When i was wondering around the ZCON car show (and the track event)... i started looking around inside the cars. Most of the vehicles out were prestine... but, i was curious about brake setups:

Kuah's? car with some nice Brembos. I like the two piece rotors (i personally would have gotten slotted over x-drilled)!! I'm not sure the size of the rotors... but they looked massive!

unsure who's Z this was, but...Porsche owners are angry. I didn't get to ask if this was a difficult install...but, they are pretty!

Saw some expensive seats! I hear they are very very supportive though.

I like this latch for the hatch.they even cut the bumper to get it to fit.

My favourite picture. SUPER clean Datsun...magnificant!

One of two truly raced prepped Z32s at the show. This is an ITE Z32-NA. I want his FAST system. Cage was well constructed too.

and a plethora of gauges. He actually has a brake pressure gauge.

and now... the evil/dumb/i can't believe it:Christ... he has a rollbar, figured he would have spent the extra $50 for the harness bar and mounted the harness properly.

I'll never want to ride in it.

What bothers me about this car is, the engine... prestine! the interior, gorgeous! everything about the car was just beautiful... then he mounts his harness incorrectly.

Hard to tell from the glare but... yeah, that'll hold him.

and the car that made me laugh... This is the Sage Automotive group "drift" car. He was in the "race car" group at Willow Springs.

It's a nice car...gutted for weight reasons. added some extra gauges.

Has a harness...oh wait, it's bolted to the chassis...with no rollover protection and it's not wrapped correctly (should go thru the h bracket 3 times, not twice than duct taped to itself)

Well, least he has a window net... VELCROED TO THE DAMN DOOR!What the hell is that going to do? Stop errant papers from flying in/out of the car? He might as well asked people to put some scotch tape on the door frame before he heads out.

and this car was in the ADVANCED, RACE CARS ONLY group at Willow!! I nearly died when i saw it was VELCROED to the door! BOTH SIDES!

Man that ITE Z32 is beautiful. :yummy Looks like a well-constructed instrument of speed. I love the cage!

Oh, and by "vecroed", don't you mean "velcroed"?

That's Kuah's car... those are 12.5" Project Mu R33 GTR two piece rotors, w/ R33 GTR Brembo calipers. He runs a Hawk HP+ brake pad.

Note the front tire size ;)

His correct spelling and usage of plethora should garner him a little slack :D.

the only reason I know how to properly use that word is because of 3 Amigos.

I don't... there's at least 3000 pictures of ZCON on TT.net. Between the track, the car show, the Dromo1 event, etc, etc, etc.

Quote »His correct spelling and usage of plethora should garner him a little slack :D. [/quote] Exactly! i fixed the "velcro" :)

Would you say i have a "plethora" of pinatas? (i'm not spanish, so sue me if i can't spell pinatas or whatever).
