MightyMike Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Besides working on the car, I drive it frequently on our beautiful Colorado roads. The last three photos were taken by Shane (xcarguy). http://i68.tinypic.com/a2xb2s.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/2w49u9t.png http://i68.tinypic.com/16hl1n9.png http://i65.tinypic.com/2enbznq.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcarguy Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yep, with my job taking me to Denver occasionally, Mike and I have been able to get together every now and then. Last week, he took me out for a ride along what has to be some of the best 7-ish roads in America. And the scenery is stunning. But, Mike, who’s the goober riding with you? :jester: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 And why is Mike frowning on such a beautiful day while out driving the Storker??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMike Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) And why is Mike frowning on such a beautiful day while out driving the Storker??? I was either concentrating or reacting to one of Shane’s farts. Edited August 5, 2018 by MightyMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusaNostra Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Very nice project and insane mighty mike V8. I like to do the same project. I was trying to buy a salvage 2014 NISSAN GTR engine but the owner will not separate the transmission. I don't need the transmission because it's 4 wheel drive. I want to try V6 much lighter than LS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaximander Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I was either concentrating or reacting to one of Shane’s farts. Mike, If you think Shane's farts are bad in your Storker, just think about flight crew issues where I have heard that his co-pilot has lost consciousness on a couple of occasions from the noxious fumes! Even Suave has been squaking Shane's farts in the garage where he is known to hang out. BTW, every time that I see more pictures of your Stalker, I marvel at how absolutely beautiful #159 is. And with the LS3 engine in the Colorado mountains, the power and performance must be intoxicating. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMike Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) My Storker will be stopping on a dime in no time. Actually, installing these monster brakes is my upcoming winter project. Wilwood six piston calipers / 12.19" rotors up front and two piston / 11.5" in the rear. http://i63.tinypic.com/b5g0ok.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/vws4dd.jpg Edited August 31, 2018 by MightyMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Mike, Do those rear calipers have provisions for an emergency brake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMike Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 They do not. Likely going with these... https://ipsco.org/Custom%20Services/Parking%20Brake.htm That stated, I'm in no rush as I have never needed a hand brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMike Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Okay, I couldn't wait until winter to start on my brake project. I messed up the rotor grease seal on the passenger front side, so I am sidelined for a couple of days. If any Stalker owners are interested in buying my old front/rear disc brake setup, shoot me a PM. http://i67.tinypic.com/x396hx.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/66azjt.jpg http://i64.tinypic.com/xeetqw.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/14c40pj.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMike Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) I recently put on some new tires and wheels. Enkei RPF1s, 17x9 front/17x10 rear. Tires are Toyo R888R 255/40-17 and 275/40-17s. http://i68.tinypic.com/11ju9nk.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/2hzqrlv.jpg Edited June 16, 2019 by MightyMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comley Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Mike, I see from these photos and from your Stalker gallery that you've wrapped your headers. How has that worked out for you? I'm thinking about doing mine and so I'm looking for insight. The frame rail above the headers gets quite hot on #27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMike Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) I wrapped the headers to keep under bonnet temps down. To that end, the wrap really helps. The headers also have ceramic coating. As far as the frame rail goes, I applied DEI reflect-a-gold tape to the inside and bottom of the rail. http://i63.tinypic.com/2hyc6lx.jpg Edited July 6, 2019 by MightyMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
