ya thats right... I have a 7.5 inch wheel thats goin on... I jus didnt know if n e body has tried that or knew if it would hit, cuz if I need 2 use a spacer it might look wierd

does anybody know if 225/50 16's will rub on a lowered car??? offset should be 35

ICE is caca... jus really easy 2 use cuz it comes off even with the sun on it... the meguires NXT stuff or high tech yellow wax is prolly some of the best easily available off the shelf product... believe me I sell it for a living lol

well the show went pretty well, especially for a first time... for n e one whos interested we will be holding another at the end of summer thats going to be even bigger, ill keep u guys posted n i promise 2 give more notice this time lol.....

its not a meet really, theres all kinds of cars n bikes that r gonna be there... the store is advance autoparts.. in the old lappens building on rt. 1... theres gonna be a raffle to raise money for a charity, thus the radio station, but we might just use a local DJ instead 2 keep it from looking like a corporate promo... if n e body just wants 2 stop by, its gonna be alot of fun as the registrations have been flowing in since teusday... all are welcome 2 at least drop by n check it out

is n e body at least THINKING of coming 2 watch???

i get that but its on a sunday... most people have sundays free i thought... eh no biggie i jus wanted 2 give people a chance 2 take part, we already have 27 registration forms and about 43 people that say they are coming, i just dont have a paper saying they are.... so if n e body can make it its gonna be great

and if pressure2 and itchy read this, I really hope u guys can make it, let me know!!!

k.. little bit of an update... I ordered a caliper and a rotor for a 96 ST... matched the bolt holes to the calipers I already have, and TADA.. definatly the same ....the only thing throwing me off now is the rotor... when I matched it up to the rotor for the '03 GTS, it was the same diameter, but a little thicker... so thinking that I may have ordered the wrong rotor I started checking part numbers for 6th gens... It may jus be the way it was listed for Advance, but it seems that which rotor is which bounces between the years.. so I guess I'm gonna hafta jus measure the rotor that comes off the car when i finally get around 2 doing it 2 make sure..

do they make their own turbos? A Friend of mine was using one of the manual boost controlers n didnt like it at all... he couldnt get consistant preasure out of it n was constantly tweaking it... but I my self am planning on using one of the electronic ones in the near future..

wat ever happened 2 the pics coming soon part?

k.. went and did some measuring... the piston from the 6th gen GT and the '03 GTS are the same size, or at least within a millimeter or 2 as the boot kept getting in the way...

I took a look at the rotors as well...


the rotor on the left is for my 97 GT and measures about 10 inches (55mm) in diameter... while the one on the right is for the '03 GTS and measures about 10 3/4 inches (74mm)



both look to sit the same in thickness and both share the same hub section leaving the ONLY difference the diameter... that means they fit on the hub, no dremel required... There was an error in shipment for the ST parts so still waiting for those... Ill let u guys know when they finally come in

I'm planning on using a slotted rotor, but for anybody that is interested in factory spec replacement...
Bendix number:
'97 GT : 145009
'03 GTS : 145294

yes, the bolt holes all lined up, the 97 00 and 03... as far as the piston goes I'll have 2 measure, but if i remember from eyeballing it, they were very similar... it seems the only thing ur really gaining from the swap is surface area from the larger rotor, and after-market part choice/availability..

sure thing, I'll prolly document the whole thing for people who have nothing to do but read lol.... the only trick now, getting around 2 ordering the rest of the parts, then finding the time to do it lol... I'm actually ordering an ST caliper with bracket to verify wat works so check back soon

Anybody considering doing the front brake swap from the 7th gen should read this... considering I beat the hell outta my car, and I'm starting to rack up the miles, and it's getting about time to think about doing my brakes again, I figured, hey why not replace the calipers before I need 2... so while im at it.. why not use the 7th gens parts. Seemed harmless till I acctually tried to order the parts.... according to Advance Auto parts computers, from 2000 n up the 7th gen gts use the same caliper... but theres a slight variation in the part numbers for the semi-loaded calipers (caliper with bracket) thru the years.....





the 1st one on the left is from the 2000 model.... the middle is for my 97 GT.... and the one on the right is from a 2003 GTS.... I'm using the one from the 2003 because it seems 2 give the most room n still line up, as I'm not sure if there will be any kind of interference...

here is a closer look at the difference in the brackets between the 2000 and 2003






The part numbers for the 2003 (the caliper on the right) are Cardone:
19-B2580A
19-B2581A

and can be bought at n e Advance, or at least interchanged at n e other self respecting part store... I think I also read somewhere on here that this only works for an ST... or that the GT brakes are the same size as the 7th gen, but this is wrong, as there were both rotors in stock n I definatly pulled out the tape measure.....

how bout $40 n i'll arrange pick up
