Race Star Rear 15x10" Fitment - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

DaGerdMan · 01-29-2014, 10:08 PM

Hey guys, just bought a set of Race Stars. 17x4.5 in the front direct drills, and 15x10 for the rear direct drills. I am wondering if this is the correct brake line kit to use in order to not have to grind anything.

Also I will be running a 275/60r15 Hoosier D.O.T. radial. I am going to be rolling the fenders. Is there anything else I should know about so I don't have a bunch of surprises when the car comes out of storage and race season is supposed to be starting?!

Thanks!

Off topic...do you Vortech guys have any issues with belts?? (BTW Kurgan did my tune..did you bring the car all the way to GA??).

I haven't had any issues with my belt yet. knock on wood. Kurgan comes up to Illinois a couple times a year to tune out of Deans Performance in Saint Charles so I caught him both times while he was in town. He is actually from Chicago area so he is a legend around here. First time from the V3 I bought from him. Second time for the Fore Innovations return fuel system. He got unbelievable numbers out of my car. Getting over 560 RWHP but I had him back it off as I still have the stock bottom end.

thanks man! Make sure when that belt on it is not walking around at all. that can cause issues and I know how big of a pain it is to change a belt with a vortech blower! Good Luck with that!

You'll see the difference in clearence once you get the kit. I had to grind down the top of the calipers to clear the wheels.

I figured that would have to be done as well!

I had to grind the hell out of my caliper bolts(banjo bolts) to get my 15x10 7.25bs they clear the calipers just barley.

Same thing I had to do to my 15x10 racestars. I think mine had a 7.5 backspace.
