brakes



well i believe it is time to put some brakes on the vette i think i am going to replace the brakes with some better perfomance brakes from summit racing i will use cross drilled and slotted rotors as well as a better than oe pad some thing along a hawk pad i think will be good, i will aslo drain all of the old brake fluid and replace it with d.o.t 4 fluid it has a higher boiling point wich is always a plus and will cost about 3 more dollars to replace than d.o.t 3, today i noticed that the oil pressure dropped to about 60 psi at idle when the engine is warm i am not realy worried about this seeing that it was sitting above 80 psi when i bought the car so i changed the oil and it looked ok, and the new oil looks ok so i am guessing that i have a bad oil pressure sensor on this car this is not uncommon on these engines and they are cheap to replace so i will be buying a oil pressure sensor also and i will replace it when i get my next oil change done in about 2000 miles
