Big Brake Conversion
Agreed. Awesome stopping power on track too. High boiling point fluid and trackday pads. Used mine for several years with this set up. Just sold them almost instantly. Getting harder to find these days.

What is it about Slicktops??!!
This club has always had a diverse range of opinions as to which is the best car in the range. Long may that diversity and discussion continue.

What is it about Slicktops??!!
I personally hate targas sunroofs and convertibles in any make. Always have done and always will. They are all the work of the devil. Tintops rule for me. Im going to miss my slicktops (had 4) but I have moved on.

It is very common in the USA. hundreds of them still exist.. A good few here too. Ifti has three. Bob Dion still has his. James Morgan too I think. Mike Sandford sold his drift version but its still being used and others....

You have probably bought one now!! Lets hope you bought a Setrab or a Mocal brand! As opposed to the coloured shiny ones from China on Ebay!

Slick Pete's trackday outings 2019.
No Gaz there is no sadness. I have had a huge amount of fun with this car. I saved it from the crusher back in the day , built it up in to my car. Met lots of great people. Old age eventually catches up with you and the car is now too big and heavy for me to look after it and drive it like I used to. The car will be carefully taken apart and many other owners both new and long standing will get parts to use and enjoy. Nothing will be wasted.

Slick Pete's trackday outings 2019.
Time for an update!!! I havnt driven my slicktop since that day? Im now using my ZR on track and enjoying it as much as the slicktop.. I have decided to call time on it. So it will be unbuilt this summer. Its been a great car. I have enjoyed building it. I have done dozens of 1/4miles in it and countless laps on track but its time to move on. Here are a couple of pics of the new track car

Project Dittohead Red
I like that plan.:thumbup1: Solid colour is a cheaper route paintwise. It allows the use of 2K gloss straight outta the gun. No need for lacquer.

Project Dittohead Red
There are alays people in the motortrade who will do cheap resprays. A quick mask up. DA sand over and blow some paint on. A good respray is another matter altogether. To do a good colour change is a long tedious process if you want it done properly ie engine bay, inside returns on all panels etc. And long tedious process end up expensive. In the real world nobody gives a toss what you do. Its your car to modify however you want. JFDI.

+1 Bri. It's way beyond my comprehension. As a fairly small club we are lucky to have someone like Lee on board to take on these tasks.:thumbup1:
