Lol that is stoptech for you. I wash my car drive it like 10 miles and wheels have brake dust on them again.

Next set of pads I get will be ceramics lol.

Vance you have stoptech pads right? If so, what do you clean your wheels with? I hate hand washing them and I would like to get a spray on wheel cleaner that actually works.

Good old elbow grease!

Dude have you seen my wheels? LOL yours would take me 15 min 4 wheels. Mine is per wheel 15 minutes haha

And I don't use chemicals. Fuck chemicals they strip the finish off the wheels, bolts hubs everything. If you put time into something it will pay off.

Side note, everything went as planned. Been washing the car for the past 3 hours now took a short break, interior cleaning and then drying any left over water spots. Damn! It's good to be back to the low life.

so got off work, walking to my car when looking at my car, I notice something weird about my driver side quarter panel... some one got a little to close. I even parked in a corner spot in the back. the angle of the photo isn't great but its a really deep indent :bonk:

Oh man! I would be soo pissed. Door dings and little bumps when parking I can deal with but that, that is just terrible. Hope whoever did that gets into a hit and run and the person who hits them totals the car!

going to get quotes tomorrow, I hope my insurance doesn't go up :yikes:

 

[Blake1090]

That's fucked up! Insurance should cover it though

anyone change their cabin filter DIY?

I'm looking at the instructions it says, it's by the passanger side under the glove box??? hmmm what ?

 

[Vancity2Constantinople1]

LOL.

all good

I did it, but it didn't get rid of the smell. When I took it to the dealer for CV boot install I think they recognized the smell and took care of it without me saying anything.

filter looked freaking clean for 4 years.. I put the new one in since I bought it, super easy.


it was 8$ on amazon.


Now going to remove the foglight ballasts and cut them for warranty from TRFS. There is a recall for the SS ballasts, going to get the DSP ones that are in my headlights. But the car is looking pretty.

 

[Vancity2Constantinople1]
