Daedalus Winter Update '06 Photo Thread *No 56k*

I've seen this on black, red, and yellow Protege5's and initially, it's not too noticeable. However, I've found that over time it does tend to stand out and 'fade' more, especially on the darker cars.

true. and seeing as they're not especially cheap to buy or have installed, doing them every couple years seems impractical.

anyways.

daedalus - you're car rocks. definitely the best blazing yellow i've ever seen.

what comes after the upgrades currently on the ballot? more interior goodies?

Well... i might as well give you guys an update and a little hint of whats to come. The car was professionally buffed yesterday and zaino'ed. The shine is unparrelled. I forgot my camera as I was in a rush to get the zaino on and the car back in its garage under cover before this late winter storm is about to hit us (18+ inches).

The idea is this. There will be one last update showing the car detailed in this thread. After that, i plan on creating, whadaya know, a Summer Update Thread! Yay! There have been a lot of unforseen expenses lately, and I actually have a girlfriend now *GASP*, so i feel somewhat oblidged to take her out to dinner and do nice things, which cost money from time to time.

But I will give you the inside scoop on what is going to be done this summer. Look for complete details around May, as some of this stuff is still being sorted out. Some of the winter items are being held out until this summer for financial constraints.

- GTX Gearing (175mph top speed)
- Welded LSD
- NSN Tranny Cooler
- MAM Manifold
- Cutout Installed
- Brakes Installed (FINALLY!!!)
- GT2871R (Maybe, i kinda want to see what the stocker can make though)
- APR CF Splitter
- Optima Yellowtop
- All Piping, Apex Plate, etc repolished.
- PCV Routing fixed
- New Catch Can Setup
- Rear Main seal replaced

The aboves are the "for sures". Waiting in the wings are Sparco Milano 2's in black suede and a full interior reupholster to match, switch to a vibrant 3" exhaust, new wheels (advans or bust!)

I'll keep you guys in the loop. I might be holding off on the 71R this summer though because i really dont need more power now, and I really want to use that money to build up a nice little buffer for the winter, and try and get the banana paid off. Ya know, responsible stuff like that. I've been modding too much, and i'm gonna slow it down a lot this summer.
 
well i think pictures of the new g/f would definately be inline here since not only is this an update for your car but you also!

but for real your car is so badass.
 
You have a nice msp, very nice.

LOL my car hasnt been waxed since the day I took it home from the stealership.

i believe he got rid of it or is trying to but he can confirm that himself

I *might* have sold it... ok, fine... i sold it. I ended up deciding i wasnt gonna run a screen in my car, and ended up selling it so i could afford the MAM manifold. Its now found a good home in a nice NSX though!
 
Nice ride... I have been using Zaino since day 1, I love the shine. I really like the hood, the black in yellow looks way better then yellow in black... makes me want to go out and get a CF hood and something similar.

I was always curious if something could be painted to match that blazing yellow... glad it can be done... makes me less scared to do a few things.

any updates? We want to see the brakes!

I do to! I'm getting a new business off the ground right now, hence the reason I have no money to pay for the installation. I'm about a month away from seeing some good profits, at which time, you'll see them in all of their 6-Piston glory, along with all of the other stuff!!!
 
Ah, my bad...for some reason I thought they were on already. Oops.
