damn man that looks awsome. everything going to be clear coted now?

that is all clearcoated son,

lol.

Looks neat :)


Mode of, yesterday, I cleaned the isndei of my car a bit and gave it a good wash and dry afterwards... Then parked it again. lol

looks neat dan. Innovative.

got a new passenger door and fender for my passenger side at the pick n pull. i can finally get rid of that rusted piece of crap. trying to fit an entire door into a prelude is a pain in the ass

i handed tools to avergae al today as he put on my new hawk hp+ pads and hps in the rear. haven't put them through the paces yet cuz the gotta get settled in with the resurfaced rotors

Use the recomended break in procedure or you'll wreck those pads in a hurry.

^^ so i should do the steps on the box right away or wait a bit for the rotors and pads to break in? im assuming right away but ive been advised to wait for a bit

The box doesn't say stick your foot to the floor and break as hard as you can.

no but it does say
Step 1. Seal all brake ducts. Step 2. Slowly engage brakes 6 to 8 times at medium speeds Do not drag brakes or come to a complete stop. Step 3. Increase speeds to simulate race conditions; allow 6 to 8 high pressure (about 500 psi) snubs at racing speeds. Total engagements for Step 2 and Step 3 should be a maximum of 15 to 20. Step 4. Remove brake duct seals. Allow the system to cool for about 15 minutes. Do not engage brakes while car is parked during cool down period

and no one is slamming on brakes.
and i also am not sure how you perform all these motions without making the brakes crazy hot

resurfaced rotors dont really need to be babied...its just a cleaned up/evened out surface...

Crazy hot=0 pedal and smoking brakes.


Been there done that. hah.

that is the break in procedure, the brakes should not even be used without doing this first. Whoever advised you to wait doesn't know. Once you complete the steps and let the brakes cool you're good to go.

yeah dude. trust me follow the steps, i have fucked up a set of pads real bad because the knucklehead at the parts store told me to just take it easy for the first bit. nuh uhh... second time around, second set of pads, i followed a similar procedure, and wow those things gripped fugin good.

got my 6000K HID kit yesterday, 3 days turnaround time from order to delivery... crazy shit.

just need a car to stick em in and im set :cool:

alright i did all ze steps this morning and they had a good 6 hours to cool so im sure everything will be dandy. a fair amt of brake dust already and they squeel a bit, im assuming this is normal because it says they have increased wear and noise

oh yeah your wheels will always be black. be sure to get a can of wheel cleaner or somthing for each car wash

I got lots of free dust from Shawn on my wheels:D

Mod of today:

Changed the civic's oil. Installed a new blingbling FRAM filter. I then clear coated the wheels and sanded the lips.... pictures in random pictures thread.

i heard some bad things about fram's oil filters. mainly that they insides turn into mush pretty quick. i've never used one myself though.

Fram makes honda filters.

Honda filters dubbed 'the best'.
