I didn't spend nearly enough time hanging out and bullshitting outside the show, and spent too much time fixing cars, my own included.... silly wheel bearings

Hey, at least you did them at the dinner table so you could BS with us AND do your wheel bearings

BTW, did you see the spot on the table where the varnish got stripped off Sunday morning?

Thanks to you I now can't get those brakes off my mind

This is very true! Dude, I'm surprised I was able to stay up that long... that was 36 hrs straight with 3 hrs of sleep... I was fucking SPENT!

No, no I didn't see that... strange though... I've had other lubes strip off finishes before

Those things are AWESOME! Did you see the size of the rotors! Were you out there when we were taking them apart? i know AJ came out in disbelief just to make sure that I actually brought a rotary

I've still got some tweaking to do with them though. Ordered some new wheel studs and spacers today, decided that they look better with that extra 5mm of clearance. What I need to do is start messing around with different compounds though, the Wilwood pads that are on there kinda blow and they dust like a MOTHER, need a little less bite and a lot less dust. I've got so much clamping power and so much leverage that I want to go with a less agressive pad and shift more of the bias towards the rear. I'm still cranking down on the Prop valve and I have yet to lock up the rears... kinda discouraging considering they are a 12.2" x.81" rotor out back.... yes, that is larger than most rotaries FRONT brakes and larger still than some rotaries UPGRADED FRONT brakes.... I am brake king, hear me...... squeel?

I went out there briefly... I do blend in with the darkness a little easier than AJ
I said something but everyone was zoned out tired around your car and paid me no attention so I went back on inside

when I woke up to FB bashing I had to come to their defense. Actually seeing was awesome, those brakes are pretty damn nice. When are you gonna take them off that piece of shit and put them on something that deserves, and needs, that kind of stopping power?

[TitaniumTT]

Sooooooooooooooo perhaps I should post up the POST DGRRXI to-do list

1) CLEAN!!!!!! Compound front bumper and get rid of the impregnated bugs, cut and buff the hood, clear out the empty RedBull Cans

2) 6-spd!! Yes, it's done and ready to be installed so I can hunt down and kill the vibration

3) Belly Pan

4) New Rad Shroud

5) Brake Ducting

6) Little more fab left on the Bumper support

7) Re-Adjust the hatch latch First trip off the highway heading to DGRRXI and the trunk popped open

8) New Hatch Cable

9) Fix Fuel Gauge

10) Cupholders - shut up all!

11) Remote Start needs to be programmed

12) Properly Working Windshield wipers

13) Nozzles in the cowl

14) New SS Clutch Hardline

15) Vacuum Block

16) Touch myself

17) Wire up the Highbeams.... oops

18) New Door panels

19) New shift, ebrake, and center console boots

20) New Brake pads in the front

21) Fire Extinguisher

All in all though, I got just about everything accomplished for DGRRXI that I wanted.... but I gauruntee that there will be another laundry list in 7 months.... After all that's done, I'm going to redo the intake piping to match the BNR's inducer better. I think there's a few ponies to be had there

So, you will be done before midnight tonight? LOL!

How are you doing man? I might have to pull a copy cat, and mimic your front bumper support

I would be if I wasn't working 12+ hrs a day... tomorrow is my first day off since I got back, and my last for another week.... and I'll be prepping a boat for the season, then working on the Landi, I GOTTA get that thing done. I did get a few parts orders in today though so that's a plus. I'm slated for Daves on Wednesday, we'll see what happens though....

I'm doing well, how bout you? Saw your ride in PA, what's the deal with that? Good luck man, it's a PITA to fab and plan to take the bumper on and off a dozen times. Worth it though. Getting the ends bent to fit will be kinda a bitch though..... BTW, I'm ordering plans for a tubing bender

Man, I am doing good. Per Dave, the car should beready in a couple of weeks, I cant wait.

I hear you on the bumper, problem is that with the OEM one, its extremely difficult to mount two oil coolers, without having to cut all kind of stuff. I spent a lot of time fitting those oem fd coolers, and well, after all that work, I am not terribly happy with the results.

A tubing bender eh? A hydraulic bender? Man, you are one crazy dude Cant say I dont envy you tho

Yup, hydraulic tubing bender, should open up a few more doors of the things that I can build. Also picking up a 12 ton press this week and a set of some sort of dies

Doing any kind of dual oilcooler setup in an FC is going to be a PITA. Hell, even with my bumper it was a nightmare. So much of that ductin had to be cut away, THEN I had to add a ton of it to the top of the ducts to mate up with the oil coolers. Nightmare.... sorta. The one thing that I wish I had been able to do would've beed to find coolers that I could've tucked up against the wheel wells. The ducting would've been long, tight, and very effective..... and I would've been able to easily add in for brake ducting. I'm scratching my head on that one now but I have a few pretty sexy ideas in mind.

When Dave is done are you going to take the car back for a bit to breakin or just get straight on the dyno?

I'm trying to remember what I said but I had way too much moonshine by that point. Watching you do your bearings was hard enough to concentrate on.

that's because there was a hobbit jumping around distracting everyone

[Nismo]

I'll fix your wiper switches assuming you find me a switch that is rebuildable.
