[90and90]

pulleys in today, nate is coming over woot woot!

[KameraBoy]

hey keep us updated on how those pulleys make the car feel. and where'd you get them in blue at?

[90and90]

pulleys feel like shit because I cannot for the LIFE of me get the crank pulley to come off, I went from a 100lb ft torque impact to 200 to 300 to 400 lb ft tq impact, a can of penetrating oil and its still on there...

but they stopped making blue, its from the first batch, I picked these up from another 8th member :)

[KameraBoy]

ooo ive seen some ppl take a screw driver and stick it through one of the openings to help loosen the crank. yeah now all they make is gray and red.

oo yeah hows the weapon r header. do you got the downpipe from megan racing too?

[90and90]

updated tonight, gonna find a nice place to shoot some photos of the new retros rims and pulleys :)

yea, I ended up getting my car towed because I have free towing from aaa, so the shop decided it would be nice to rape me and charge 274 for install...

If I was looking at a first mod again for another car, I would def do pulleys first... they make better throttle response, look cool in the engine bay, reduce my stalling issues, and I dont notice a difference really on overdrive, but my lights stopped dimming when I went to hid's

thanks alot, its my only vice... I spend way too much money on it haha!




and I now know what I am doing about the exterior, I have been looking for something to spice it up alittle, I like the shaved look on the trunk so I will keep that, and now that my brakes are showing a bit better on the new rims I am going to find someplace that does custom caliper paint and get some takata green, paint the calipers that color, anodize the lugs/stems that color and get a takata custom overlay for the front H, I think it will be subtle yet sEXY!!! and if I go the route I think I am going (getting g2 to mix some paint) I will need to order a large amount, I can use the rest of the paint on some engine parts, since it will be high temp...

[90and90]

anyone know of custom brake caliper paint?

[irokster]

I give you props on the build, nice to see some R18 owners putting in work.

[Emerican]

how do you like the header and down pipe? I'm thinking about getting something for my car, but don't know yet.. either one of those or something exterior.. hmm decisions lol
