That looks great! I havent looked at a V6 engine department at a long time, forgot how different it looks. How much was that kit?

To be honest, I was only going to do a performance brake pad but since Rotorpros made me a great offer (available to TMS members) I couldn't resist doing the rotors too. Oh and I have a new G2 calipler paint kit coming, I'm having problems with my rear calipers chipping...... ?? Don't know why.


When are you getting the blower installed??
I'm feeling the same thing too. After the blower, gauges, shock/struts and lca's I'll be done for the year...

Blower install? Well I'm expect the blower to reach the shop this week. Install maybe next week or the following. He's backed up since he was closed for a month moving to a different shop.

I now the shocks and struts are a performance thing but for day to day driving no point in putting up with a harsh ride. I may keep it like this for awhile or try playing with the front and rear settings indvidually and see what I come up with. Like I stated yesterday though the sand in the panhard bar has had an amazing effect.
So all in all good purchase. I'm strongly looking into these now. I'm tired of a crappy ride.

Just do it. Act first regret later.

Tom1, I say IF you must add the spliters do it white. I personaly dont like them other then on the PJ. On any other car they just look like debry which go stuck on the front.

Very cool Leo!

I'll be using my MWAG covers for sure.

Seems that re-oiling doesn't last as long as the original (in color). But, you have to be careful not to over oil the filter.

The map light burned out? I think that overhead just pops off with clips.

Thanks everybody! I know I'm way behind the curve here, but I do something here and there.

It was only $510 to my door. Just about the best price you can find on a system.

Hey Leo, what kind of sound were you getting from the panhard bar before you filled it with sand? I am getting some really strange noises coming from my rear lately. I really don't know what it could be coming from.

Probably Microsoft goons involved.

Do you actually like the MacBook Air?

Looks great, Kyle! I'll see it in person soon!

On the splitters - it's one of those things that I wish I could put on to look at before buying. But they aren't cheap when painted. I guess I could buy them and return them if I don't like the look after a test fit.

Oh yeah, that's it...... 2 cylinders.

You may want to cut back on the refried beans there Kyle.

Not answering for Leo, but his PHB made a kind of a 'hollow' sound everytime he drove over bumps.
