Like your videos ! I have a 99 identical to yours. I ordered PRC 225 heads, Magic stick v.4 cam,Fast LSX 92mm Intake, Nick Willams 92mm Throttle body,Bosch 42lb LS1 Injectors. Already had SLP long tube headers and a K&N ram air filter. Put it all together and got 470hp to my tires in the little LS1 It came with ! Im 61 and its a lot of fun !!
thanks for telling us which size wrench to use im doing alot of the same mods, and having those tools already pulled from the tool box and on the work care is saving so much time love the ws6 keep them coming
Brotha man now that was a straight forward installation. I appreciate companies that make bolt on kits without having to modify anything. I'll be doing this swap on my 00 WS6. Thanks for another awesome video!!!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos. I recently purchased an 02 collector ws6 manual (in the UK), and having no previous experience with these cars I’m finding your videos the most helpful on the web. I’ve only worked on mustangs in the past, but I’m so obsessed with the Trans Am, always wanted one! I’m going for a staggered set of Torque Thrust M wheels and also looking at this exact brake kit from RockAuto, so thanks again for the video! Your header videos will help me a lot too. It’s a shame you can’t do a manual clutch master cylinder swap and bleeding video, that’s on my list of jobs now. All the best :)
Just found your page and love the videos. I picked up an 02 ws6 up two years ago now have 60k on it and bone stock. Looking to do a lot of the same upgrades and these videos are perfect and detailed
Love your videos especially the f body ones. I just did something similar to my Trans am. You did a great job, my only suggestion would be when I did my rotors I sprayed them with a high temp clear coat with ceramic after I cleaned them with brake cleaner. It will keep the rotors from rusting where the pads do not contact them. Keeps them looking brand new. Hate see you do all the work then your rotors start rusting 6 months from now. I learned the hard way.
@@TWAMotorsports Your welcome. That's good I must have a cheaper version without the zinc coating. I don't even drive my car in the rain it was just from washing it.
Hey great vid! 1 improvement - shop manual says to bleed starting at the inner abs port, then the forward abs port, and then each wheel starting farthest away :)
This kit didn't fit my 4th gen camaro, but thanks to you I was able to find a kit on Amazon that did (without the calipers) & got it for $200, thanks man what a steal!!
I'm installing LS1 Brakes on my 1968 Camaro. Your video answers many questions as I don't have a working setup for reference. Thanks for taking the time to show this in detail. BTW I'm using "Powerstop" components as well.
Great video! Idea for ya, do a video for a wire upgrade on the slow windows in these! That would be excellent if you could, because I need to do this soon. Very annoying
I recently stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago & have been fallowing up on your videos, You have some very beautiful cars. Ive always had a soft spot for the Trans Ams, I recently had a C6 Z51 that I regretfully have lost due to a major car dealership being shut down/sued by Ford. I have drove many muscle cars & nothing could ever compare to the Corvette. The handling, Styling, performance, The love a few manage to acquire while owning such cars. I envy your Zr1 lol but then again I am glad you are an owner of a ZR1 & are able to upload & show us great content with such an amazing car. Ive been thinking alot of what car i would love to get next & I have been thinking a lot on the WS6 however, My only downfall to that is being an older car, Straight out of the box they are not able to compete/keep up with modern cars now a days so there for id have to really invest into beefing her up if I were to go that route. I enjoy your videos to the extent on how you show step by step tutorials as well as giving unseen pointers ((example as to how you mention torque specs & little things like applying grease to back sides of pads & loctite ect ect)) I give you a massive thumbs up for posting the links you do to help show which products & other products available on each job you do. Congrats man, I look forward to see how far your "Wickedly Sick" ws6 comes along as well as fallowing that bad girl ZR1 you have there!! Love the videos, please keep them up!
Thank you very much. I love that kind of feedback. Good luck on your search. Keep in mind a mildly modified ls1 car can hang with a lot of new stuff. 👍
I have a 2000 WS6 with little over 120,000 on it and I just made a kid in a charger cry last weekend and took his money. And yes I mean real tears n shit like we were racing for pinks. Calling me a cheater and said I heard your bottle. I'm not sure if my car has any mods I don't think so other than the exhaust n I put new tires on it this year. The first owner died and his son didn't know much about it. Anyway I'm still turning heads and kickin' ass in mine but I show her a lot of love too that helps. 🐱
When removing the rotor's if you want to install them back on the car you can also use a dead blow hammer, so that way you won't damage the rotor & you can re-use. great video
I was hoping you were going to go with a big brake kit or maybe a CTS-V rotor/caliper retrofit. The rotors on the 4th gens just look so tiny compared to modern cars.
Hey big guy,...I'm having a hard time deciding if I want a turbocharger on my 98 Firebird v6. I want the horsepower, but everything I watch a video on how to do it, they skip around to much, won't show how they hook it to a stock 3.8 intake,...or speak in an accent I can't complete understand. You are ( by far) the best of the net, when it comes to explanation of the Gen four. Please help me,...my husband says it's embarrassing to be around his friends with it. Thank you.
I have a 95 Z28 with the later SS or (older ZR1 wheels **) and have been looking to redo my brakes while my car is down. As a matter of fact, I have a leak where the line bolts to the caliper on front driver's location. Hopefully this would remedy my problem while improving my stopping power and appearance. Yours looks great!!
Nice! My 2002 SS is like yours, but T-Top (like your T/A) and not a convertible. I learn lots of tips from watching your videos (and I sure like that EXACT ZR1). But when it comes time to have your brakes replaced, will this use the same pads as stock, or will they be difficult to source? Say you took it to a brake shop - would they be confused?
Did you have any issues with banjo bolts leaking at calipers after changing them? On some of my past Firebird projects when changing brake hoses or calipers had issues with banjo bolts sealing to new caliper etc. Took few times tightening and really putting alot of torque on them to get no leaks. More torque than I felt comfortable with. Was kind of scared of stripping them out. That would have been bad. Pro tip:reuse old washers to get better sealing than the new ones they come with. , Also always buy brake fluid with metal can never plastic bottle. Plastic is semi porous and moisture migrates in much faster than a metal can does. You want zero moisture in your brake fluid.
I did have a leak at first. I also had to really tighten to get them sealed. Same issue with every brake line I have ever had. Good info on the brake fluid. Mine was in a metal container.
Great video man. How much of a difference from stock do you notice? Id like to upgrade my 01 WS6 brakes and this looks like a great way to go about it!
I noticed big improvement from adding cross drilled slotted rotors ebc pads on my firehawk. Especially when decelerating from 140 mph down to 35 mph. Did note some brake fluid boiling so I need to replace all if it soon with fresh fluid throughout.
Great videos! Question: Was there any clearance issues with the TT2 front wheels and the new brakes? I have been having trouble finding brake upgrade kits due to the TT2 wheel and I don't want to run spacers.
@@TWAMotorsports Very nice to come across these videos on your ws6. I’m planning on doing alot of the stuff you’ve already done. So far I have the TSP 1 7/8” headers and full exhaust installed. Also swapped out intakes with a FAST92 and matching throttle body as well as the SLP air box. I’ve been wanting to do the brakes and the TORQ THRUST 2s for a while. The exact set up you have. Maybe I missed the video but did you have to make any fittment mods for the rear tires besides installing the panhard bar?
Thats awesome man. I ordered the exact kit and just got it in. Im going to take it to my brothers sometime this week and install it. Are they still doing well?
@@TWAMotorsports glad to hear that. Honestly I was hesitant to buy these z23 kit, read that many saying the drilled rotors tend to crack with time plus the noisy pads from power stop!
First two vids I’ve watched were great do you have any ideas about headlights and fog lights? I have 2000 ws6 and I’d like to upgrade my lighting if possible.
Silly question. My rotors are shot and was planning on doing this upgrade to get better calipers as well. Putting it away for winter storage in 2 months. Should I wait for spring? I hate thinking about new rotors sitting, possibly rusting but the pulsing is bad and it is nice knowing it'll be ready in the spring.
@@TWAMotorsports Yeah I had to replace mine recently. When the traction control kicks in, you can feel the gas pedal being pushed back. With the constant pressure of your foot, I think over time it just wears out the sensor.
Just found this page, great vids. I myself own a 1998 Trans Am and I love the wheels you got, may I ask what is your wheels and tires set up? Size, width and all? Thanks 🙏
TWA Motorsports I guess I haven’t got to that video yet, this video popped up in my feed, then I subscribed and now I’m going all the way back to see from the beginning.
So besides looks and maybe a better pad do these have any better clamping force? Are the pistons bigger? Was considering doing. a ctsv caliper and rotor upgrade on my 2002. Are
Hey question I have the same car you have. Can you tell me or give me an idea of how to reinstall my streering wheel. I watch all your shows and they have been a big help. What a bad ass streering when with airbag accessibility and Horn I noticed on some of the video some people cut their airbag wires in the horn wires I don't quite understand that but I would like to install a different steering wheel opposite than the Pontiac Firebird steering wheel and excuse my language. I need some advice on who would be a great parts place to buy the steering wheel I would like to have for this vehicle with airbag and Horn hookup or something close to the airbag with the Pontiac Sunfire it being a older model my car is a 99 Pontiac Firebird.
TWA Motorsports Thanks for the video because I never looked up the cost but I bet the upgrades I mentioned are a lot. At the moment I just broke 25k (mileage) and am shopping prices for brakes. I hope you have a great rest of the day 🚗 ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ nice firebird btw!
