So when are the Reverse Thrusters and Parashoot getting installed?

Just so you know, you are clear to land on runway 10! you should have enough stopping power

The one that was made for our cars and the supra. How are you piecing this together and what car are the calipers from?

I originally planned on doing what you're doing with a hybrid set up, but the caliper clearance was what I was worried about

Geoff, just get some 20" inch high disk rims and force the huge calipers in your mother of a barrel.

Now march!

maybe when tony's car gets fast

Tony,
whats the ETA looking like on the rest of the project? make sure you talk to todd about the proportioning valve. that turns into a huge deal when youre talking about slowing down for a turn and you plan on not having your car go where its not supposed to. let me know what he says about it too. im curious

what is modding all about? to be different? why do some people choose to buy certain things? cost?

well, this is both...different...and costs half as much as a "Gran Turismo" kit...

Todd knows all about keeping brake bias balanced. I've had a number of discussions about it with him. I am sure this setup will be tested to be safe before it hits the streets.

im sure he does. just wanted to make sure he didnt gloss over it
also curious to see if hes using some sort of dynamic valve so that the brake bias can be controlled via a turn of the valve like in gran turismo 4
