thanks jamie!

thanks guys

alright over the weekend i did i few things i've been putting off for a while.

installed progress RSB to stiff setting. love this mod...noticed a difference in handling immediately.





installed front camber kit...that was fun.

had to torch off the old ones...





and repainted my brembo calipers lexus starfire pearl (thanks murph ) and applied a CF brembo decal overtop.















also finished up my audio system, for the most part...i just need some longer RCA's, speaker wire, and ground wire. shouldn't take more than a 1/2 hour to run the new wire. i'll post pics of that later. thanks for your help dave!

looks nice!!

makes me want to install those slotted rotors i have...after seeing your drilled and slotted rotors looking back through your wheels

hmmm....maybe i should switch to track setting...just to see how it feels....

Nice job on the calipers. Been back and forth weather to refnish mine original black again or white.
Based on the cans, the Lexus pearl white is single stage (pearl mixed into white) unlike Acura WDP? Does the flake have any color to it or simple metallic?

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

install the rotors! unless you have a lot of life left on your current ones. i did the track setting on the RSB after asking countless people with type-s' which would be the best one to do. so far, i love it.

thanks. the lexus pearl comes with a base coat, and top coat. the clear coat was extra but made all the difference. it looks to be a simple metallic to me.

here are some more pics, i'll get better ones soon.

Gorgeous mod, man...seriously. You DID sand down first, obviously?!?

Loving that Brembo Tree!

iTrader: (5)

hahaha i wanted to spill your beans in this one but i knew you will kill me LOL....

but the outcome is nothing short of spectacular.....now whats your plan of action to keeping them clean

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

thanks, J. yes i used 600 grit, fine steel wool, and even a electric sander to get some pesky parts and to get the front even.

thanks man! i ordered 2 more decals that same day

they did turn out well, a few imperfections here and there...but nothing you would see unless your face was right against them.

keeping them clean...hmm...not driving the car!

iTrader: (1)

need help installing the rotors...my fronts have already been resurfaced once...my pads have a lot of life left.

my rears are about 15k mi old...but who says we couldn't go ahead and slap the slotted rotors on there.

i like the calipers!! looks really good after seeing it on the car as a whole.

The Brembo Calipers look great. I remember talking to you about the brembo brake calipers clear coat bubbling up on my car and you said your calipers were doing the same thing. I recently purchased some brakemotive rotors and will be sanding and painting my Brembo calipers sooner than later. The only decision that I have to make is what color to paint the Brembo's. Thanks for the motivation Aaron.

nice very nice brake job I always had planed to make my calipers white and you beat me to it but I my plan was to make the Acura logo in black

iTrader: (5)

Aaron....come to the KS meet....and then you can paint my calipers too

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

sounds like it's time to throw those new shiny rotors on there...maybe paint the calipers while were at it.

btw, the eagle has landed ...i haven't seen it yet, but i should be picking it up today.

thanks earl! yeah mine were flaking/stained like crazy. good luck picking out your color. automotivetouchup.com has any paint code you want for any make/model.

thanks!

i feel like if you and i ever met in person, your wife and my fiance would get along GREAT.

go for it man. it's not difficult at all. hardest part is getting off the caliper and even that isn't that difficult.

haha...too long of a dirve for me brother. i think you meant to ask tyler this question.

ebelp

I don't know what this means, but it sounds like it's gonna be good.

nah the audio illustration trunk monkey posted was just to help me finish wiring up my components/amp. i was texting the shit out of him trying to understand what he meant...so we went ahead and posted a helpful pic to show me.

haha thanks man.

holy hell that was funny. i just about spit out my coffee on that one.

sundays are usually good for me if i don't have a car to detail or work on.

you going to bennett's bday celebration at the end of the month at camden yards?

the sound mods aren't the surprise. the surprise was delivered yesterday from TLTrigirl.

thanks mr. bell! what color are you going with?

hmm...finish my audio on friday, sharksmouth grill at some point, replace some interior LED's that burned out, finish CF wrapping the interior, amp'd emblem, install AFR wideband sensor/gauge, and some other stuff.

i'm not going to be able to make the birthday thing...i have a huge training day scheduled (like a 7-8 hr variety for that saturday) and then have to cram myself into a car and drive up to b-more, then drive home... i'd pretty much miss the game if i did go. i told them i'd meet them for dinner instead (a nice one).

TLtrigirl

iTrader: (1)

not sure on the meets....depends on weather and if i get my butt up early enough to knock out my planned training day....then pull the old girl out of the garage to play. we'll see. i won't count them out though.
