Yesterday I finished to install the front caliper bracket.

Tapping a hole is not easy for the first time, not enought deep lol. I need a new bolt.


Done :



Still waiting for the rear disk hub spacer , but I moked up the shit.


Look cool


Dunno I told ya guys, but I changed my DD, I had an 06 Altima on BC coilover.

Not going to lie I really don't like these 80's chevys, but this is the cleanest one iv ever seen! Car looks grate! Glad to see you going through the brakes and suspension and not just putting more power into the car. This is how I would have done it if I had one!

Also a cool idea with the hoonigan sticker I might borrow that idea down the road if you don't mind.

Thx for your great comment

For the sticker, go ahead, but you'll need to show me once it,s done hehehhe

Diff had a lot of loose on the shaft

Problem was the counter-bore needed to be before the Caliper plate
Before :



After :

You can see the sandwich




But the disk is not enligned and hit the caliper bracker right now :


I will need to shim the disk hub.
Testing how much shim I need


I will need to put 3'' studs in remplacement of the cutted 2'' because the new 0.5inch spacer will not have it's own studs.

With the shim everything will be fine. Wilwood don,t give a shit about 12bolts Strange diff and their kit. The offset of the axle is incorrect


Bracket it now enligned.

Car will stay like a long time.


Rear brakes removed, got diff oil, it's sticky.

[paradigmqc]

Washed the GF car




Changed the orange "redline"









Need to put the rear on candellas.




Weightreduction


Wiper motor.


Spindle mod.
Before with the C shaped part



After ("C" shaped part to bolt the bracket)


The only thing left is to "tape" holes for the Galiper bracket and torque wheels studs

[paradigmqc]

Tested rear relay for the trunk


Had to crawl on trunk, remove light and disengage the trunk with a flathead screwdriver, you can see key release unbolt.....

You can see dust.... shame on me

3 years without seeing this.

Damn a garage is usefull !



relay seems to have "vers de gros cris"

[paradigmqc]

Btw :

Got my bumper mounted


Current state of the dash :

Waiting from leds @ chicago.

Done some touch up, will put sticker anyway
The old coolant tank had rub all the paint. Good job GM.


Overflow tank in place

w00t this music suck as hell lol !!!!!

Music style playing in my car : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiNAact_1vM


Not even near you mentioned !!!


Fuck I'm pissed of about redneck with 3gen

[thebornotaku]

It's "budget" My friend have waaaayyyyyyy more expensive build

most people's "budget" builds don't include stuff like wilwood conversions


Also, major props on having one of the very, very few third gens that I think looks badass. Usually when I see a 3rd gen, it's all roached out and I hear Boston, 38 Special and Styx playing in my head simultaneously while I picture a man in a Member's Only jacket smoking Kools. That is not the case with this car.

[paradigmqc]

love the progress, I think its hilarious you consider this a budget build. I'd like to see what you consider a real build then lol. keep it up

It's "budget" My friend have waaaayyyyyyy more expensive build
