      Considering how inactive I was up until now, here's something you don't see every day.

      It's getting cold, which sucks, but I should be able to get the new exhaust and get this thing back together soon. Hopefully. Here's the brake swap I finished just before the main positive cable broke at the alternator, and then blew the head gasket.

      Is this car a handful? You bet it is. Thing breaks worse than my Miata. Go big or go home I guess.

      Working on getting the project log back up. Hopefully that's back in business soon.

          Think I know at least one other person who will agree with you on that 😂

            I really want to do a brake upgrade on my Eagle when it's running. Hoping I can stuff some Wilwood calibers in the front, and convert the rear as well.

              @aperson I would link you the build thread, but it got kinja'd. Once I have it re-uploaded somewhere I'll link you.

              Mine is sitting on KW V2s, I have a Wavetrac LSD with 3.06 gears, SRT parts galore. My car is a real frankenstein of the Diamler-Chrysler parts bin.

                @sn4cktimes Wilwood is 100% the place to go for what you're looking for. If you have the budget, some race shops can R&D you caliper brackets if none exist.

                At one point I was in talks with Baer to come up with a bracket so I could use 6P calipers up front. Then I found this setup for less money and more stopping power.
