[Orange 94]

Got to work on the interior pieces.
Felt the silver was out of place, so I painted it satin black.
Good lord those panels are a pain in the ass to get out...

I scuffed the plastic and used a special adhesive spray then trim paint. Its what my paint shop recommended. It's not suppose to chip, crack or flake.


Before:































I'm happy with the results! The black adds a nice contrast, but isn't out place like the silver. I did notice the satin shows up goofy in a couple pictures, looks really nice in person.




Also did the brakes. New pads and rotors on the front, new shoes on the back. Painted everything black, I have no idea why people like to have their brakes stand out, especially the drums.

The factory brakes were still on the car... the rotors were nasty.

What it looks like now;












Also bled the clutch, there was a lot of air in there... Hopefully that makes the clutch better. So far it seems much better.


Also cleaned the air filter... good lord the previous owner must have never cleaned it. yuck. Now its all clean and freshly oiled. Gave the steeda plate a quick polish too.




Went for a quick test drive and everything feels much better. I did U turn and when I straightened out I put my foot in it and the tires let out a good scream, really surprised by that. Manual is definitely way nicer with these duratecs.
