jcrome04 Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Looking good! How has braking improved? Drastically?
ArmyofOne Posted April 18, 2009 Author 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.
ArmyofOne Posted April 19, 2009 Author 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.
jcrome04 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 She's coming along nicely B) I suggest doing something about that huge chrome monstrosity that Honda calls a "grill" :lol:
Lucky13 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 You mean that little plastic bar?...Thats an insult to the word "grille" ;)
ArmyofOne Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 You mean that little plastic bar?...Thats an insult to the word "grille" ;) Meh, it doesnt bother me. Im eventually gonna paint it black though.
jcrome04 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Black would look excellent B) Make it look a little sportier.
ArmyofOne Posted April 20, 2009 Author 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.
Lucky13 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 If you go carbon fiber that may be over the top yea. Next thing u know you'l be painting your hood black and puting decals on the side...
ArmyofOne Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah the "black chrome" look would be nice. Thats what I am thinking. And no im not gonna do a CF grille. Are you crazy? I like the look of CF, but a CF grille Vs. Composit plastic is what, 6 oz. weight savings? Nah, thx. Lexus Black Pearl emblems FTMFW.

jcrome04 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 CF only deserves to be on the Mugen Si. Not even the reg Si deserves it B) haha
Lucky13 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Yea and even then you had better have some mods to back it up.
jcrome04 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Like 3.5" Exhaust and rainbow neons????? :D :D :D :D
ArmyofOne Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 Like 3.5" Exhaust and rainbow neons????? :D :D :D :D NEG-A-TIVE!!!! I wouldnt mind some blue neons tho..
Lucky13 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Like 3.5" Exhaust and rainbow neons????? :D :D :D :D And decals on the hood, doors, windshield, and rear window. A high performance filter to...because that adds 300 hp you know....
