i figure ill take this time to paint my new calipers and brackets before i put them on. :X red calipers on red car too much?

 

yeah maybe too much red...i would go like gunmetal/grey on a red car...Yellow looks really good, roblaza did that already.

red might look good, i dunno man...

 

it might look alright since I have black rims. i guess we'll see. worst case I can repaint them. gunmetal would be a good choice. wish I had thought of that before lol

 

finally got the last caliper in and got it home to paint and i had a surprise waiting for me at the front door.

little box with a wavetrac logo. I'm excited.

Crans, did you install it yourself? I'm thinking about doing both the clutch and this at the same time. that's reasonable right?

 

was that little box really heavy?

yeah you have to take the tranny out to replace the clutch, so why not split the tranny and install the diff...they are much heavier than they look aren't they?...can i see pics of the wavetrac unit? i'll show you mine if you show me yours...

make sure you drain the transmission first, LOL!

 

looks pretty much identical except for the quaife logo. pics in like 15

 

Sorry it took so long... damn comcast. anywho here they are





im pretty excited to put it in :X

I tried to get one with a pic of my acer in the background, but my phone camera didnt really pick it up lol

 

I'm looking to be right around after i get tuning. looking around 1500 plus tune. i assume 500 to be a reasonable estimate for a tune.

 

more bad news on the bad news train...

got rear ended last night by some yahoos in a miata. not too bad damage. lip- gone, bumper- meh, everything else so far looks alright. some foam fell out though so I think there might be more damage underneath. we'll see later today when i get an estimate.

 

shouldn't be too bad, happened to my other lancer a while back...

 

At least that's something your insurance will cover

 

I'm looking for a LSD but I'll wait til I see one for a good price...

 

i got mine for 995 shipped. not cheap, but pretty good. compared to RRM anyway.

i got an estimate for the damage to my bumper... 1700. In the itemized list of prices the lip alone was like 550 and the bumper was only 300. how does that work? almost double the price for the smaller piece :X and then like 800 for labor.

at least i dont have to pay for it. but damn.

 

I would like to think prolly because it has the stud mounts to mount to the bumper but idk how the bumper mounts just a thought

 

as far as i can tell it mounts the same way as the front. not for sure though. i think i might actually take this opportunity to get the MR style bumper with the black middle piece. I've always liked how it looked.
