Now:    Let me define substance.



It should have had a dual master cylinder upgrade with those front 
disks...  which on a Corvair seems slightly odd, seeing as how 
Corvairs don't brake like most cars and thus why only do the 
fronts?     Both ends should have been upgraded to disks IMHO.    It 
also is using spacers on the hubs so as to accommodate those FWD 
blingwheels.     Not a good idea IMHO.   I'd have used different 
wheels that didn't require adapting.

A LOT could have been done with the bucks spent on those ugly-ass 
phartpipes.     They simply look out of place on this 
car.    Symbolism over substance... sorry.
I can't help but wonder what happens if you need to stop quickly in 
this car... with a single piston/bowl master cylinder and disks on 
the front.


By the way, one other thing:

Whoever did the stereo install should have known better than to mount 
amplifiers on the enclosure of a woofer, or even *close* to a woofer 
for that matter.   That's a big no-no.     I suppose they look 
pretty, all laid out alongside the woofer...  where the insides get 
rattled and component leads break from vibration, which is what kept 
me employed for several years via people doing this sort of 
thing.   ;)    Someone wasn't thinking.   Or, they simply didn't know 
or care.   And if the stereo isn't "worked", what's the point of all 
that power unless it's just for bling?     Kinda like the brakes...





...not saying it's not a nicely constructed solid car with excellent 
paint and trim etc.   I'm saying it could have been done 
better.    Money was spent on stuff that did not improve the car.
