TCE: Your definitive source for all you Corvette Wilwood needs.
TCE lists the most popular items on our web pages for your Corvette needs. Also available; the entire Wilwood catalog of parts, kits, hydraulic needs and more.
Our 4X KITS are the most value packed options available today. You wouldn't buy only two performance tires...so why buy just two performance brakes? We believe, product has proven, and industry folks agree: doing four corners just makes sense.
*Noting the recent release of a "New Rear Kit" from a major brand. While it looks to be a fine product this same brand spent many hours and posts explaining the lack of need for such kits when their front kit are used. Rather odd. Now all of a sudden the need for a rear kit is relevant? TCE and Wilwood have been properly pairing, engineering and building front and rear kits for years. Not playing catch up and trying to build market share. We've been doing it right and successfully now for years. Why venture into confusing and unproven territory when the homework is already done: the 4X kit.
Let's be honest here; very few folks are shelling out $5000 on brake kits.... despite what might be implied. We're all looking for the best value for our money. For many drivers this can be accomplished for less than half that amount. On all four wheels.
There's no need to break the bank to brake the car...TCE has a variety of options for all levels of buyers.
Trouble plagued the TCE team on the second run Saturday where we believe we may have broken a valve spring in the 3.0L SHO motor. With no back up and no way to service this machine in the field we figured it was a bust. But with the team having two cars- the 4 and the 16 our customer was kind enough to offer up his runs in Super Sprint and move his own entry to Open Comp allowing us a fighting chance at a finish. Great teammate!
The 16 car (John Wells 2nd place Pikes Peak Super Sprint 1997) has been a team rental for two seasons now and despite my driving it around the shop I've never driven it in competition....Without much thought I put it in the show with a solid 5:43 on the first run and backed it up with a 5:28 late in the day on Saturday. This time was disallowed on a technical infraction due to running in the wrong class. But the writing was on the wall; this little car could podium with some luck.
Sunday morning has always proven a good road and this year was no different; run one had the 16 car in first place with a 5:22 and despite being a tick slower later at a 5:24 we were able to hang on to P1 and secure the teams 9th victory at Lands End! This one was hard and truly a team effort to get it all done. Couldn't be happier for all involved and for the 16 car for taking its first Win in nearly 20yrs!
TCE/Wilwood finish 3rd in Unlimited Class at Clifton Hill Climb
Coming back from last years crash on Sunday Team TCE finished a strong 3rd in the Unlimited Class at Clifton. With not one, but three CO based Open Wheel cars in competition the team faced formidable competition from both last years winner and another Wells Coyote running a massive all aluminum V8. The odds clearly favored the higher horse power cars. Despite that the team selected some super soft tires to try and make back what would be lost in top speed with pure handling. And to a great extent it worked; with the top three cars bettering last years record time. Our best a 98.9 would hold up for third but be beaten by a 96.5 and a 92.9 late in the day for the overall quick time. We simply don't have the power and speed to run those times! The winning speed caught on radar at 124mph entering the first turn was awesome for eventural winner Spencer Steele. Overall the weekend went well with our car taking five runs on Saturday and three on Sunday. The weather was excessively hot, the beer cold and the friends great!
