I'll introduce you mon petit bijou

 

Wheels finally!

 

Looks good. if you want some one inch spacers for the rear to push them out a bit, PM me

Is that plastidip on the handles and gas cap? That gas cap kinda needs a decal or logo now lol

 

yeah i think imma need a spacer for the back. what u got?

its plastidip and the color is fading bad. i think im gonna peel an do something different. might try out the new chameleon dips thats out now.

 

Specs on rims and tires?

 

SSR Type F 16x7 +42 running on stock OEM Dunlops 185/55/16

 

So you were the one that bought the new type f's??? Lucky. Anyway, you can get away with 5mm spacer on the rear, 10 if your not slammed.

 

Yesterday I washed her, today I gave her a fresh coat of wax and a good interior cleaning. I'm also noticing a pattern among my vehicles

 

hahe yeah its me =)

 

Installed Porterfield R4-S pads. Full on panic stop 40-0 is noticeably improved over stock but not a ton of difference in grab or pedal feel in normal situations. I got them more so to help prevent fade that I was experiencing than anything else but I haven't had a chance to try them out in that aspect yet.

I haven't changed fluid or bled the system because I wanted a direct comparison over stock and doing so would skew my impressions. Rotors still well withiin spec and not warped at all so i'm still using the OEM rotors.


In other news, one of my Silverstars burnt out. Lasted all of 6 months, idk why i'm surprised though. Won't do that again. I'll get the Nightbreakers again or the Nokya stage II setup just to see how it is in person.

 

I plastidip'd the painted parts of my mirrors, and they have not faded at all. Sounds like you need to clean up good, and then lay down 2-3 more layers.

my one-inch spacers are the threaded kind. not just giant washers, but you bolt them, to the hub then the wheel bolts to them. Very sturdy.

I suggest you go outside and measure somehow to see if you can actually fit an entire inch above and around the tire as it sits. Keep in mind that the tire tucks a bit under big bumps.

PM me for a price


also, plastidip is paintable. Hit a few more layers up, then paint to your own color wants

 

i didn't put enough coats on when i first did it. i was kinda experimenting and the coats didnt come down too evenly. besides some ass scratched up the dip with their door so it needs to come off anyway. it served its purpose well!

 

Doesn't look like he's slammed... I have 16x7 +42 with 10mm spacers on the back and it looks great and it's far from rubbing. I'm only lowered on Swifts though, stock struts/shocks. I do have 205/50 tires too, not the narrower 185s. From eyeballing it though I'm almost positive the tire would still tuck if slammed. I do have rolled fenders though, so that changes things. Only thing with 10mm spacers is you should go with extended studs, which I did. I hate the bolt on spacers, but obviously you could go that route and not replace studs.

 

how would i go about measuring the gap from? from tire to wheel well? or from the hub flush to the fender? i would think tire to wheel well to prevent rubbing??

 

Yup, plus 1 on the extended studs. It should come with it, whatever you buy. I have h&r's

 

Made it to Edmonton on half a tank, then back on the same. 450 km trip, plus going to the junkyards for truck parts. Didn't find any Fits, but Pick n Pull and Bucks wouldn't likely get something like that. Dozens of Rangers to steal parts for the wife's truck, though.

 

At the recommendation of some of the guys in the audio forum I picked up the Pioneer DEH-80PRS single din from Crutchfield. Test fit along with the matching color OEM nav panel and waiting for some other parts to come in.
Reminder: plug in the air bag light before turning back on the car or it will trigger that dash light.

 

Today? I washed my '13 PMM.
