Plasti Dipped my stock wheels Blaze Blue just for fun and to protect them through winter! Turned out pretty good, except I'd recommend doing it with the wheels off of the car. Definitely a lot easier to get all the angles.

I did this a little over a week ago but never got around to posting a picture until now.
Custom 2 gauge panel made by me using a radio delete panel along with an RS radio A/C bezel. Purchased parts through STM and as usual had great service. http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2200/1017021945.jpg |
Oil change Amsoil 5w30 and spark plugs NGK BPR7ES. And waxed the roof and spoiler with Maguires wax.
|
Installed a MAP ported exhaust manifold. Everything was going great then I fumbled a bolt and guess where it landed? Right in the flippin' turbine housing. Had to pull that side off to get it out. Whoops.
Installed my FP "red" inline oil filter (JB turbos). Finished it all off with a Rotella T6/OEM filter oil change. Nice night of wrenching, all in all. |
Washed her and getting her ready for winter. Buying a set of beater evo 8 rims tomorrow with new Blizzaks.

Went wingless and installed a buschur racing catback with a test pipe

Washed it, scrubbed the tire walls with Tuf Shine to get all of the brown **** from the brakes and road off, cleaned the door jams, doors, and trunk lid with OSD No Rinse, detailed the interior with 303 Aerospace, Stoner Invisible Glass, and Meguiars Leather Treatment. Vacuumed afterwards, really wishing I had an orbital buffer and the talent to wet sand to take out all of these terrible clear coat scratches and spider webs.
I also polished the stock exhaust tip with some APC Grimereaper and steel wool. Looks incredible for a stock tip on a 7+ year old exhaust system. Attachment 280590 |

Removed stock o2 housing for a Titek, found that although the studs werent welded in like it was on my 8, the o2 sensor was... and the tool that is used to remove it, only removed all the edges off the surface so theres not much more of a chance of this thing coming out, lol. That and the wg bolts to the Tomei turbo are a MAJOR pita while the radiator is in there... At this point Im pretty well versed in getting the front end and most everything in that area out in about 15min h0h0
