I'm surprised nobody mentioned it (though TBH I barely skimmed, so I might've just missed it)
you can get the fast beeps if the battery in your key is dying. Try a new battery and see if that fixes the issue. GL!
Can personally recommend SWAT Motorsports. Over on the Summerlin-side of town. Did my car and chrome delete (before I got my visors). Great service, cool guys.
I didn't see that until now D: I wonder if we got to meet? There were some amazing rides there.
In fact, there were a lot of photographers out there, I'd love to see the photos
Correct. There's a decent portion of the rotor that hasn't been touched. As far as I can tell, the entire pad is used, but the rotor is oversized. I don't mind, but yeah, something seems goofy with that kit.
it squeals sometimes, but I've read that more aggressive brakes can do that. I properly lubricated all the contact points and performed a bed-in, and most of the time they're silent. The brake pedal is much stiffer now and I can stop on a dime :)
(again, though, this is probably doable with...
I got the Wilwood 4-pot kit from TSP. When it arrived, my pads were 1/4" too thick to fit inside the caliper and rotors that came in the kit. My options were to put my stock brakes back on, or grind the meat off the pads until they fit. Since I used loctite on the bolts, had waited 5 weeks to...
If you're dipping that low in 3rd, try running in 2nd until you can upshift into 3rd and land in a higher RPM. For 3rd gear pulls, you'll just have to feather the throttle if you don't want clutch slippage, especially if you're full bolt ons and/or flex fuel.
these cars have a lot of torque in the lower bands; the motor will get you up to speed in normal casual driving without needing boost. If you're putting some umph into it, I'd stay in the higher rev range as much as possible, or keep the throttle off the floor until you are. I try to keep the...
Question: do you guys sell just the black diamond tips (not the conversion kit, I already have the triple-tip regular chrome)? I don't see it on the website. I'd be interested in just the tips. Thank you :D
I feel bad because I didn't post my post until much later after I joined the forums. I was worried since I didn't have all my mods on the car. I should've done it sooner and I am very sorry for that.
You helped me and so many others in the past. I hope you know how much we appreciate you...
I am guessing there's something in the engine in the CDM (or in the USDM) that required them to move it to the driver's side, since the European models also have theirs on the passengers'

I guess for me, my fear is that the spacer would be a fail point. Even though mine are hub centric and weren't cheap, and I had mine torqued to 85 ft/lbs... I dunno. Something about them makes me paranoid.
...I sure did like how they looked tho :cry:
I've always been a tinkerer. Working on cars is very therapeutic for me. I lose myself in the task at hand, and the tools I'm using, and music playing, and the sweat on my brow. It's why I've installed every single piece on this car myself except for my springs. It's work to be sure, but it's...
