nice to see someone else who appreciates the lines of an FD without slapping a big gaudy wing on the back

and black FDs RULE (need to dump my red one)

Mark, why are you getting rid of your red one? Not happy with the color?

hey Darril,

yeah I always wanted a black FD, red is too common and fades too easily

of course black cars have their own set of problems

You should turn around your rotors. It will make a difference.

i personally would rewire your radar detector into the roof and just use a relay from the ignition. That cord would bother me.

nice car.

I see. I'll get in touch with you when the CYM is fixed (oil pan gasket) and when the weather is nice so you can check out the CYM

Mark... I was going to sell the car... but I'm probably going to hold onto it untill the new Rx7 comes out... Might as well since the car is practically new since I've replaced everything in it
...Talk about a 135k tune up from hell.

As for the brakes... I'm about 90% positive that the lines should point towards the front of the car not the rear...?

Thanks racer....

Oh as an FYI for those trying to figure out which to get, 99 or C-west...

PFC Air Temp readings
Before (stock bumper): 19*C when at freezing outside (32*)(Night-Time)
Day time: 34-40 *C (When in 40's)

After (C-West): 8-12*C When at freezing (Night-time)
Day-Time: 22-30*C (When in 40's)
(All on highway)

But FWIW... Get the 99' because I don't want everyone to look like me on the road

if you are going forward the wheel will spin cw.

when you apply the brakes the slots will grab the pads and not be cooled as efficent.

they are on backwards..........

He has them on right. The real concern is directional vains...I don't think the rotors he has actually has directional vains.
