Sorry, have not looked at it for NA/nB which are unrelated cars mechanically.

Brian,

Any progress on the header testing? Do you have an availability date yet?

Header is here but this car has been up on the lift for months while we use it to develop other bits. We ended up diving into working up our own NC oil cooling kit and special 2.5 mounts to drop the 2.5 motors lower without changing engine mounts. Anyway, hope to finally be breaking in the new motor soon.

Hi Brian,

Any news or up dates on the new brake package?

Maybe photos on the car?

Here you go...

Putting more miles on the setup before selling it but all good so far.

How are the rear brakes going to be dialed in...
Any additional boosters or different proportional valve?

The rear piston sizes selected to balance the fronts and so far the balance feels perfect. We plan some racing on the setup to get more impressions of the setup when really pushed but so far I can't see any need for boosters or prop valve.

It got pushed aside while we prepare for the big Laguna event but we will get back to finishing brackets for that in October.

Glad to hear that Brian's Wilwood rear BBK kit is being track tested. I have the Wilwood front BBK (not installed yet) and impatiently waiting for the rear kit. I was hoping that someone might be able to tell me how much lighter the Wilwoods, (front and rear BBK) kits are compared to a stock setup? I have changed the stock rims, now have PF01 17x8 rim. Forgot to weight the stock rims so really do not know how much weight I saved on the switch. Hoping that the weight reduction was enough to to cover the increase in weight of the wider Yokohama Advan 235/40/17 tires.
