yay more updates! haha.
So I FINALLY got to upgrade my brakes to a nice SVT setup (thats a lie, rears are only advance track...woopie theyre still not drum brakes!). Took several trips back and forth to part source, GFXjamies shop, my parents house (where the car was stranded for a while) so on and so forth. Had some bad luck with popped my CV joint apart on the passenger side so that was just another lovely trip to part source to get a new one.
All in all I managed to get the following done!
- new passenger side axle
- all new wheel studs (not really needed but its a nice touch while i was there)
- new wheel bearings in the rear
- new rear disc setup
- new shiny ebrake cable for the discs
- new front SVT brakes
- fixed a broken exhaust....again. dem low life problems haha
Here's a pic of the car all jacked up on what should be jackstands...but a tile and some wood works just as well! (as seen in the second image)
now the beautiful look of bigger brakes under a 16" inch rim
and now the backs
and all together now!
finally another quick small detail, instead of going HIDS (waiting to retrofit some projectors when i get the time) I decided to go with a xenon artic white headlight and a very yellow fog. simple yet looks good i think.
thats it for now. Next up should be my SAP rear bumper (which just needs a clear coat), motor mounts...tranny, turbo, tune etc.
