Haha yea I still have it. I was gonna do it after I was finished shaving the bay. After I got cut off and hit some fucker on the road and I had to fix it. So the night befor i moved to my new place I had fixed the sedan. New carbon fiber hood, headlights, corners, right fender, new used bumper and a mug en lip. So I moved and that same night it was stollen. So it never got used. I'm actually sur ching for the parts to get it finished and it's going in my hatch. I also have the disk swap to. But that's for sure going in this weekend. Just got the new seal kits for em and pressed in new bushings. Gonna have the rotors re - surfaced and they will be set. I'm kinda glad I have stuff I never got to put on the sedan. Makes this build go a Lil faster.

- Mon Aug 25, 2014 4:59 pm #348234 Well I finally installed the rear teggy brakes. Had them for like 5 years. put new trailing arm bushings in last year and cleaned them up with fresh paint. Must say it rides much better and brakes good to. Just need the prop valve. Also need new rotors cause the ones on were rusted bad and started to make pits. I cleaned them up as best as i could. Hope I can get new ones today. Also installed amber front corners, and a c-pillar bar. fixed my rear swaybar and add fresh full synthetic oil with new filter. :thumb:

On that close up pic with your wheel, it looks like your lug nuts aren't grabbing many threads on the studs. :eh:

Thanks :D ya im using the type of lughs that actually go into the hole for the wheel. They get about 7 turns till tight, if i was to use regular lughs i was only grabing like 3 threads. So that was not cool nor safe. So my wheel and tire guy gave me kind with a threaded neck. They go almost to the hub. I will be replacing them all with extended studs. 1 of the studs was jacked up on the first 2 threads so i had to grind it down till it threaded. But its all tight and not gonna bust off.



And new rotors and pads are on the way :woot: I will post a pic when they get here.

You can see how bad they olds are. 1 day of driving with them and that was enough to not wait for new ones.
Image
also painted the centers a aluminum high temp. They came bare and will get surface rust when wet.


And A photo edit one of my team members did for me.
