here's a couple pics from detailing my car and my aunts, and doing my brakes
sophia doing a wheelie! hahah
2010 wheels on my car, kinda like it!
yeahhh...they needed to be done
super dirty, havent quite 100% figured out which springs
all finished
they needed to be done, badly. so bad in fact, that the rear pistons, which are the screw in/out type had actually extended so far that they came out of their socket. We also had to file a bit of the paint off the ends of the brakes where it looks like they dipped them in, so they'd fit properly.
As a final note, those idiots put different sized lugnuts on the car when they replaced the ones with the locks...so each tire has 4 lugnuts of one size, and 1 of a smaller size, so add lugnuts to my list of things to replace. I wonder how black chrome ones would look with my wheels?
as for the detailing, I ran into something I've never seen before. On the rocker panels and the trunk lid, the clay didnt want to slide across, no matter how much detailer I sprayed on there. And when we put wax on the trunklid, the wax didnt wanna wipe off in patches. I dont get it?

I'd rather get a dbl din setup with nav, but I can't begin to think about affording one for now.

A rear USB is also nice if you don't want to have your USB or ipod out in plain site. here's a couple pics from detailing my car and my aunts, and doing my brakes

No idea what was wrong with the paint, but she looks good!

David-Mustang looks good! So you changed the pads, rotors, and fluid? I'm no expert but those might be Roush springs. I'm not sure of the colors on sn95's. But Roush springs on the s197 tend to be that color blue. The Ford blue is a little different I think. But I could definitely be wrong.
All 4 wheels arrived today. No damage and they look great. These wheels are going to fundamentally change this car. No more polished aluminum anymore. Especially when the hood pins go bye-bye someday.
And Discount Tire called and said the rear tires were in, but the fronts hadn't arrived yet.

I didnt change the brake fluid, I probably should have, but it looked okay for now.
I really like those wheels, someone should photoshop those onto my car...

If it is your heat shield on your exhaust that is cracking or whatever you can take it off and be done with it. I took the heat shield off my Celica cuz it was cracked and making a god awful noise and problem solved.
The heat shield was only there to prevent anybody from getting burned

when i start the car it sounds like it backfires, sitting in park with the car on it squeaks and sounds like clanging, the exhaust also sounds like a louder and deeper drone to it... thats just most of what im hearing
