awesome..yea i may have to buy one of those pretty soon, but its not really a priority so ill wait until I get my first pay check.

also just ordered a liter of ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid, going to do a full flush, the brake fluid in the car is over 4 years old (boom05)

recent pic of my car with the new fenders, i dont mind them so i doubt they'll be changed anytime soon.
BUT one thing thats really annoying me, is my dam car keeps billowing smoke, ill stop at a light and it will just start pouring smoke from under the hood, it'll even start coming in the car. I have no clue what it is, but im getting under the car today and checking it out. If its that dam oil line again im going to be pissed.

 

[justanothermp5]

so I got under the car today, no oil residue on the oil line so I assumed it was the old heat wrap still soaked in oil. Ripped that s*** off and went ahead and bought some new stuff from advanced. Sprayed and scrubbed the pipe down with some simle green and wrapped it all up, actually did a good job this time, should have taken pics of it.
Heat wrap is expensive!

old burnt up s***

new stuff...$50 bucks worth lol

Thanks man! Today i got some stuff in the mail, the t bolt clamps I ordered, and my brake fluid. Started putting the t bolt clamps on and halfway through i decide to go inside, missed a call from my potential employer, ****. Called back, left a voicemail...anywho on to the car stuff, I got a text from a guy im buying some wheels from, original price of 350, talked him down to 330, not much, but money is money. Going to pick them up at 8, ill post pics when i get them, alot of you wont like them

You should get those^

 

[justanothermp5]

lol no....there ALOT wider. I just got back from picking them up, dam they are wide as hell...gonna have to do alot of work to fit them.
As most of you probably guessed, im not going with a functional setup anymore, these are too sick to pass up. Ill post pics in a sec

they look like vette wheels....

 

[Protege03ak46]

it'll fit with a couple hours with a fender roller.

 

[justanothermp5]

nah, they dont fit at all right now, hit the strut mount, check the pic in the agg fitment thread....im gonna end up getting some spacers
the specs are 16x9.5 +38 all the way around, in case anybody was wondering, the poke in very minimal, the angle of the pic makes it look huge

on paper its the exact same poke as my brothers setup, just 27mm more on the inside

 

[Protege03ak46]

Id just take a grinder to the coil right there. Its not like thats whats keeping the whole coilover together, a couple millimeters arnt gonna hurt.

 

[justanothermp5]

yea, i was gonna take the dremel to it tomorrow, but i may still need a 5-8mm slip on set so i can add a little camber, i dont mind poke at all
i was planning on running a 205/45 tire, so the stretch will help

aight kauai..i get it, dont need to post in 3 different threads about it

the lugs and there little plastic covers amaze me, ive been messing around with them all morning lol
Im glad I picked these up, came with OEM lugs, center caps, lug covers, and OEM locks for $330. The 2 that go on the left are almost in perfect condition minus a few scuffs in the clear coat. The two on the right have the crazy spider web looking s*** in the clear, so im prob going to end up stripping all the wheels down and polishing the silver and spraying the accents to match my VC.

 

[KauaiMP5]

I was just thinking the same thing lol. My bad. What color u going with?

 

[justanothermp5]

I dont know 100% if i want to mess with the finish because there pretty mint, but i was thinking a full polish on the face, and all the black parts painted a custom purple I already have that I was going to use on my valve cover. You pretty close to running yours?

 

[KauaiMP5]

yup, im pickin um up tomorrow from the polisher =)

 

[justanothermp5]

dam nice, cant wait to see what they look like...you did a full polish? like even in between the spokes?
