I was about 2 or 3 weeks in before the track this past Sunday. And 300 plus miles there and from the track

 

I always did the two bucket method with my '00 Max top - down. I know its not recommended to use a foam brush on any car due to the higher chance of scratches, my pattern especially was intended to be a joke to a friend. I bought the car with really deep scratches on the hood, roof and hatch to begin with so it's not perfect but you do get what you pay for. With me currently holding a full-time, a part time job and school I could care less about how I wash the car, I'm more mechanically an4l than looks. I guess I will back off the brush a lil though since over time it will show a difference. But thanks anyways.

 

I use waterless from chemical guys pretty often. Sure, scratches and swirls are there, but that's nothing a paint correction didn't fix haha. Car is all clean of scratches and swirls now.

 

I clean mine with 120grit sandpaper then I try to figure out how to correct it after the fact.. Its got some problems.

 

Spent $3,888 on a new trannt and clutch cuz my old one broke...also just got a tt kit but looks like thats gonna be sitting around for awhile now..

Nice to see quality builds still happening.

Swapped out my coilover springs and raised up the car, tired of it scrapping.

 

Finally threw on these $120 Ebay fenders.... prepping for paint this summer '16

 

Just finished installing Berk Technology HFCs with non foulers.

 

How well do these cut down on the rasp and buzzing compared to a test pipe?

 

Yes! Very nice. I put mine in last month, right after smog test. Love the Berks!

 

Had some fun in the garage installing some long awaited parts

 

I'm a first timer for HFCs. They are resonated, so they do have the same features of a test pipe, but are made to be quieter. I do have a heatshield on the passenger that vibrates a little, though, too. Upon startup I got a whole bunch of smoke because of the WD-40 that was still on the headers.

 

My divers headlight refuses to stay on. It ignites, then flickers before it dies. Going to swap bulbs today and see how that goes

 

New shoes! 18 inch Enkei Kojins. Fronts 8.5 w/25 offset and Rears 9.5 w/15 offset on 255 40 and 275 40 tires.
