How much time does it take to paint calipers (including drying to the point that it's drivable)? I probably have some free time this weekend but not too sure yet. That's one thing I've been thinking of doing since I got my wheels. Not sure if I want to do red or black though...

 

If you get this kit

http://www.duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html

it takes only about 10 minutes before it is dry... and you do not have to remove the calipers to paint them...

 

Do they sell this kit locally? I wanna do my rotor hats and calipers soon.

 

Yes I have seen it at pep boys and oreilys

 

Cool, I will have to check it out. Does it come with the brushes?

 

Yeah, it does. I checked last night and it said that oreilly's has it in stock. I'm ordering brake pads today so hopefully those get in quick enough for this weekend.

 

Oh, forgot to post pics of my LED brake light Looks much better unlit in the day time too compared to the stock one.

 

Looks good. I got my brake pad order in today so might have them by the end of the week.

 

What is the Air Pump Delete for? My engine is coming along slowly. It took me all day today just to swap everything onto the new engine. Well I spent almost 3 hours on the intake manifold with seafoam deep creep and a wire brush. i was amazed at how much gunk builds up on the valves... hopefully tomorrow everything goes in and I get to drive it home....

 

it is so you dont have an air pump

 

The air pump is only there to pump air into the exhaust to warm up the cat for emissions. I don't have a cat so i don't need the air pump

 

So is Mod day sat or sun this weekend? i can make it on Sunday...

 

Well, BHR emailed me back saying they didn't have the pads I ordered readily in stock so they would take a week or so to ship out. He asked if I wanted to cancel my order or if I wanted to wait. I told him I'd be willing to pay a bit more if there was something similar in stock.

I'll post the full story in the lounge, but I wont be doing brakes this weekend.

 

We will be doing both days.... Springs on Saturday and then other things

Might do my center console sunday

 

Hey 9K i was really excited to hear about your LED 3rd break light but now that I see it I wish it had about ten times the actual Led lights. The red was really the way to go. Looks Great. Sorry just a nit pick not really a big deal.

 

I have not seen it at night, but I am happy with it for $35.00.

Oh, and check it

So you guys ready to wrench?

 

When and where is stuff happening?

 

So we knocked out Grungepups springs (Tein H - Tech's) and met a new member (Kingstinger) and determined he has a failed air pump and may need a new motor. Today after 2PM I will be doing some exterior stuff, chasing a leak in my OMP, and if I get ambitious I may do my fuel pump.

 

would anyone be interested in tryin to see why my car will not crank im tired of lookin at the car lifeless in my garage

 

i thought you sold it....

 

Does it crank or do anything?

 

everything lights up but will not crank

 

Is your security light on? Can you unlock, arm, disarm, the car with the remote? Sounds to me like the anti theft system needs to be reprogrammed.

 

So we have been talking.....

and for this Saturday we were thinking about having a Minor Mod day. Doing simple things that wouldn't require getting too dirty or too tired, while at the same time grilling up some food and just having a lazy afternoon.

If this Saturday doesn't work for you, post up dates that would and we can make a compromise. We haven't had a monthly meet in a while so this could take the place of it. Everyone that comes would need to bring something.... sodas, chips, hotdogs, hamburgers, fajitas, chicken, or whatever just don't show up empty handed.
