Kicking it up a notch! ZZPerformance style
Well, I finally did it. I stopped by ZZ Performance last week, and dropped a bundle.
List includes:
F-body dual piston aliminum caliper kit
Stainless brake lines
Strut tower brace - ZZP, black
Poly motor mounts, red
180 deg thermostat
NGK TR6IX Iridium spark plugs
3" 304 stainless downpipe w/ Magnaflow cat'
3.4"pulley
Throttle body spacer
72mm throttle body
Now I just got to find the time to get it all on.
Of course Hawk HPS pads are going on.
The caliper mounts are to be powdercoated black, and the calipers silver {red is too showy, not subtle).
Thinking about CNC'ing a bowtie onto the face of the calipers before coating, then filling with red. What do you all think about that idea?
Next item purchased will be ZZP's new polished die-cast aluminum valve covers. $250/pair. I seen them, but they aren't available yet, or I would've grabbed them. Maybe when I go back for the re-programming.

RE: Kicking it up a notch! ZZPerformance style
I definitally Like the Idea of cnc'in the bowtie, if you have the oppertunity, I would do the bowtie, and put Monte carlo just underneath it.
Man If I had one of those machines Id have a lot more done to the monte, like I would do some nice alluminum.. I dont know what they are.. When you open the door and look down on the doorsill, there is a part that says monte carlo.

CNC'd bow-tie in the F-body calipers
Well, I finally got the bow-ties engraved into the calipers. he pic's are only so-so, but you can see them clearly. They are on 10deg, as the calipers sit at 10deg, also. Bowties should be almost level when mounted. They are 1 1/4" long and .020 deep. Calipers and brackets are getting polished and powder coated a durable silver, and the bowties filled with red caliper paint.
Unique.

Hi Wayne,
Those engravedbrake caliber's are awesome. You sure do detailed work on your
SS, and it shows great. It's another reason that you are a winner of the
Forum's Monte Carloof the Month .
I really enjoy reading your posts, and letting us know everything you are
doing to your Monte. It's all in the details, and WoW, are you doing some
great detailed `Mod's. You & Keegan bring a lot of super `Mod information to
the MCF. I appreciate you taking the time to post/share your experience, knowledge
with the members. I keep learning everytime I visit.
EnJoy your work, EnJoy your Awesome Monte Carlo,
