So ok, tell me what your brake upgrade does that all the other well established ones don't.

There are some really good upgrades out there that use readily available off the shelf parts.  What could be better than that?

I think you're a nutty.....:)

Brake fade, available stopping power, uniquity, appearance. Hell, up until I went stupid with the calipers, cost was also on par with the others, as I was using "off the shelf" parts.

Hmmmm.....you're a masochist.  And is "uniquity" even a work?  That's not fair, you can't use words that aren't words....:)

Uniquity? And even if it weren't a real word, I could use it. Why? Because race car.

As for your discription of me, while I do like certain masochistic elements (Who doesn't?), I derive no pleasure from outdoing anyone, or causing suffering. I just like being odd/different. Hence why I hang around Patrick.

I'm inclined to agree with that rather accurate (if not clinical) assessment of Tristan.

I'm just pleasantly insane. Don't be jealous.

Alright, I finally found the one step I had previously been putting off, due to expense: Calipers. I have since found a local set for $100, so as I soon as I get a reason to worry about stopping (See: Engine), I will start putting it all together and cataloguing the process along each step.

Indeed they are. Going to clean them up and paint them later (Read: Once I have a working motor) and then I'll go to town on the project. I suppose I should also ask if anyone has a working e-brake lever (As Dean broke mine quite some time ago).
