^ very nice wagon! Ship you my RH's and you do the same? (lol2)

on topic: pulled her outta the garage and was wiping here off with the California Duster. Noticed that someone had egged my Jeep with about a 1/2 dozen eggs...(burn)...this s***'s gotten old...

they'll end up being roughly that color. maybe a bit brighter.

Gonna take a file to some of the curb rash, and then do a little bit of detail work and I think I'm gonna get to spraying em with a clearcoat.

for $100, sure. it was a LOT of work to get them this far. I'm surprised my drill didn't give out, it was putting off a LOT of heat.

 

[SpeedAdiction20]

^^^ reminds me of when I did my heat shield and my break calipers, just not as big, I was grinding my drill pretty good

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I'm still trying to decide how far I want to take the polish. I may just leave it at a wire wheel in hopes the clearcoat sticks better.

 

[SpeedAdiction20]

no.. it won't just find a "chalk" polish kit, my dad got one at lowes or something like that for.. I dono I'll guess $20 but just polish them after the wire wheel with the black chalk polish stuff, then go to the white real quick, it makes a world of difference.. you'll want to do that, and the black polish compound makes quick work

oh and anyways I will see you all after my trip to costa rica! I'm graduating tomorrow, a little drunk tonight after my grad party with some friends, then the commencement and packing for the trip, then 4am at airport monday morn.. cya guys in 11days

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I've got a polishing kit already... the issue is to get a good polish I'll have to get all the texture off the alloy, and thats easier said than done..

finally got my aem truboost working correctly. now when i hit 9psi or high my car feels like its stumbling/hesitating... any ideas? oh and also while using a handle brush to clean my car... i knock off my drivers side mirror soso sad, right now i have the assistance of a hot glue gun holding it in place

 

[Wagonbacker9]

holy crap. how hard did you hit it??

are you tuned? wideband? is it stumbling, or is it fuel cut?

 

[MSP-2003.5]

It's stumbling/jerky, but not fuel cut.

 

[MSP-2003.5]

The car feels fine at until it hits full boost. Then it just feels like it's stumbling, not as jerky as fuel cut, but like the boost is bouncing

 

[Wagonbacker9]

other questions above...

 

[MSP-2003.5]

It isn't my car so I can't answer all questions. He said it didn't start until after his car's boost accidentally hit 14-15 psi. I rode in it today. I was wondering if it could be his WGA. It looks stock (could be stock replacement) his car has 130,000 miles

 

[mildsalsa]

i have the ssafc v2 with stock supermap, the innovate wideband is kinda jerky at the moment, guessing i need to recalibrate it per their customer support. also tho im on stock turbo, had 4 small cracks in the mani stock dp and j pipe and 3" from cat back.

Haven't really had a spirited drive in a long time so tonight, I just decided to enjoy the MSP a bit so i hit triple digits on the freeway offramp. Couldn't really resist the cold dense air tonight that was perfect for the turbo =) this kind of made up for being in bumper to bumper traffic for an hour and a half earlier in the evening.

[msp03.5]

Knocked out the front sway bar bushings, got all four tokicos in and got my rotors on. Now the problems lol. I have some torn boots or rubber pieces around the front pistons is this replaceable? I also have uneven pad wear on both fronts and pass. side rear. Oh and I am missing one retaining spring and shims on one side? WTF lol Will I need to buy new calipers? If so what calipers do I need again? I was looking and can't seem to find which rears fit our car and what fronts to get if I need them. I thought the rears were off a 626? any help would be great.

Auto-X'd it yesterday with the Porsche Club. I did OK. Lost to a modded EVO by about a second, beat a couple modded Miatas on race rubber, and beat a few Porsches. So all in all a decent showing for me.

 

[disturbedfan121]

yesterday i put on my "jdm" window visors and while driving to my brothers got a flat in the middle of brooklyn, and didn't have my breaker bar and 19mm socket
