Start with the easy stuff. Have you replaced the craptastic fuel pump relay with either the green or blue one?

Yeah, Mike took care of all of the TSB's and everything. We ended up replacing three of them and another larger one. He also did the factory flashes and such. I'm still on the stock plugs too, so maybe I'll change them tomorrow just for ****s and giggles.

The weird part is that I didn't get a CEL at all and the problem occured about 3-4 times before I got worried and decided to try getting gas. I really should buy a cable to log. Maybe someone will have one at the meet that we can do a quick check.

Those look great! What clear coat did you use? I had mine replaced under warranty once and there is one in the back that has some small peeling spots, but it is on the back of the caliper. Once they all start to go again I will have to do this.

Looking good. The 30% off at Kohl's might come in handy.

you could get a good deal on some new shirts to match your freshly painted calipers.

back in high school one of my friends was notorious for matching his wardrobe to his car (red 1995 ford probe gt). it was pretty hilarious. one day he even made his girlfriend match. we made fun of him so viciously he never bothered to do it again.

Kohls caliper special

I just used the high temp engine clearcoat in a can....put about 5 coats on them..fortunately since it was so warm out, it dried to touch in about 10 minutes...

Looks a little too high brow for me. You think if I shop at Kohl's that I can enter the fashion show?
