Its was a great season for the 84 and we for sure kept busy. We were on display at the GM Nationals in the Thirdgen Fbody Display. I also attended a Tours on Tarmac car cruise. It was a very exciting and both exhausting experience of spirited driving. I thankfully was able to maintain pace with a 911 and viper while we were ripping up and down mountain roads averaging 70 mph + . Big brakes was a must.
The weld rts wheels are almost 1k each . 3030 autosport wheels are around 800 each smh lol. Might have to get the ROH Snypers refinished to compete with these big boys. These brembos fit with room to spare.
Ended up pulling the trigger on a custom set of Weld S71 wheels. Spoke with them on the phone aboutt the brake setup. The ATS Brembo brakes from the thread that was posted on here, They said they were very familiar with it. Anyway after looking at the bill for the 2 front wheels I cried myself to sleep for 9 weeks till the wheels showed up. Only to find out that they DO NOT FIT. Very upsetting but I am currently working with them on resolving the issue. They will need to cut a new wheel with a higher pad clearance.
added 13mm of washers to clear. Just to see what the issue was
Removed the high mount ac since the system had discharged. I installed the ICT billet low mount and its danger close to the steering linkage. Im trying to see what would be the best course of action with out compromising my steering. Shave the arm?
I ended up shimming the motor mount on the passenger side to level the motor and raise the compressor up off the linkage.
I think I used some 3/8's washers between the mount and the block. I recall it being fairly easy to do, other than getting my hands down there of course.
