F-Body brakes on the GA.
http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/...psb54d79ec.jpg
went with cheep rotors after all that debate i had.
http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6590a820.jpg
they might be the cheap brand, but they're so much larger and thicker, i don't thick they'll have a problem.

remanufactured raybestos calipers. PITA. had a rounded off bolt on one. and the clips were rubbing the rotors. i trimmed and modified the clips to work.
http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1f144b40.jpg
then i had to trim the plastic covers on the wheels. the calipers rubbed the spokes.

Nice job :D looks great although I'm surprised, you didn't want to paint the calipers?

TDavis 12-17-2013 07:35 PM

If I lived near you I would. That bothers me more then anything seeing as literally 98.9% of the GAs I see out there have SOMETHING out in the rear. Never full functioning bulbs. It's not that hard to change them, looks stupid too.

But I've said that before about certain bulbs being out. I rant to myself everytime I see it.

None of the lights are out on my GA... I know what you mean though, it drives me crazy too

TDavis 12-17-2013 07:45 PM

IF they're all working its always a GT, rare. But no SE's have them all working. Only 1 or 2 GTs.

Thank You! I couldn't decide what color to paint them. i even thought about polishing them and painting them chrome to match the wheels. BUT that was too much work so i went for the sleeper look.

Hey dont feel bad I used r1concepts cheap,cheap set, the E-line slotted drilled set they have been on the car since early 09 I have not had to change anything since I put them on, even the pads are still in good shape.

http://www.r1concepts.com/p-168418-c...ed-rotors.aspx

I paid less then $100 for both fronts.

Just checked my invoice from june 09 it was $105.

Mine neither.



Also chaos what did the sticker on the back of your GA say? I've seen it a couple times now and cant really readt it.

sleepyalero 12-18-2013 08:14 PM

I think it was a remembrance sticker for his friend who had passed away.

Yup. He was run off the road by a spiteful off duty sheriff, his Scion xA slid into the grassy median, flipped onto its roof into the oncoming lanes of the highway where a speeding Honda Ridgeline blasted the Scion. He was ejected from the sunroof...his spine fractured and broke all his ribs, he died from cardiac arrest due to blood loss. He was 19. =[

sleepyalero 12-18-2013 08:40 PM

So sad. Happy I remembered though. Sorry about your friend buddy! :(

[ChaosweaveR] 12-18-2013 08:44 PM

It's okay. The lime green ribbon I keep around my Accord's mirror always reminds me of him. That will be in every car I own.

Pontiac_guy99 12-18-2013 09:00 PM

That's too bad. Sorry for your friend.

Still my favorite tails.

gtsouth 12-19-2013 01:20 AM

Well, two weeks ago I put in a new starter. This weekend while visiting my daughter my alternator took a ****. Oh well. 200,000 miles on her now. It's all good.

Kayaus 12-19-2013 08:36 AM

Damn those tails look amazing, how did you clear the red though? Or are they:

He tinted part of the taillights.

2000 GT Coupe 12-19-2013 08:53 AM

Those are the same as mine or very very close.

I did not tint mine but they might look good tinted.

Kayaus 12-19-2013 08:59 AM

Yeah now I have fully tinted stocks, but since I got TruGreens fogs I feel like I have to LED everything now, my friend did a 5050 tint on his '12 maxima tails and I love the look it gives, but never thought to do it on the GA... might steal your tint pattern Chaos lol

[ChaosweaveR] 12-19-2013 09:06 AM

I'm the only one to rock 2nd gen LED tails 50/50 tinted like that. I don't mind if somebody does it.

I'd love to see somebody get a set of chrome 2nd gens and 50/50 red tint them.

Kayaus 12-19-2013 09:15 AM

What do you mean? Like this:

http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/...11FE054EA9.png

My sausage fingers can't be too precise on my phone

TDavis 12-19-2013 09:21 AM

50/50 contrast lol

Oh I was talking about the taillights that chaos had on his GA.

TDavis 12-19-2013 10:05 AM

Chrome tails=sht. You either tint them or don't buy at all.

If you 50/50 tint the 1st gen red lens tails, which are the best BTW, it would just look weird unless the car is red.

[ChaosweaveR] 12-19-2013 11:59 AM

Ugh, noobs.

Take a 2nd gen pair of LED tails, in all chrome, and tint them 50/50 like how I did mine.

The effect is this:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...R/recaro/s.jpg
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...2/4eb50396.jpg

50/50 = two colors

Get it now?

TDavis 12-19-2013 12:02 PM

Who wasn't getting it?

[ChaosweaveR] 12-19-2013 12:09 PM

Joe and Scott lol

Kayaus 12-19-2013 12:16 PM

Lol now I gotcha, it's not bad, but I think it would look better on a red car

[ChaosweaveR] 12-19-2013 02:46 PM

Red/white tails look nice with any color, IMO.

I know a guy named Joe Scott!

ItsMeScottG 12-19-2013 07:04 PM

My neighbor just sold his white 1986 Fiero GT that's only had 42k on it.

He sold it for only $4,500

Here is the car he sold last week.

http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/4230748758.html

sleepyalero 12-19-2013 07:37 PM

I would so buy that.

[ChaosweaveR] 12-19-2013 08:14 PM

Uh...that's no Fiero interior...

The exterior pictures are real, I have no clue why he posted that interior picture because that was not the interior. I know the milage is correct and the exterior pictures are very real. The car was beautiful.

2000 GT Coupe 12-19-2013 08:22 PM

Damn that is a nice car, where is that like button lol

He had a 08 corvette and the 86 fiero GT. Well when he sold the fiero last week he immediately replaced it with some 2013 SLK AMG Benz that only has like 300 miles on it. The guy has so many toys.
