OshawaSS, what about changing to LS/LT 10.6 inch rotors and caliper brackets, even just for race days , then back to the larger SS rotors and brackets, for the stock SS rims?

Today a new problem, on the way home after dinner last night , engine code P0442 came on , I had filled up earlier in the day, and maybe didn’t tighten the fuel cap three clicks, so I erased the code removed the fuel cap and wiped the oring and the orifice of the fuel neck and replaced the fuel cap and turned to 3 clicks. It’s a new in September 2019 AC Delco fuel cap , so I hope it hasn’t failed.

I already had these from when my car was automatic, also these are pretty good brakes, the race brakes as some people refer to them as, get hot fast and start fading bad. It would work for track use but I plan on driving a hundred miles through traffic to the strip

LUMINA! LOL!!!! Now that's a car you don't hear about very often! I remember the Z34 was called "lipstick on a pig" by the reviewers of that time. That's a better "booster seat" car! lol

Today I switched from my traditional method of tracking my maintenance on my vehicles, and went digital in the notes area of my IPhone 8


Old method on the inside door of my AC Delco parts cabinet with a Sharpie, as you can see it doesn’t work to well in sub zero weather.


Much easier to read and track
