Alright gotta order some brake pads and rotors... Should I just get some normal centric 125 series blank rotors or do I need some super cool looking drilled and or slotted stoptechs.... Should I get semi metallic brake pads or some sweet duralast golds with the lifetime warranty... So many choices.
My current set has about 2000 miles on them so its surely a high priority.
In other news I sold the G35 trunk with the spoiler attached for $50... Total investment in G35 $650 and falling...
I also learned that shipping an airbag is not cool with UPS or USPS otherwise I might be at $550.

I'd get standard rotors with some good pads street/track pads.
Drilled and slotted just wear pads faster lol
But then again.. The IG cred you could pull... Hmmmm I see your dilemma

Actually, none. The list is~
Hit and run(red light)- Old van
Drive Thru- young kid in a van
Two red lights- Both in 2010-ish hondas, under 20 as well.
Stop sign- A 16 yr old who just got his license 2 months prior to hitting me, in a 03 mazda.
Living near 2 colleges seems to be my issue.

But ya, at 20Kv at the ignitor, I don't think it's wise to ignore the yellow sticker. HIDs are scary when you think about what's going on inside them....

Nice. I paid to have mine done. I was too chicken s%$t to rise my paint job. I can leave the cat on jack stands if I have trouble with a part install. But if that paint cracks......... Lol

Is that your TR6 also? Oh wait, maybe it's not...looking for the "big camber" causing trailing arm, or did you get the brackets fixed and shimmed up?- ya, it's got to be a Triumph

I backed into the corner of a cement column at about 1 mph in my work parking garage. I put a thin 6" crease on the rear bumper. No damage to the paint. I might be able to get the crease out by removing the bumper cover, heating it with a heat gun set to low and going at it with a roller or a dolly until the plastic is flush again. Or I can just leave it to remind myself that the entire back end of that car is just one giant blind spot.
Or I can put a bumper sticker over it. Any suggestions?

Failed my state inspection today... Was kinda pissed when I got home... Couldn't figure out why that code kept popping up... Started ripping stuff apart... Finally figured it out...
Managed to get one side off today... Passenger side has a stipped bolt on the heat shield so ill need to figure that out... Going to snow tomorrow so guess this will not be fixed for a few weeks...
But it wasn't all bad, while I was under their I noticed something interesting and nice.

Rust belt. Bad juju.
I called my guy at Dent Solutions, I've been using him for paintless dent repair for about 15 years now. I told him about my bumper. He asked if the paint was fine (any cracking or punctures?) I told him the paint looked fine - it was just a crease. He said drop by Monday and he'd fix it. He's the best paintless guy on the West Coast (he does work for all these celebrities and billionaires (i.e., Ferrari 250 GTOs and such). He always laughs when I bring in my cheap-*** cars with miniscule door dings.

Do you even JDM bro?! Lol
I almost did this with my truck even with a back up camera so I feel your pain, kind of lol
But heat it and let it pop it self out. You have pics?
If it's small enough you can literally heat the edge and relieve the dent and it will pop it self. Don't roll or push or you'll just stretch the material and make it waves for life
