Smokey McSmokeyson!

ITS.....SO....BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More pic pleaseeeeeeeee...

I think it's incredibly selfish of you to not post a bunch of pictures of your big brake set up. You ahve been very secretive about it all along and I don't like it....not one bit.

Lol I'm quite sure I've posted about it but here it is again:

1st gen Probe Hubs.
These must be modified to fit the mx-3 struts......
Or if you are running Ksports/D-2's you can order the probe hub mount lower portion of the strut assembly and it will all bolt up

I have custom brackets made for the hub-caliper. IF ANYONE IS LOOKING TO COPY MY SETUP I HAVE TWO MORE SETS OF THIS BRACKET

I then used an aluminum hat and a tenzoR 12 in brake rotor.

My setup also required custom heliocentric rings for the rotors so that they did not slop around.

My rotors are US BRAKE however wilwoods with the 5.25 in spacing will work as well.

Finally when plumbing the brake lines note that most stainless brake lines are standard. I had to convert my caliper side hard line to a standard fitting on order to bolt it up.

NO MORE KL POWER>>>>>>>BP-T all the way........Pics and details tomorrow.

Thumbs up for BPT!

I know now this car will never see the light of day outside of wishful glances from your garage now

What what what!?

Not cool Glenn. She will rise again..............you will see.

Awesome! Is that Will Thomas's car?

It is er was.

hmmm... well you should have kept the trans with the LSD you could have swapped it into the BP trans. I am kind of surprised, but pleasantly surprised with your decision if you could have found a FEDOHC motor it would have bolted to the GS trans and you could have used the same turbo and maps the BPT is lighter anyways. a nice little spit shine and you are going to have a mean machine.

Do you have any kind of HP numbers on it? Is it a real BPT motor or is it a N/A BP with BPT goodies? N/A BP with the goodies will make a lot more power at 14psi. difference of about 190-200 WHP to 220+ WHP. Sorry I have questions and I am just anxious for your car to be on the road

It's a NA with goodies. Guestamation is about 240 hp. If I could have gotten my lsd to mate up to this setup I'm going to cry a river?
