i haven't done one either, but i would like to help, just to learn something new... I dont see why it wold be very hard.. lol

Also i have found a front set of Q45 Calipers w/ brand new pads if anyone is interested

upsdude · 11-07-2009, 09:34 PM

*sigh* well, i haven't really done anything to my car yet...i still gotta core the z32 calipers, and i need r33 brake cables...which means i will now need 5-lug rims and new tires (goddamit). and to make things worse, i decided to complicate my project even further. i'll only say this: powder coat gun and toaster oven

I blame dino

LOUD240 · 11-07-2009, 10:19 PM

its always the old guys fault

LOUD240 · 11-07-2009, 10:22 PM

upsdude · 11-07-2009, 10:39 PM

hey "old man"

lemme know if you're able to get a deal on the mb battles

LOUD240 · 11-07-2009, 10:43 PM

this where the 240started hope pic loads

LOUD240 · 11-07-2009, 10:45 PM

apparently not

upsdude · 11-19-2009, 12:24 PM

ok so, i have a maroon car. i would like to know what color(s) are going to go well with my new bronze mb battles

. i'd like to color my calipers, but i wanna do something other than the standard red/black/gold. i was thinking purple lugs with a candy color purple for the calipers...kinda like this:

kinda flashy though, but i think it looks nice. here are some other candy colors i was considering:

this is a blue, but it's not the normal shade

i've got my ebrake lines and SS conversion lines coming soon just need some new rotors and i'll have everything to swap out the brakes. anyone wanna buy some 18-inch 4-lug rims with falken tires? :P

*Drift N Dragg* · 11-24-2009, 12:05 PM

Wakkkkkeeeeee UPPPPPPppppppPPPpp, Hiiiiiiiiiiiigh Desssssseeeerrrrrrrrtttttt!!!!

Damnit I am Bored!

spooled240 · 11-24-2009, 01:52 PM

whats up guys? Jason hit me up if you need help with your brake swap...I haven't done the z32 brake swap but i've done the 5 lug swap which can be pretty difficult if the hubs are rusted on. I'm sure the z32 brake swap is pretty straight-forward being a bolt-on application.

I went to court and paid the 125 dollar ref ticket(dammit that's a HKS bov right there, lol) changed my oil to synthetic once again and cut the grass...now i'm gonna work out before i go to work

upsdude · 11-24-2009, 10:19 PM

i'll do the swap once i get all my parts in. waiting for the steel braided lines from pdm, and cotter pins from courtesy. already got my r33 ebrake cables in...and i've exchanged the junkyard calipers for rebuilt ones

just need rotors for the front, and some powder coat and i'll be set..oh and i need tires. trying to wait for dino to respond but he's been M.I.A lately.

oh and if the hubs are rusted in maybe i'll shot the bolts with some pb blaster first.

LOUD240 · 11-24-2009, 11:30 PM

sorry my mom went into the hospital monday and its been kinda a bad wait for the docs to get things handled

spooled240 · 11-25-2009, 12:21 AM

^sorry to hear that bro =/

upsdude · 11-25-2009, 11:46 PM

goddamn that's a quick little car

Yellow4g63 · 11-26-2009, 12:02 AM

The best so far was a 6.7@107. More seat time and some adjustments they will get faster.

spooled240 · 11-26-2009, 11:11 AM

according to the calculators that's a 10 sec car on the 1/4!

Yellow4g63 · 11-26-2009, 03:37 PM

When they are ready to drop in the race motor it's going to make double the horse power and should be very interesting to watch.

spooled240 · 11-26-2009, 07:24 PM

they are gonna have to make some other tweaks to use all that extra power cuz it might just turn into a smoke machine lol

what motor is it btw? sr20?

upsdude · 11-26-2009, 07:32 PM

Happy thanksgiving guys! since i had my kid this year, we're doing thanksgiving and Xmas at home for a change instead of driving to ppls houses. i even got lights up the house for the first time ever haha. well hope you guys have a good holiday
