Thanks. And no for now because they will melt from what I am told LOL... I was going to stencil the logo but we couldnt find it. For now I am going to leave it alone. It will be tucked away behind a black wheel so it shouldnt be over bearing... I will try to find the stickers(ebay) and will hold on to them until I can make a decision...

Melt...Really? Even if there are 2 or 3 coats of clear over top the stickers?? The valve cover and calipers look sick!! I just sanded my front calipers today...doing the rears tomorrow...and I am painting them black with white stickers...got the stickers off ebay...


Looking forward to the HTA Green results...

Thanks guys. When the sun hits them they look amazing. I have heard of the stickers melting if you raod course the car. I know I boiled the brakes on the RS4 LOL... The evo wont be any different. Just trying to avoid any hassle. I also didnt want to clear over the sticker in case there was something I didnt like about it. Its still up in the air. Yeah, I cant wait to get the green on there. I think it will be the perfect street turbo. I am also running the FP4R cams. This thing should have tons of low-mid end power. I will get the car together and then do some mild tuning. I still want to install a clutch, 64mm tb, and ported intake mani before I push it on 93 octane. Gonna take this in steps. The best part are the mods are mild. It will give us real world numbers easily obtainable by anyone. No secrets, no meth, no E85. Nothing really. Just some Forced Performance, Buschur, AWDMOTORSPORTS bolt ons. I've even only bought one lightweight part and thats the front center mount from Buschur... That and I replaced the rusted stock rotors for Girodisc ones. There is going to be about a two week down time while I wait for parts to arrive. I'm going to start cleaning everything and finish up all the loose ends. I really am having a blast working on this thing...

The 2 piece rotors will help alot but I'd suggest brake cooling ducts as well if that's not already in the mix. Chances are that you will cook the new paint if you don't have good brake cooling, not to mention the performance benefit on a road course. Not sure about he decals since I've yet to track mine.

I'm going to spend a few days on each wheel well cleaning the mud and corrosion out while I have some down time on the wait. I'll take some pics of the parts as they come in. And most importantly spend some time with the family. Went out and bought my son his first pair of shoes Thats the good stuff right there. Also let him drive through the neighborhood He doesnt quite have the hang of it yet LOL... But he likes sitting up there with me so its fun... Gotta get him ready for the junior dragster

The calipers are a nice touch.... are you going with the regular Girodisc Rotors or the Two Piece?

Can't wait to see your other improvements!.
