Dang Morgan, I didn't even know I could make those adjustments at the wheel! I would have done it when I swapped the rotors.

Let me see if I can find the pic of the aspecs with the blue gorilla locks (I never had the works on the aspecs).

Yea, if your rear rotors popped off without a fight, then you needed to adjust them at the rotors.

Thanks Ty...not feeling UBER creative right now, so my editing is kinda lackluster. I haven't cleaned my car in almost 2 weeks...oh well, Sofla weather!

That first shot is killer! Nice work. Having the rear side markers white instead of red actually looks better than I thought it would. Hmm...

Thanks John...honestly man...I had put the type S's back on for a bit...but after a while, I felt like the 5k white looked kinda alone up front...with both of them white when you look at the side of the car it looks uniform and helps with the modded look. Figured, we have em, might as well rock em!

If these 6k ones are 6k ones...and they signal properly as they appear to...they will be my next mod too.

RIGHT after my next mod that is currently in the mail...but I'm keeping that ninja status for now till I figure out if I want it and it works out.

UD, thank you brother...I can't wait for you to get them either...going to be awesome!

Again, I'm stunned...I thought we were shitting on Tyler's thread now!!!
Doing some research but I'm pretty set on getting a lightweight crank pulley, any of you fellas running one?!? I just ordered the crank pulley tool...I'm hoping mine isn't too hard to remove. I also need to find a good deal on one.

Yeah, brother...I put the Jpipe back on and decided there are a small handful of mods that I consider "non invasive" as far as taking the motor apart etc. So I'm going for it...ironically, I'm still driving chill as fk...but the idea that the car will move more effortlessly and the idea that I'll HAVE that power there for quick acceleration here and there is tempting to me.

What's your opinion on the Ralco brand one?!? I want the stock sized one...since I have the system. Ack can get it for me for $155 shipped, I believe. Also, did you install yourself?!

I would not trust any other brand....well not heard good or bad things but since the crank pulley spins all the time, i wudnt not trust a cheap brand....there are things i cheap out on and things i dont cheap out on

and this will certainly give you a lot of get up and go....

and yes i installed the pulley myself with the help of Sean (Buda)
