Never tried dude!

MrOtocinclus

This thread's like a car accident... I know I shouldn't look but I can't help myself.

Mr. NC

Nobody likes dangerous driving

i heard one of the biggest source of acne is oil that gets deposited in your pillow, so if you sleep with a fresh towel over your pillow every night itll eliminate that oil from seeping back into your pores and clogging them. Supposedly it works better than even proactive

Mr. NC

365 different towels a year...ain't nothing but a G'Thang

TSXKid2010

But my pillow feels good ):

I'll keep that in mind though!!

I feel like this acne discussion made me loose all my credibility.

KillerG

Do you not own a washing machine man?

You never had any you scrub

Wow... I honestly wont be surprised if this becomes one of those threads that goes viral and stuff. Straight up people...dont frikken drive on public roads at these speeds. There is NO justification, no matter how well you know the roads. And Modesto, just cause your brakes were okay the last time you went 120mph, doesnt mean next time will always be the same. And if you were being serious when you said "fuck you" to everybody...then your just really really immature and kind of a dick. Do you know how many threads you posted with questions and this community helped you. Man this thread is crazy lol

Mr. NC

Real G's move silent like Lasagna...ooops wrong context...nah I prefer to live the conspicuous consumption lifestyle

Real talk after this thread...NO-ONE will ever try yellow calipers ever again

MrOtocinclus

Honestly, yellow calipers might not be so bad if they were DONE RIGHT. A: Sprayed the whole damn thing, B: showed only close up pics. So, in essence, both the actual paint job plus the presentation of the thread were doomed from the start.

Regarding ACNE, you guys don't forget diet makes a huge difference. Eat less hamburgers, burritos, french fries, etc. Drink less soda. Eat more salads and vegetables. Less acne.

Oh, and DRINK MILK, right Mr. NC?

KillerG

I just wanna inject some seriousness here, stock brake lines are made from rubber and as rubber is an elastic material it is subject to Bwear and tear just like most other components of the car, and while i havent fully researched the topic, it is not a stretch of theR imagination to assume that by covering part of the brake line in caliper paint you are inducing unnatural levels of stress onto that section and over time thisE effect may compound and lead to a rupturing of the break line. Now if anyone with more expertise on the matter would like toA chime in, please be my guest.SI also don't expect them to break anytime soon, but just keep it in considerationT that it may be a factor later on in the life of your carS

Mr. NC

Milk is key MrOtocinclus helps build strong bones and helps you grow

Nicely said KillerG I approve

MrOtocinclus

My concern was mostly the rubber parts in the brake assembly, and the lubrication of the parts. You've got the caliper pin boots, and the caliper piston boot. Who knows what the paint will do to those rubber parts? Then, you're basically replacing your lubes with dried paint. It's probably unlikely, but it could cause something to seize up, and then... back to page 1.

TSXKid2010

Mr. Oto,Ii think thatLon a car styledilike the TSX, yellowkwouldn't go withethe overall mood of the car,Byou know? Just like onlyocertain cars (i.e. Lambo,oFerrari, Porche, Lexus LFA, etc.) can pull off yellow paint, whereas it would lookbstupid, like a taxi stupid, on a carssuch as the TSX? I believe that is is the case with these brakes as well.

That too as well with the acne, stay away from oily food guys!!

KillerG

the yellow wouldve been nice if it were bronze instead and went with a matching bronze lip on some rims or something. urine yellow is just like woah, my eyes are bleeding after going back to page 1.

and yeah i have a really oily diet i need to lose weight or girls will never like me

MrOtocinclus

Yes, agreed, the yellow will never work on the TSX.

Did some more research and here's what will happen when the caliper pin boots break, and the caliper pin lube dries/runs out: the brakes will no longer disengage when you let go of the pedal (sort of like the issue that caused the brake settlement) and if it's serious you'll basically be driving with your foot on the brakes all the time. That equals heat and if bad enough brake fluid boils and byebye brakes. Also, brakes and gas at the same time will kill your torque converter if you're AT.

Modesto, all hate aside, you should atleast consider and acknowledge some of the useful info being posted in this thread.

KillerG

yeah, it would really help with your acne situation

pbhak002

bronze would actually look very good on a TSX. Dude its our culture to eat oily food. We cant help it. lol

Mr. NC

I stole this idea from the VIP guys but a metallic color with sparkle kinda looks cool...depends on the rim tho as well

TSXKid2010

i think that the brakes depends on the wheels...just yellow wouldn't go with any wheels. I think I may go with a dark blue colour, but not sure if it would look alrite, eiher that or red, i'm going with a white/blue theme though

pbhak002

Im going with classy look so ill probably go with silver, once i can afford brembo brakes. lol Or i can be cheap and buy brembo decals ROFL lol

Mr. NC

Dark blue = Endless brakes bro!

Just promise it isn't a white/baby blue combo cuz that would be epic

Wait I lie if you can pull it off more power to you

KillerG

Dont forget your VTEC stickers boys

TSXKid2010

Yeah i was thinking Endless brakes!!

But I was thinking like a darker blue. BluexWhite is amazing. Gotta keep it classy though...

pbhak, you got one of the classiest colours to get too!

Mr. NC

Endless brakes are navy...any darker than that and thats practically black no?

pbhak since you got the rose colour bronze would be dope me thinks...or a high polish #WINNING

KillerG

flaked silver would also look flawless on basque red

TSXKid2010

Oh is it? I thought they were like teal! LOL! Then i guess i'm going with them! Plus Endless looks cooler the Brembo on the brakes. Chick will be all over me LOL

Nice, I come back and the thread is back on topic.
GJ fellas.

pbhak002

thats gonna be a hard fine killer. lol If u find it let me know, ill be saving up for them. Just blew what i had saved up on tint, and clearing amber. lol

KillerG

you gonna paint your calipers or BBK ?

Mr. NC

Project MU is teal in color now thats a dope set of brakes right there....

TSXKid2010

Man I need sponsors....PARENT SPONSORS.

pbhak002

idk, but i prefer BBK, cuz i heard painted calipers like chip from and look cheap. lol

KillerG

over time yeah. they need repaints occasionally. but bbk = 1,500 and paint = 15

modesto992

Why dont you guys stop assuming shit.. my dad lost his job on August 25th 2010. Now both of my parents are out of the job. I race my dads car to make extra cash for the house. So no my parents wont pay for my accident. It comes out of my wallet. I caddy all spring and summer long. So why dont you guys all go and fuck off. You have no idea what any of us are like behind a comp. So go assume that my dad will pay for shit. Even though he got fired from working at a company for 30yrs + for being the President and CEO.

SO EVERYONE!!!!! GO FUCK YOURSELFS!!!!!!!!!

TSXKid2010

BBK is also safer! You don't hafta worry bout getting paint on the brake pads and plastic and all that...

pbhak002

lol i would paint it only if i knew what i was doing. (someone make a DIY) lol Maybe in the summer,Killer . For BBK i think i would need bigger rims to lol so ill have to wait and get a better job, and save even more.

KillerG

yeah youll need BBK clearance for sure. Also i think our calipers are stock silver anyway no?

we would have to properly know how to disassemble the assembly to paint it properly, but it also requires special tools, so i doubt alot of us will go the distance on it
