I've got alot to do before may 16 when I make the coastal voyage.

I am also thinking of some sort of brake upgrade on the CD. I am generally pretty easy on brakes 100km or more on pads usually(I think the pads on my 89 Caprice are original). I drive fast when the roads are clear, but I like a lotta room in front of me, and I use the engine to do most of my braking.
Still I have that 2.47 diff in this car and when I get a little more maintenance and tuning done on it I want to borrow a GPS and open her up to see what the top end is. -And vehicles that go fast need to be able to stop fast. (learned that building choppers back when it didn't look cool to have front brakes cluttering up the front wheel
)
