Powell Race Parts.com. a little better but the web site is still not what we want. someday lol

 

Just wondering what has taking so long to get a site up and running? Im not trying to be an ass or anything it just seems it ahouldnt take this long to get the website setup.

 

its up and runnng. Ecommerce is not, and some of the links are not working.
It was done by a close racing buddy for free, and its hard to beat up on him and say " gotta hand it over to someone else to get it finished" coz he is a good friend and a nice guy, so thats the answer. Doesnt make it easier,and now you know. I am just as happy to deal with emails and talk to people but I agree its frustrating.

 

hopefully the links and all the pics and wut not work soon id lik to see sum of the products

 

sayyy wuuutttT??

 

i would lik the links to work...so i can see all the products on the site and maybe a description of them like ZZP has....

 

Lol was wondering the same thing the other day...any idea how much the rear sway bars are?

 

240 for the hardcore and 275 for xXx....

 

What exactly does a floating rotor entail?and what good is a bottom hinged gas pedal to the stock one?

 

floating rotors are race rotors mounted to a "hat" with special hardware "bobbins" that allow the rotor to "float" to avoid warping between the hat and the rotor surface.

stock 26 mm rotor

floating grand am style BBK LSJ 28 mm cobalt rotor


Powell hardcore floating rotor, 28 mm LNF




Corvette Brembo floating rotor


why drilled rotors suck

bottom hinged gas pedals provide improved ergonomics, so when depressing the brake pedal and simultaneously "blipping" the gas pedal to match revs on the downshift, a more precise braking and "blip" is achieved. The arc of the gas pedal is better, and there is no space between the bottom of the gas pedal pad ( as in the stock location) so there is little or no chance of missing the gas pedal with your foot.

If you check out serious drivers car like Ferrari Porsche BMW etc you will generally find pendant brake and clutch pedal mounting and bottom hinged gas pedals.

 

I think most people would be okay with emailing Gloria for prices and Paypal works well for that. The problem is knowing what goodies you guys have. Probably just a single site with a cut and paste of the info and pics you post in the various forums is all that is needed. I bet most people didn't know you had made front spindle ducts but it's a pretty cool peice.

 

I have written the stuff taken the pictures, just waiting to get it on the site. its true. a big issue right now. working on it.

 

What are the prices for the two

 

I don't mean to turn this into a Powell Race Shop pricing thread, but since you're here..

How much for those LNF rotors and will they fit with the stock calliper locations? I honestly forget the size of the stock LNF rotors so I appologize if this is a stupid question.. lol

 

^^This guy knows how to clear a room!

 

they are direct replacement, but as they are 2mm thicker (need mass for better braking) the steel pad shims may need to be left out if installing new pads on new rotors. These things last a long time I got 3 seasons on mine.
900 for a pair. 300 a rotor replacement ( hats and bobbins last for ever)

 

Is that per rotor or replacement pair for $300?

 

a pair. 150 each. sorry.

 

Hey John. Since you're a supporting vendor, can't you just make a thread over in the supporting vendors section until the site is sorted out? Since you have all of the pictures and descriptions just introduce yourself and your company along with what you offer, pics, descriptions, prices shipped (Canada and US) and contact information for ordering.

It could be something like this (basically copied and pasted from your site):


Powell Race shop is a PROUD sponsor of CobaltSS.net.

We produce custom made, limited production, hardcore race developed parts for performance automobiles - particularly for the ‘delta’ platform Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion Redline, the “Y” car and C6 Chevrolet Corvette. Our parts are created in response to requests and needs – customers wishing better handling and braking – or our desire to improve vehicle performance for racing. Sometimes the limitations imposed by racing regulations make us search for “stock appearing” ways to make our cars better. Sometimes Time Attack style unlimited regulations create the freedom for us to dream up totally new parts. These are all parts that our customers can use, to enjoy a simpler, less expensive and more effective street, auto x or track day vehicle.

We do believe that performance improvements should be cost effective, and that the money you spend with us for parts or technical sevice should provide you with satisfaction, and deliver the improvements you desire.

Some of our parts are for "track use only" and are high maintenance, or provide marginal performance improvement unless installed as a compliment to other changes. We will state that in the parts description. We do update and improve existing parts we produce based on customer feedback.

While parts of our website are under construction, here is a list of the products we offer:

If the website was up then i could have just placed my order and when they was not busy they could have processed it and ship me the part.
