It was my first time bleeding brembos and I totally did not bleed the inner line....

we bled the system 3 times and still Steven had no pedal feel

 

Getting the Delco stuff that replaced SM?

 

Jeff if you are doing the g2 kit, I would suggest buying some preval sprayers to apply the paint. The brushes leave brushstrokes if you look closely. Take out the pads and place a bag over the rotor and put the caliper back on and spray away. That stuff also has to dry for 24 hours before driving. Good luck on the color.

 

Yea I am going to look at a different brush. I have plenty of other stuff to do that will allow 24 hour drying time.

Just got on days off. Beer drinking time

 

Oh, and sand the shit out of the fronts. Ask me how I know

 

Yeah I will be doing that in the AM I have a couple other things to do tonight. Some smaller less tedious things.

Like take selfies

 

They're not selfies if they are pics of other guys weiners

 

Better watch what you say, I may have a picture of your weiner Matt.

 

"May"?

 

No, it was in June...

 

What a busy day.

All I have left is finish re-painting grill and installing front A-spec lip.
Then I can put my brakes back together. I am waiting on new front rotors and pads from Brakemotive.

If you are gonna paint your calipers definitely get the little aerosol can spray bottle thingy do hickies. Just make sure to buy a recharge bottle. It says they are good for 16 oz but it barely lasted 2/3 of a g2 kit.

I have a lot of shit in the mail that just won't make it here in time. Oh well, always fun having things up my sleeves.

Guess its time to sell the TL. Being how I am almost done with the mods that I am going to do to it.

I am going to have a delay in adding pictures. It will probably be after the weekend before I get a chance to load any on here. I didn't really take many pics of the process as I have somehow gotten out of that over time. But once she is cleaned up I will be posting some pictures of the finished product.

Crown Royal is delicious!!!

 

Would you consider meeting up with someone with high def photo skills to properly shoot your car finally? Your calipers are going to look amazing, Jeff.

 

Yea let me just jump in my car and drive to Miami. I will be there in 3 days.

I am gonna try and take my DSLR next week and take some pictures. It will be put back together and cleaned up.

Besides if you see it in person your marriage will suffer because you will have 2 TL's after buying mine.

 

LMAO...I didn't mean ME! I meant take good quality pictures of it no matter who!
Well, if you keep slapping pink beat up waffles on it...I ain't buying it!

 

Should I get blue waffles??

 

...again

 

So I just drained my transmission fluid. I put GM syncromesh (non friction modified) at 28k miles. I am around 45ish just under and it looked brand new still. Had a good smell to it as well.

I replaced it with 1 qt of GM sm with friction modified and 1.3 qts with non friction modified.

I was at the mercy of what the GM dealer had on hand and I had half bottle left over from last fill.

I will go with all friction modified on next drain/fill.

Can't wait for short shifter and bushings.

Calipers came out nice. Time to re dip grill and install front a spec then put back together and hopefully wash in next couple days. It has rained here the last 2 days and my alley is flooded. Plus they dug up a trench on my main way out of the alley. I can't go the other 2 ways due to being too steep and my car will get stuck (don't ask how I know) but there is one other exit but I will have to take a rake and shovel and clean the debris so that I can travel that way.

Low Life problems!

 

with the caliper color you have picked, blue waffles will look great

 

All projects finished. Just need some finishing touches and a wash.

My rear tires are showing some toe wear after roughly 5k miles and minimal camber wear.
Definitely need an alignment.

 

 

Oh shit
Looking great Jeff, wow

Amazing how this color looks awesome when you match it with great color combos

 

Thanks Meko

Carbon Bronze is just an awesome color regardless. But the Sunset Orange Metallic was a good choice. I was kind of taking a chance on it. G2 had some mixed up and were running out. It was between this and Inferno Orange Metallic. The sunset was a shade darker and I wanted something that was colorful yet not as loud.

I know right, coming from the same guy that had hot pink rims. But that was more for fun and boredom. This is more permanent.

 

 

need more low


Looks SEXY Jeff....so when do we get to see it in person ?

 

Compared both...
For my taste, Inferno is more like a solid color which would go great with White, Black cars.

Sunset has more deep color into it, it's dark but the metallic makes the color stand out. Just like Carbon Bronze

Haha still have the pink ones too I guess...

Are you going to correct the camber? If yeah, will have to agree with Anil. Lower

 

Anil was kidding...the car is as low as it needs to be...maybe a spacer in the rear to make it more flush.

 

Meko, the guy is scraping the mud flaps on the highway

 

My car looks lower and why you guys keep telling me to go lower
Hahaha

 

coz we like fuqqing with people we like

 

I am lowering ONLY the rear one more thread to equal the height
after that will see. If no like, will drop both front and rear one more

Jeff,go lower bro what the hell

 

MAX IT OUT !!!

YOLO baby !!!

 

Well, 2 thread left for rear anyway
Yeah yeah yolo, right, you know the yellow e28 friend has, he cracked the shit out of the oil tank last week

 

YOLO is a dumb kids excuse for doing stupid shit haha....

well some folks who are maxed out on teins will take 1 lower ring out, this gives another ~0.25" of drop

 

The ONLY people that should be yelling out "YOLO" and doing stupid sh*t is people over 80.

Meko...I'm maxed and I regret it NOT at all.

 

I have an alignment scheduled for Friday. I am going to fix the rear camber. It was supposedly at -1.5 when I had it adjusted last. The front was at -1.2 but the rear looks way more cambered.

Either way, I will get everything corrected this week.

Fronts are maxed low on ISC's. I am hoping the rear will come up a little with the fixed camber and my stance should be exactly how I want it.

I did have to take the mud flaps off though before the a spec kit due to dragging the on the highway here and there.

Stiffer springs may help some of the problem as well though.

Anil, come on down to NM and you can look at the car in person.

 

You putting stickers on the front brembos or leaving them naked? I might have a couple of black stickers I can mail you if you want em.

 

I have brembo and acura stickers but I am leaving them naked for the time being.

 

Hmmm.......naked Brembos.

 

Amazing what a couple of peen pictures will get you for free!

 

When you have to put a peen pic on an 8x10 because a 4x6 won't fit. Then you get free shit!!
