Thread: 1999 Regal GS Turbo failure...

Impala calipers ! No, use fbody. The corvette ones are better. GXP. Ctsv. etc etc....

I guess ill just have to find some 18s then. I hope they have some drag radials/ slicks that will fit on the 18s.

In that case.. U better stick with Fbody or gxp'ish

So C5 f-bodies then. Ill pay a little extra for the factor. Seeing "corvette" written on the brakes may throw some people off a bit.

I haven't had time to read though it yet, but I'm gonna be trying the swap whenever I need my rotors replaced (soonish).

DAMMIT now I've gotta do this. I almost did the cast iron DTS setup about a month ago but I talked myself out of it because my setup is nearly new (MAYBE 500 miles on it). Once I wear through something and have to take it apart, I'm going with the Bonne GXP setup.

So it looks like ill be cutting E85 out for a while when the car goes turbo. Between rent, school, and bills i cannot afford getting fuel logs and the rest of the necessary stuff. Im just going to use my 60#, Racetronix 255, casper's rewire combo for the summer on pump junk. The goal has been taken from 450+ whp to low 400 whp. I figure even at lower boost it should still be a fun car.

E85 is nice but not totally necessary

I like the smell though. Like sitting in traffic with the idle at 650 on an XP cam and smelling the alcohol in the exhaust burning. It makes people look twice.

yeah I also hear about people making 500+whp with a full boogie h/c/ic m90 setup. I take everything with a block of salt

don't lie, youll puss out the first time you lose a few drops into yer drawers when you hammer it

E85 just isn't consistent here. I know of 2 places and they are no where near where I drive. Plus it's been equal to mid grade price. So I don't see any point yet ... Still waiting though

I think I hear the worlds smallest banjo playing a dirge just fer yew
