Sesshoumaru-

Well i cant say that i like her, but pretty much that i love her.

I just got in from figuring out the wiring for the radio, pretty messed up but i think i got it to the point to where i know whats going on, ill probably have american put the deck in for me.

I capped off the leak on the oil catch and i found some bushings for the shifter on the net and they should be on their way. are you sure that the brakes just need pads? or should i go all out with rotars too?

good luck with your new FC, i know it must have been hard to part from this one, because im already attached to it.

IanS-
I live about 20 - 25 mins northwest of the quad cities.

haven't tore into the na yet.

i'll wait until i get the parts from a s5 interior/suspension/motor i bought.


The previous owner cut the harness and it took me a long time to figure it out also.

If you can see the colors you can go off those..... I also had a 6 disc changer in there.

I personally would go with new rotor/pads. You can get the same brembo rotors off ebay or get normal rotors for considerably cheaper. You could try to have them turned also.

i had the front rotors turned about 2,000 miles ago by orielly's but had to use old pads...... that's a long story....



when ur ready turn it up to 10 psi

oh ill be turning the boost up, but it might be a good idea to have some good brakes first. then ill think about going out and buying a boost controler.

im going after this to go license it today, so its time for trouble.
