Woah, sexy pipe. You better take a sound clip, though it has been heard many times, its not the same on your own ride =)
give a try cleaning off more of that paint off of the canister.
I got alot off of the one side but I gave up on the other. (it is also the top side so it wont be viewable when installed)

yeah, i'm gonna clean it up a bit before i install it. I'm not sure on whether I wanna polish up nice n shiny or just paint it. Painting would protect it better especially in the winter but it just looks so damn sexy all polished up tongue.gif.

we'll see how anal I get about this muffler. I know no one's gonna see it but....

i think i stated in my FS thread, but just to remind you. the hanger on the left, needs to be adjusted. it is too long giving the exhaust a little sag. Either bend it more, or cut and re-weld it, whichever is easier for you.

It's so sad to depart from my beloved glorious green celi. frown.gif

I'm taking the next 5 months in Korea so I can't take it with me...

Everything is on hold 'til I come back.

I'll still be online probably just not as active.

>Hi guys

I will try to polish my headlights - it's the stock ones. Just want to be 100% sure that they are made from plastic. Can anyone confirm this? :-)

It's this product I will give a try tongue.gif http://www.headlight-restoration-kit.com/t...estorer-review/


Umm, never seen those type of rotors before. Why are their waves on the pad surface?
bought them off tirerack
http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brakes.jsp?...or&make=ATE

they work just like slotted rotors. I like the look of them and they work alright.
a little bit of an OE upgrade but not incredible come to a full stop in .01 sec power
but for my 7a, don't need much i guess laugh.gif

Ah I see, kinda cool looking. They make any odd noises when braking due to that? Lol looks almost like generic ABS in a sense. On off breaking on the rotor.

hmm.. not that i've remembered. they've been pretty quiet. of course I don't think I've ever FULLY tested them out. I just drive around town mostly so they don't get much use. hahahah.

yeah, I'm so undecided on them though. not sure if I want SSIII or TRDs. I like both.

SS-III will flow with the rest of the body kit.

TRD replica will bring the look of the car down towards the rear. Ie bring the weight of the rear down (when you look at it)

I have TRD rear and OEM sides, looks funny side-on.. Full TRD is definitely a good look

yeah i don't like how the ssiii look from the rear, but i like how it looks from the sides.
the TRDs look kinda weird from the side but they look awesome from the rear i think.

ah, decisions decisions. but that's ok. just minor stuff. maybe i'll get both and switch them on and off. LOL
