SD Shelby Valve Cover For Sale
I have a 1987 Shelby Valve cover for sale, it had two cracks on the back corners. But I had it professionally welded, and power coated, you can't even notice where the cracks were. I am looking to get $200+shipping for it. I can get pics as well (it has never been put on a car since the new powder coating, so it looks perfect) thanks - Find your next car at Yahoo!

RE: SD E brake cables
The drilled rotors won't help you. They reduce the surface area of the rotors, less surface area for the brake pads to grab onto and most drilled rotors will develop stress cracks around the drilled holes. So you'll spend lots of money for potentially less braking performance and shorter longevity. However, the slots do help though as they'll reduce the amount of glazed (highly polished brake pad surfaces due to improper pad bedding and warm up procedures) brake material. The issue with the SRT4/Neon front suspension components on our cars is that it makes the already bad bump steer problems on these cars worse. Making the car feel unsettled and almost twitchy when the suspension moves up an down. Not something that I'd want at 95mph going into turn one at the track. I think you'd be better off just making the necessary adapter brackets to install Wilwood or Brembo calipers that are properly sized for your application. BTW, all of the Neon rotors are a direct fit. So are the axles I believe as are the hubs and bearings (for the later bolt-in bearing cars), though I'd need to confirm that as its just what I've heard from others.

I beg to differ because I've ran cross drilled/slotted rotors on my 93 Celica for 4 years and I beat the hell out of it.. (Stock wheels on it and soon after did the brakes stripped the paint and stickers off and hit em with a silver) previous owner..

I sold it about 3 years ago to a neighbor and I've done a brake job on it for him sence.. the zink coating looks as new as the day I installed em. (on the non friction surfaces) Now the cheapo ones can and most likely will have stress cracks around the cross drilled holes and i've had that happen first hand.I saw a advertisment on _www.solo2.org_ (http://www.solo2.org) while browsing the forum and had the cd/s brembros for a dam good price so I jumped on it.. Tell me of your actual experiences with cross drilled, slotted rotors or is that just speculation? Im not jumpin on ya.. Im just curious is all:) what brands did you use?
