Wilwood


D8-6 Front Caliper



D8-6 front calipers are a direct bolt-on 6 piston replacement for the OE factory 4 piston front calipers on all 1965-82 Corvettes. Forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons, and high temperature seals put an end to the rust, bore pitting, and seal failures that plague the original cast iron caliper design. 


D8-6 calipers mount in the stock location over stock rotors and use the original type D8 brake pads. These calipers fit inside 1967 and later production steel rally wheels and most of the later model alloy wheels. Original steel “JK” code wheels from 1965-66, and some aftermarket alloy replica wheels, will requires a 3/16” or thicker wheel spacer for clearance.   



D8-6 calipers use the same overall piston volume as the original calipers, but with the added benefit of differential bores. Differential bores counteract pad taper in high temperature racing and the 6 piston design offer greater pad support. Other than a new flexline with an 1/8”-27 NPT end for the new aluminum caliper, no other changes such as master cylinder output or front to rear bias adjustment are necessary.   



D8-6 calipers are the product of Wilwood’s in-house FEA design and 3-D modeling technology.With its unyielding strength and superior piston design,the D8-4 generates positive pedal response and high clamping efficiency with a substantial weight savings.

Renault Laguna Coupe (2008): first pictures

Sat, 24 May 2008

By Ben Pulman First Official Pictures 24 May 2008 21:00 How do you add a dash of pizzazz to the underwhelming looks of the Laguna saloon? Renault’s answer - in the shape of the new Laguna Coupe - seems like a good one: lop off two doors, drop in a 3.5-litre V6 from the Nissan 350Z and garnish with your own four-wheel steer system. Make the car shorter and wider than the saloon and then get your imposing Lebanese CEO to drive it around the Cannes Film Festival.

New Aston Martin Vanquish: The 2013 Vanquish officially arrives

Wed, 20 Jun 2012

The new Aston Martin Vanquish has officially arrived with sharp new looks, more power, less weight and a bigger price tag.  AM may not have been thrilled, but we all knew the AM310 from Villa D’Este was dusting off a moniker from Aston’s recent past to become the new Aston Martin Vanquish. And here it is – officially. In Aston’s best Porsche imitation, the DBS evolves in to the Vanquish without tampering too heavily with its looks, as AM310 already demonstrated.

Jeep Renegade (2014) first official pictures

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

By Ollie Kew First Official Pictures 04 March 2014 05:01 This is the Jeep Renegade. It’s based on the Fiat 500L, uses several of Fiat’s engines, and is built at Fiat’s Melfi plant in Italy. You’d expect, then, that it’s merely an about-town crossover in off-road fancy dress.
