Nice work bringing in the docs -- I should have done that with my rear main seal last month. At least I was able to call them a bunch of liars when they played dumb thanks to the info on this site. "Oh, really? Why would you think your car has that problem? I've got 200k on mine with no problems."

 

^^^yeah man, they are so freaking cool up there its unbelievable. everytime I come up there they all walk around the car and ask me what Im going to do next to it. its awesome to see that...

 

Car looks great... Sorry about the picture, still trying to figure out my camera.

It was fun working on your car Mantis.

Warranty expired five minutes after you left the house..

 

 

Looks real good fellas :finger roller:

 

:drools: makes me want to drop my car...

 

makes me wanna get some new rims. that's so sweet lookin' !! and here i am sportin' 16's and shit. anybody got some used performace shocks for a cl for sale. my stock ones about had it with the h&r setup hehe.

 

Looks great!

 

Looks really good.!

 

tonight we tear into my car.......short shifter.....hehe.

 

so how'd the rotor install go? any little hang ups I should know about? they look great!

mantis, you don't happen to have a link to the proper way to break in new brakes do you? I haven't tried to find one yet.

 

Aaron, the rims look amazing -- have fun with the new brakes!

 

It wasnt that bad at all Danny, I had a little trouble with the rear brakes but it was my own fault. But once I figured it out it was smooth sailing. I would say that using the impact on the retaining screws did help a little.

As far as breaking them in, we just took the car to 20MPH then slowed to like 5. Then we took it to 40 and slowed, then to 60 to a stop. That was about it.

There was one issue about the rotors though, the holes for the retaining screws did not line up, so I ended up not using them. We took pics. Im sure Aaron will be bringing this to the attenion of the seller...

If you need any help with yours let me know, Ive got it down now..

 

Down for Monday the 13th? Mantis, you in? I'll drop my car off sometime in the late morning, so if one of you can swing by and pick me up it's a go . .

Ruf

 

Im there let me know, hell my car is still there lol!!!

 

From what I've read about breaking in new rotors -- you just do what Ethan said -- don't overheat them until you "temper" them a little. Get 'em working gradually for a while and don't slam on them until they're really broken in. Breaking in brakes till they're broken in... Hehe -- it's like a run-on pun.

 

Damn . . . look at the wheel gap . . .




oh it's on jacks !

Brings back memories of those highwater wheelwell days.

Ruf

 

man, at this rate you may be swinging by to pick up yours as I drop mine off.

Ruf

 

I brought it to his attention, also sent danny a pm with the details.

 

I should be able to make it.

 

tell me about it, I hope to get it back today.

 

Just posting a test message here to test out the new Goggle Desktop tool. If this works I'll let you know what I am doing.

 

one more post test...sorry if this is bugging anyone. And no, this won't get me to 20,000 plus post quickly either.

 

No testing allowed! Every post must be constructive!

 

Who in this group can help me setup an RSS connection to this group? I'm using the new Google Desktop and would like to specify, if I can, which thread I want to get notifications on.

Here is a sample string that I've been using that gets all the messages posted:
https://acurazine.com/forums/external.php?type=rss

 

Would it help if I just said "Hello!"

 

I don't think there is a RSS feed specifically for this thread. It goes by major forum (CL, TSX, TL, ect)

 

Mantis---that's what I am seeing. I was just trying to break the code to see if I could get it to focus down to a thread level.

And it seems it only looks within the forums at the top of the list under Acurazine TL Community.

Oh well, was worth a try.

 

^^ that would have been cool

 

Ummmm, all I am hearing in that is Care to put that in dumb 'ngrish?

 

To know what RSS is see...http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.html

I just loaded the new Google Desktop. It has a window called Web Clips. What this does is it goes out to any sites you designate and will display any new messages that appear. So now you don't have to go out to a site, like a forum, and see what's been posted or receive an email.

I have the Google Desktop Web Clips pointed to my Yahoo Groups and now I can see when people post and get the header information and a link to the message. Cool stuff!

There is more stuff with the Desktop tool...checkout http://desktop.google.com/

 

short shifter = BADASSS

 

I guess you got your car back. ?

Ruf

 

So how hard was it to install??

 

Wow, that is pretty damn cool. I am going to have to look into that.

 

Yeah I got it back this morning and was tearing into it this afternoon...

Drew came back in town and grabbed a tool....

 

it wasnt that bad. you know me though, I was kinda freakin out taking all that interior out...

 

 

i tried not to laugh while he was pacing back and forth with half his center console out of the car... naw im just kidding, he was so cool, calm and collected that he was able to bang it out in about an hour.. got held up because we were looking for a clip that rolled off the place we put it...

 

that wasn't necessarily directed at you....just venting...sorry...
