Mr.kenchan, I feel you my friend, we started doing this kind of stuff in Toronto couple years ago, and alternate week with recycle bin and garbage, thus the garbage could stay inside the garage or whatever for two weeks!! Yup, sucks... Quote:
Mr.onzedge, please don't make me feel it's Thur today cos Wed is the ONLY DAY OFF I have of the whole week!!! I can't imagine if the next day I wake up after a Tues is a Thur!!! LOL Quote:
LOL BTW, have you check Road&Track website? They did a comparo between the ZL1 and the 2012 GTR, and they praise the ZL1 quite a bit!!! Have a nice WED everyone. LOL Last edited by alcheng; 02-15-2012 at 12:59 PM. |

Kewl vids. Makes me want to get my ZL1 even more. I'm not sure the compare was fair. Cold weather, all wheel drive and $40,000 differance. Hmmm

However, they have a small issue that is known as the "StopTech Rust Ring". Before you install them, go buy some high temperature clear (or colored if you want) paint. The ring develops between the hub and where the pads make contact and will appear very quickly after you start running them. Anyway, mask off the hub and rotor surface, leaving about 1/2 to 3/4 " of the rotor exposed near the hub. Get it? I hope I am explaining this well enough. Then spray a couple of coats of the high temp paint. Do not worry about overlapping the paint a little on the pad contact area on the rotor as it will come off with a few brake applications. I hope that this helps.

Mr. onzedge, are you referring to the concave ring around the hub? If so, the rusty rotor issue affects the Z1 rotors too.
I've got rust there.

Here is a picture (sorry it is a cra**y low res droid shot) before I sanded the rings off and applied clear high temp paint.
