#31914, "A brake upgrade that even the EVO swap cant handle!"
Jan-28-09 11:28 AM by Black Cotton

          

I Was looking for a better brake set up for my Avenger, and had some calipers layin around the house, so I decided to buy some rotors and play with cadd, and this is what I came up with.

The front uses 6 piston Wilwood SL6 hub mount calipers w/ thermlock pistons. Baer Eradispeed 2 piece Front rotors 13" * 1.26"

The Rear uses 4 Piston Wilwood dynalite hub mount calipers w/ thermlock pistons (same calipers Wilwood uses in the 2g FRONT kit. Baer Eradispeed 2 piece Rear Rotors 11.8" * .866"

I also used Russell 3an hose and made my own Brake hoses attached to factory Hard lines.

here are some pictures feel free to discuss.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Since there seems to be some interest in the Suspension, I'll post up some pics of it. I pre-assembled most of it before installing it, so ill post up what I have, pre- installation.





i made my own aluminum subframe bushings... i have a close up for anyone interested.

brake wise, i upgraded to a GSX master cylinder.
other then that you can see the rest of the brake set up.

suspension wise, Im running:

- SPC upper control arms
- Energy suspension urethane bushings f/r kit
- Suspension Techniques Sway Bars
- K sport pro coil-overs
- Home Made Aluminum Sub-frame bushings
- CSK-C front upper and lower strut bars and rear X member Tie bars
- Pilot Rear Lower Tie Bar
- Other then that, I bought All New Control Arms, and hardware, and had everything powder coated and painted what i couldn't powder coat

a company by the name of S&W race cars, makes a ready to install/weld in 10 point cage for the avengers, and option swing out kit, which I just ordered.

and Currently i have my Rack looped to a custom aluminum can.

motor wise, its a "standard" build, matted to a a670 forward valve body transmission. and a whole bunch of other goodies.

interior is stripped, but i found a company that makes a full fiberglass dash which i ordered, along w/ an eclipse CF dash, and CF A pillars. Other then that i planned on just having my gauges, 1 seat, the cage, and maybe down the line CF interior door panels, and door sills.

that was exactly my goal.

I wanted to build a car to do some FWD time attack, some close course street racing, such as lime rock and watkins glen, and still have some fun on the strip.

i guess this is what i came up with.

i re did the entire body in CF: front bumper, hood, fenders, doors, trunk, rear bumper. added some CF such as side skirts, and gas door.

and took out things like a/c, power steering, cruise control, evap, egr, the entire interior, most of the un-used wiring harness, and cleaned up the entire engine bay.

i have more pictures in my "welcome thread", and i will post more once i get the car back from having the turbo manifold, exhaust and IC piping done.
