Well got some rough news today and was figitty. I decided to give it that little extra touch for that finished look.

I sprayed the parts and peices with an epoxy primer and tacked a coat of ultra flat black on the washer pumps to make them a uniform color and they wont stand out where ever I mount them at. I also went to the local hydrolic store and bought 2 X 1 1/4" hydrolic line fastners (1 1/2" was too big)that will clamp down arround the pumps and hold them securely with out any other problems.



Not too shure where Im going to mount these at. Im thinking out side the engine bay some where. Maybe taking the nose off and putting them up front. I have enought line, I just dont want to make it too far because that will over work the pumps.

I also ordered a Moroso battery Isolator, so when Im on those long trips I just pop the hood and undo the battery so all the little acceseries dont drain the battery like they have in the past. I have the local auto parts store looking into it for me.

 

very nice!

 

With a little fan fair and head aches the brakes are in. The company misslabled the rear calipers left to right, right to left and gave me 2 left front calipers. That was a pain in the dick to figure out why the brakes were not bleeding down. Once the rears were flipped and the front right turned upside down to put the bleed screw on top, it took only half an hour to bleed everthing out and get the wheels on.

One bad thing though. Well not exactly bad, the front brakes fill up the WHOLE AREA inside the wheel. The calipers have only about a 5 mm clearance from the top of the caliper to the wheel surface. I had to pull off the wheel weights and I need to get the right angle valve stems because the current stems rub on the calipers (as stated in my "brake bleeding woes" post).

So with out further adue.....

DAMIT!!! I JUST SAW THIS....

THEY LABLED THE ROTORS WRONG AS WELL!!!! The hatching on the rotors is suposed to be pointing forward not back..... SON OF A BIOTCH!!!! Well that is the last time I trust stickers on parts and working on a car with a bad headache. The attention to detail wasnt there yesterday and today. Well poop. Guess I need to switch the rotors as well. I'll do that tomorrow if I have time.

 

Check the fins inside the rotor on the outer edge. Thats the only part that matters direction. The slots on the rotor itself have no affect directionally.

 

Yeah I called arround and checked the rotors, they are definately swapped. No biggie though, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to switch the rotors to the oposite sides. 4 bolt total (not including the lugs).

With the newer brackets the bolts are super easy to get to and remove the caliper. It will take longer getting the wheels off and on and retourqed than it is to swap the rotors. I can do that easy on my lunch brake. Hell I even know the tools by heart now after this weekend.

13/16 thin wall for the lugs
10mm hex socket for caliper bolts
1/2 to 3/8 adapter (for hex and the thin wall)
Impact gun
Braker bar
Wratchet
Torque wrench

Seth, by the way I need to get in touch with you guys tomorrow. Some things came up and I didnt leave Saturday and wanted to see about the radio.

On a side not, I called 5 diffrent wheel stores and they didnt have 90 degree valve stems, so I went with flush mounts. Definately interesting look, I'll get pictures soon.

 

time for some new wheels.

 

Nah these do me fine. It will be a LONG while before I get wheels. These 18's are fine by me. Will tear them up any ways with the driving I have planned. I could use wider set though.

 

I guess you can call this the final product. Can you say sleeper?

 

come on man, I know you got more shots then that..show em off bro

 

I realy dont have that many shots of the car. I was shooting others cars more than mine. I am pondering taking some shots here this weekend.

 

hey mike if you want to set up a full on photoshoot with Erwin and I some time, I'm sure we can find a good time. Yes Erwin i just volunteered you. lol.

 

cool cool,it will give me a chance to work on my photog skillz. I finaly got CS3 on my faster computer, what took 10 minutes to do on my laptop takes only seconds on my desktop.

Dual 2.7Ghz processor, 4Gb of RAM, dual Crossfirer 1800 video cards, 750GB of storage, running a fairly decent 19" organic LCD monitor.

 

Final??? I dont think you have it in you. Long way from final until it lifts off and flys. Sleeper? uh...with that big azz intercooler in your rear mirror.....not! Car looks good man! not gonna say keep up the work cause you always do!!

 

Alright...

Finaly flipped the rotors; which it took longer to put the wheels on than it did to swap the rotors.

I hooked up a battery disconect so when Im gone for longer periods I dont have to worry about the battery dieing.

I rerouted the catch can lines from my can so they are not kinked like they were.

I found a place to mount my washer pumps under the bumper and it it wasnt for a bad seal they would be running and working now. What I have to put gasket sealent arround the grommet and plastic nipple to stop the small leaks. I'll give it a few days then I will hook up the lines and let her rip.
