great thread!
Finally I found these. I never cared for the modified 430 tip with the challenge exhaust so its been a hunt to find the correct exhaust tips. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Very cool sir ! I bought a complete 430 Challenge brake kit few years back set me back 14000.00 bucks. Kit was shipped in wooded crate from Ferrari inside calipers rotors brake booster brake lines clips and more. Question standard 360 brake booster same as carbon ceramic brake booster ? Might be a good ideal check to make sure you can use yours. My experience EVERY SINGLE time I ever change out some FOR better it all ways leads to some thing else to change !
I will check that. Its a fun project to make it different but still have a modern feel. This hasn't been my first car to modify but the learning curve is mutch different. Your car has given me alot of hope
Really nice to hear you say that. Same here my first car 69 Camaro had no front end working two jobs I was 16 years old I paid 432.00 Dollars with my tax return check. Every week I would pay for a used front end and a motor put it together by my self look like crap rust falling from the quarters panels. I drove for a couple of years with pride that I built that rust bucket of a car .
well, I made these tips. I don't have a pic showing the opening but they look identical. I'll shot a pic later. upper: what I made from 430, sans valve. lower: from a genuine CS Image Unavailable, Please Login
Looks good . And even though I was about to go that route with the 430 tips and moddfiy the length. I really wanted the factor part. I even have a tig welder that I could have used. I don't like to use a mig welder on SS since you can't back purge that way. But either way works.
I all most done with my 66 mustang coupe that I'm building for my wife. I did all the body and paint and pretty much the whole car Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I use the same transaxle oil as well. I do put a "glop" of lucas oil stabilizer in as well, never experience any chatter. Cheers and good job on the resurrection!
If you need another project....I have a 55 Cadillac Meteor combination car I have been looking for a new home. The make a wish foundation wants it but need a shop or someone like yourself to finish it. Frame off done, all bodywork done, needs paint, interior, and dash installed along with lots of little things. Older pic but have an appraisal with all new pics and info.

Identical as too with the bumper on but those welds I couldn't live with my self. I never mig weld SS only tig weld and it should be backprurged.
It isn't about mounting them. The 398mm calipers are a different caliper to suit the extended pads (they have additional bracing along the leading edge). The 398mm pads are also much larger to suit the increased swept area. I seem to remember that 398mm pads fit in 380mm calipers but the strength risk remains.
well I got the 430 challenge studs coming which space the cailpers out further. When they get here more stuff to work on

Small project for today. Recently received the other 360 challenge stradale tail pipe and like the other one I have it was cracked in the same place. I cut the bracket off and re welded it better I think. I wondered if this needs more support or the vibration will make it crack again. Any ways don't do much with SS but when I do I getbit down Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
