ArmyofOne Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Looking good!How has braking improved? Drastically? umm...yeah, to say the least LOL. the old rotors were SHOT. thin and warped so bad that you could see it just by rotating with your hand.

jcrome04 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Oh wow.. Driving her a little TOO spirited?? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyofOne Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Oh wow..Driving her a little TOO spirited?? :D No, not at all, It was whatever the previous owner had done. I think it was from lack of being driven. I bought it in 08 with less than 20k miles. it was built in sept 2005 as a 2006 model...and according to carfax, was purchased originally in Las Vegas in october of 2005. so it wasnt driven alot, and when it was it was HOT. Rotors warp, it happens. Well, not anymore LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcrome04 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Black would look excellent B) Make it look a little sportier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyofOne Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Black would look excellent B)Make it look a little sportier. Well it is either that or get a CF one. I like the look of CF but I am afraid it will look too aggressive for this car. after all...it is NOT the Si, and it is NOT fast. Peppy, yes...fast enough for CF, no...not really. I was honestly thinking of smoking it. Much like the Pearl Black/Gray Lexus Badges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
