tranny damage yet, it's leaking a little on the front end of the tranny. We'll see how it looks today and go from there. TK

I have not had any issues at high speed stopping with these brakes. I've got on them at speeds around 130mph and no vibration, shimmy, ect with good rotors/pads. Side note: I have EBC rotors and pads, they are not cross drilled, just slotted and dimpled. My buddy has the same on an '02 WS6...

I don't believe they will, most 15 wheels will not fit. Maybe someone will chime in on that.

The stock hubs will be used but the rotor section will need to be cut off. HTH

Pics look great John. Cars looks fantastic in person as well, drives and handles perfect, and hauls balls. Your car should be the poster child for "how to build a bad ass Buick". Nice job on the car.
