I'm slowly getting a little more used to them. Its still super loud though, especially at cruising speeds on the freeway. I think I'd need to at least put the plates in if I plan on taking it for any long drives. Passenger side needs to be tightened too. Its a bit rattly.


In other news, I'm loving my LCAs and new tires. Took a quick drive tonight, 35 degrees out, and very little wheel spin and absolutely no wheel hop. Pirellies would spin like crazy under 40 degrees. Super happy with the Nittos.

 

They sound pretty frickin amazing to me Nathan. However, having had an offroad h pipe for a while, i came back to appreciate the sound of stock exhaust. (with quad tips)
My head couldn't handle the reverberation off the highway medians all the time. Comes down to what can you live with all day.

 

SUPERB!!
I love it Nathan. I think it sounds killer. The way a muscle car should sound!

 

Ya, I know what you mean. Don't think I'd go catless with this setup. Might need to tone it down a bit. We'll see what happens.

Thank you! It definitely has the muscle car sound down.


Think I'm gonna paint my brake calipers tomorrow. Gonna be nice out but we got some weird dusting of snow last night and there's random patches of salt here and there so I think I'll keep it in the garage until it rains again. Going gloss black and have a couple different sets of the Brembo decals to try out. Planning on doing the hubs/rotors as well. (Can't think of the exact part right now. ) Kinda prefer a satin black for those but with the brake calipers being gloss, I feel like its better and easier just to keep it uniform.

 

Nathan what caliper paint are you using? Whatever it is, wait at least 24 hours before trying to apply the decals. I learned that the hard way lol. Paint was dry to the touch...but not cured.

Also, I'd put a high heat clear over the caliper once you have the stickers on. It'll make them much easier to keep clean. I didn't do this and dust accumulates around the letters so it gets a nasty dark edge around the letter. The clear will make it more uniform.

 

I got the G2 kit. I used the duplicolor kit on my '02 and thought I'd give this a try.

I'll be sure to wait a day or two before I put the decals on. Where do you get a high hear clear? Local shelves are pretty empty when it comes to this stuff. All they ever have is red and black in a spray can.

 

Nice yeah I got a G2 kit too, but then I got the Wilwoods soo lol. Amazon has it. I believe Eastwood makes it. I picked up a can of it also, for this very reason.

Edit: just looked at my order. It's VHT.

 

Here ya go...

 

Do the stock rear calipers come black now

They did on my Shelby

 

They did on the Brembo/Track Pack cars, but it was not as nice as the Shelby paint. Mine are all gross and surface rusted.

 

Mine are just dirty, but I'm painting them anyway.
Great. Thanks!

 

Last time I bought spray paint I had to show my ID.

 

You old sack sniffer

 

Yeah, apparently you have to be 18 to buy it at Walmart here now. I suppose to keep all the Mexican gangbangers from tagging even more stuff than they already have, and to keep the poor white trash from huffing it all up.

 

I've bought several cans lately and never had to show ID. They've got these big signs saying you need to be 18 too. Guess it's not a huge problem around here.

 

People are huffing the spray paint cans?!?! WTH!

 

I'm feeling a bit from all the paint fumes this afternoon. Took about 3-4 coats. Not perfect, but still turned out pretty good. Ordered the clear, so I'll put the decals on in a couple days.

Before:



Current:

 

They get a small brown paper bag like a lunch bag we had in school and spray the inside of it with the paint and then suck in the fumes. Leaves paint around their nose and mouth.

****ing morons

 

Yes. Apparently (from what I've heard) gold and silver are the ones that the huffers prefer, something about the high they get from the chemicals in those colors is stronger than other colors.

Yep. There is a guy that lives down the road from an acquaintance of mine that is ****ed up on that ****. Not a kid either, 40s at least. Huffs that **** constantly. The cops have to pick him up all the time. I've seen him several times out in the middle of the road wandering around, waving his arms, completely naked and shouting at God with a big silver or gold ring around his nose and mouth.

 

WTH!!! We get a natural high on horse shyte but I've never been caught walking down the road nekid!
