What did you do today to your 3/S?

Love the exhaust. And yes Adam the AC still works, never even disconnected a line so it stayed charged. Thanks guys

Twas brake day

As you can see I needed them quite badly...

EBC Pads and Slotted Rotors, Stock rears.

HUGE distance in stopping power between the Vatozone pads and my destroyed rotors and this new setup. They also do not fade near as quick or as bad.

Also my Short Attention Span led me to trying out some clear coat on the fender pretty quick... Looks pretty great, Going to sand it down and finish body work and maybe just do the whole car...

Ontop of the brakes and the random clearing.

Also did

Lowered car 1/2"
Alignment
Rust control (finding random nuts and bolts n such with surface rust, taking wire brush to them, then cleaning them)
Painted Calipers

could probably have used a tt brake upgrade, blacky. the n/a setup doesn't handle heat well.

I was very impressed with mine. The only thing I didn’t like was the V band, it didn’t fit right. Looks like they did away with it and lowered the price. Win win IMHO

Actually they still have the V band. At first I installed it and didnt like its position, it could hit the tunnel, so I went to loosen it and SNAP, the damn bolt broke. Sucked because its kind of a special setup. I had to rig up a new bolt system for it. And the silencers were a bitch to get out, they fit kinda tight with nothing to really grab on too.
Other than that I am pretty happy with it. I might need to bend some of the hangers a little too, I think its too tight because I can feel the vibration of the exhaust a little.

All the ones I've seen lately didn't have it. I believe you can get the exhaust to fit better with that joint there but the clamp is just shit. It wouldn't clamp both sides of the lip so it just pushed the pipes so they weren’t aligned. I had to pull the crap out and put the exhaust and clamp in a vice to force it together correctly. PITA!

Remember, Corey, some of us are waiting to hear it.

Realized that Paul asked for more pics of my buddy's car earlier, so here they are.

We still need to PC the calipers to match the green and I'm always on him to get a new set of wheels, but he'll be shipping out for Bahrain in April so we'll see how much we get done.
