This is funny. You hit the nail on the head and drove it home.

You said, "Perhaps" and this is what you're going with. So you're trying to be Dr. Bloozeberry of the Mounties, hehe.

After talking with Chris he suggested two options. One was to use Brembo Viper e-brake kit. They're pretty and should stop a car on a dime, but they are not cheap.

A thread on the NSX forum has the kit.

Giving the situation I'm in (N* automatic and to pass inspection) -I think I'll use the spot e-brakes for now. It's not like inspector is going to drive my car off and go power sliding or drifting in the parking lot to pass. As Chris mentioned the e-brake bracket grade of material should be made of thicker material, but since the clapping power is so weak it surely won't come close to bending the bracket. However, it would be nice to have a e-brake system that can stop on a dime. Just to add; I also reviewed the e-brake for the Lamborghini on Ebay. They want $400 per side-I don't think so.

Or the hidden quality in these pictures:





And what's that rusty thing you're hiding behind those big brakes? Is that the quality we should all be striving for?



I can see how the level of detail of your car justifies all your rhetoric.





So Dudly, what you are trying to say is my car is completed and therefore all of the areas that have rust are to remain as-is. Wow! I didn't know you knew may thoughts and were car is headed. Amazing Captain. Amazing. You should've been around when it had 8" rotors with stock brakes and when the backend looked like a hearst , hehe.

Let see the transformation process:

As you know, the original caps are shot and rusted out. I'll have the outer layer removed, drilled and replaced. When I purchase the car I didn't know that the cats were rusted until my arrival at V8Archie's.




The fit just fine and I'll have them chromed later on.




Dudly please continue. I like hearing from you all of the various items that need to be corrected on my car. I won't be offended, hehe.

There's a way to make your replica 2.8 engine sound just like the real Lamborghini/Ferrari engine.

Items needed:

1. A friend
2. A beer/soda can.
3. A Replica.

Actually with a CAI system, ported exhaust manifolds, Hypertech chip, hollowed out cat w/ stock exhaust and slow shifts at 6000 rpm, it is not too difficult at all!

Dude, let me seriously school you for you don't have your facts straight. If you can go out and buy the parts "as-is"-then it's a kit. If you happen to be in a accident and need parts-that's a kit. On the other hand if you can't go out and purchase the parts "as-is"-that my friend is a one-off. If you are in a accident and you can't replace the parts "as-is"-that is/was a one-off part. Kit cars on the other hand are "kits" or replicas to which you can call the company and purchase the parts need for repair.

Lesson II: There isn't a "mismatched front and rear" for there is nothing to which to base the car too. The front is a C6, but isn't. The rear bumper is a Fiero, but isn't. It has a V8Archie choptop, but doesn't look like the other 26 made. The brakes are Corvette, but brakets were specially made by D1S. The F360 mirrors are OEM, but aren't to the original specs and location for you can't go out and buy a set and mount them on.

O where to start Do u remember posting the day u got pulled over and said----
"The officer thought #011 was a Lotus when I first came down the hill. Hmm, I don't know why. He was somewhat puzzled about it being a custom kit-kar by DMV."

Looks like u just called it a "kit-kar". There realy is nothing KIT about building one.You have to do more fabricating than can be imagined,and yes that means more than you fabricate or "build" on any of your cars, I use the word build loosely in your case,and have u ever realy stoped and read-looked at your own postslook at me,look at me? And what company can I call for a part for my Replica??? Where as u can buy the Vette brakes on E-bay.Like most of the other cobbled together parts,your so proud of. And "let me seriously school you" when u have a wreck theres not a lot of cars from Lambos to Fieros that u can just go buy the part and bolt it on. Now u do have a problem with the shortcomings in your life,and to compensate it seems you have a quest to always strive for something you cant acheive.The need to reach out to other people and to beleive that u r the better person and all will strive to agree with you is a farce and a goal you can never achive. Although you might not want to admit it,it is OK not to be the center of attention. The comment made earlier about your dash and people not saying anything is true. But things like that has only reinforced the coated haze of your own self intrested world. The hate and dissent you have inside for any one who disagree with you is hard to let go. IT CAN BE REACHED THOUGH. Also when you end your posts with "hehehe" you appear to be as smart as a 9 year old child
