[El_Tortuga]

Nice polish job

[2012mustang76123]

Need you to wash my car lol

[03MachMe]

well the rest took a little longer than I was expecting, but finally got everything done.

Ran into some trouble with the Brembos on the first try to install so I had to order some SS lines. finally got it all installed and working tonight.

First day of install got the Koni yellows and Whiteline Trans bushing done. no pictures because I was too frustrated about about the brembos.

after I ordered some SS lines I got them in and everything bolted right up.

Old vs new

and Got my wheels im going to use for autocross in today. Like others I couldn't pass up the $200 black Friday price for a full set of wheel. I know the 18x9 will not be optimal but they will work until I really deiced to get serious and then I will go with some light weight 18x11s anyways.

[Dan12GT]

I've been wanting to do the same to my rotors. Just some brush on high temp paint?

[03MachMe]

I used the spray caliper paint

[Dan12GT]

I used the spray caliper paint

cool thanks!

[Shiftybusiness]

How do you like the Koni yellows with the Eibach Sportline springs? I was looking into a set of the yellows but have read that with the Sportline springs that the ride was bad.

[Toby]

Very cool Ryan! The blue calipers look good!

[03MachMe]

I have had zero issues. I read that too and was a little worried but glad I stuck with the sportlines. Mine is not a daily but the ride is more comfortable that it was with stock shocks amd struts. As long as you have the shorter bump stops that came with the sportlines you will be fine.

[03MachMe]

Very cool Ryan! The blue calipers look good!

Thanks I like the look just wish they popped a little more. Still debating on painting them yellow in the future

[re-rx7]

Man that just tells you how bad the stock shocks and struts really are. They have no rebound or damping.

Have you thought about having them powdercoated??

[03MachMe]

Have you thought about having them powdercoated??

What color? To do paint match powder coat I was quoted 250 or something like that. For yellow it's like 100. The color isn't off because I did a crappy job painting it's just the difference in material, no primer etc. In person it's really not that much off just didn't pop like I was wanting it to.

I guess just any color. I was thinking about doing red for mine. $250 doesn't seem too bad. I know the guy that does powder coating on SVTP will tear them down, coat them, and then reassemble them with new something (brain fart) and it's not too bad of a cost. Don't know an exact number though.

[03MachMe]

Yea he was the 250 quote. I will see how this paint holds up and if it doesn't like the temps of racing I will prolly powder coat them

[03MachMe]

Finally got the tires mounted to the rims. Cant wait to test them out next weekend

[DirtyD]

Dammit that looks so badass. I'm really kicking myself right now.

[JDMLOL]

I agree. I sort of bought my anniversary wheels on impulse because of the deal on them and wasn't sure if I really liked them or not. I'm glad I bought them now!

[El_Tortuga]

Nice. What are the tires?

[03MachMe]

Thanks guys

How often do you go?

[03MachMe]

I try to go once a month but usually every other month

[El_Tortuga]

Sound is really good. Are you using external mic?

[03MachMe]

Sorry just saw that^^ No I am not.

a couple updates. New exhaust thanks to Shane who wanted to trade.

Kooks AB. I love the tone with these just not quite loud enough. I guess LTs and O/R H or X are in my future.

Decided I wanted a set of 20" rims for street use and maybe SCCA autocross so I can run a street tire class and compete. So I sold the drifts and am on the lookout for a new set of rims. I am thinking a 5 spoke design, maybe Avant Garde M550 or M510. Still trying to decide tho. Also decided to take off the stripes so she is naked again. She needs a full detail and good wax but here is how she sits in her "temporary" shoes.

[DirtyD]

Hopefully I can here that Kooks AB sometime soon. How does it compare tone wise to the Roush? Little deeper or raspier?

What next stripe wise?

[03MachMe]

Kooks are definitely deeper. More of a old school muscle car sound. I just got a prochamber mid I'm going to throw on to see how it sounds, hopefully a little louder. And for stripes I think I'm going to leave it stripe less for a while.

[03MachMe]

Looks great man. How's the tire fitment relative to the fenders? What's the offset on those wheels too? I can't remember.

[03MachMe]

pretty much flush front and rear. rear may rub a little if i go over a large bump but front is perfect. offset is +40

even caught a neighborhood kid checking it out lol

[DirtyD]

Haha. That's a funny pic

You had to get spacers for the Brembos, right?

[garner]

That looks really good

[Crimson600+HP]

Nice square setup. Wonder how the INVOs will do to some HPDE...what made you go with those instead of another brand?

Just curious.

[03MachMe]

Haha. That's a funny pic

yea not as much for the brembos but to clear the strut

Nice square setup. Wonder how the INVOs will do to some HPDE...what made you go with those instead of another brand?

Just curious.

price and availability. I wanted a street tire that wasn't going to wear out in a year, so no Rivals or NT05s, but something that will get decent traction if I decide to do a track day on them. Then I was going to go with the Toyo Proxy T1R, in 305/30 but they were on back order with no date when they would be in.

How much did you need?

[03MachMe]

How much did you need?

Got a 3mm but probably could have gotten away with 2mm

[donutninja]

looking killer, man! Is yours a daily? I'm curious to see how you like the Invo's.

[03MachMe]

looking killer, man! Is yours a daily? I'm curious to see how you like the Invo's.

No its not my daily but still gets plenty of driving time. I'm sure I'll drive it everyday the weather is nice for a while to get a feel for the new tires

[DirtyD]

Got a 3mm but probably could have gotten away with 2mm
Sweet. That's very minimal.

[01svtL]

How was the ride with stock shocks/struts? I'm back and forth between going for the Sportlines or the BMR springs. It'll be another 6-8 months before I can pick up aftermarket shocks/struts.

Did the lower control arms have anything to do with the ride?

[01svtL]

Also, did you ever weigh your stock wheels? I've seen them quoted at 26 lbs and at 28 lbs.

Ride with just the sportlines was pretty rough. Not unbearable tho. And YES the LCA's were necessary. I didn't have them at first and had a lot of popping in the rear when going over Bumps. Both sportlines and BMR are really good springs.

Never did. I have the brembos in the garage still but they have tires mounted so the weight would be with tires.

[03MachMe]

Did some more work on the car yesterday. Finally fished up my projects before summer hits. Painted the calipers yellow. The paint match before was always a shade or two off and it bugged me. Also installed some ground control cc plates to give me some more adjustability for the track. All in all I am happy with the way she sits right now. Still a few small things, roush front splitter, maybe new grille, and maybe RTR LP surround, but I love the new look and rides much smoother with the taller tire as well.

[DirtyD]

You can really see the tire height difference in the rear. Dang, talk about a tight squeeze.

[DirtyD]

Also, did you ever weigh your stock wheels? I've seen them quoted at 26 lbs and at 28 lbs.
I want to say that Vorshlag weighed the Brembos and Pirelli P Zeros from their 2011 car and came out around 56-57# tire and wheel, and around 32# for the wheels alone.

Are you still on sportlines? Did you reuse the stock strut mounts? How's the ride?

Yes I am still on sportlines. And I was in the stock mounts till last week. Installed some ground control CC plates. The ride on stock shocks was OK, but is great now that I added koni yellow shocks and struts.

Were you not able to get it aligned correctly before the plates?
