Yeah, shaving key holes, door handles, etc. is stupid and pointless IMO. They are there for a reason and eliminating them doesn't really add anything to the aesthetics of the car. Sometimes you might need the trunk keyhole too... if you can't use the button in the car or it fails, you can't get into the trunk. Just as an example, I used to enter my car in shows where you were required to disconnect the battery from the car... my battery is in the trunk... if I shut off the power and had no key hole, I would have had NO WAY to get into my trunk and turn the power back on. Plus I'd keep my stuff locked in the trunk while I'd walk around the show and look at the rest of the cars. ;) |
Cuz ya know. A lot of people have their battery in the trunk lol
I'm finding it hard to find a reason that u need to disconnect the battery for a car show. |
Yeah I'm confused as to why the battery had to be disconnected for a show as well.

I thought it was stupid as well, but it was an indoor show and was required by the fire marshal, as well as having 1/4 tank of gas or less (also stupid). |

They don't mind your plate being like that I take it? It's creative, I wish I lived in a 1 plate state.

There was a bill introduced to try and pass only issuing one plate for Missouri but I don't believe it ever passed. And it doesn't surprise me that Illinois is a 2 plate state because you all have some seriously ridiculous laws! |
Received my SS brake lines from STILLEN. Would definately recommend ordering your lines from them since they where the only ones I could find that still had them available, didn't find them on eBay.
Bought them and they said they where made to order which is nice so you know you're getting a brand new product and they said they would take 1-1.5 weeks to get made and ship. Got that email on the 8th of July. I wasn't in no hurry so I callled them on the 21st to get an update on them and talked to Stanley and he said he would call GoodRidge and get an update and e-mail the details. A day passed and I got his e-mail with the tracking number on Tuesday and they got here today. So STILLEN has my approval. Also thanks to Starglow for giving me the link to the right banjo bolts everything arrived today so its on time, took 2 days to get here since Brakconnect is based in Tennessee. BTW my rear lines shouldn't be as stressed in the air since my car is lowered correct? http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps022c70c4.jpg Quote:
I truely believe you should be fine with 1 plate, if you get a ticket I'll pay for yours lol My dad knows Carl Edwards closely and knows his dad and his dad still runs around here in his New black GT500 with no plates AT ALL and gets away with it lol |

|
How much did it cost those of you with the sc/t kits to get them painted up? It will cost me roughly 800 to 850 to buy and get it shipped. I am still thinking on getting it soon though. We'll see.

So what's your question? I don't see a question mark in there anywhere. ;) But yeah, really not enough info to make a judgement call. Mileage isn't that different between the cars. It really depends on what condition the rest of the cars are in and if either of them needs any other repairs and what it would cost. In my opinion, LIM gasket replacement isn't that hard or expensive to do, so if that's all it needs and you can do it yourself or get it done cheap, I'd fix it. Even if you eventually decide to sell it, it will be worth more if it's fixed and running, so you'll get your money back out of the repair. |
I decided to install brand new stock fog lights and put in some very nice and bright LED bulbs. They are very white and bright. I also put in brand new reverse light fixtures in the bumper and used LEDs in them as well. Here are some pics of my lighting now. It wasn't dark enough to get the full effect.

Go with REAL led fogs, and CFL halos. Not the best picture nor angle but you get the idea

I do have a pair of HIDs for the headlights that I have never gotten around to installing yet. Now my fogs make them look so yellow.
Also about the banjo bolts. What and where do I need to order the correct ones for my ss lines? I'm still confused as to why I can't just use the ones that are on my calipers now if the ones that came with the ss lines do not work. Thanks. |
How do you not understand? I just told you because the banjo bolt they supply is too short.
StarGlow explained it in a thread somewhere more in depth. Here's the ones you need: http://www.brakeconnect.com/product/...bolt-m10-x-1-0 |

lim gasket if you do it yourself will be roughly $200. that will include antifreeze, oil, filter and naturally the lim gasket.
|
You need a uim gasket too. ;)
|
that usually comes in the set when you get the lim.
|
Yeah i got all the parts my buddy's dad is doing it
This is wht i been driving since my ga went down http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/...0CF6719C60.jpg |
You can also just reuse your stock banjo bolts for the new lines. Just make sure to use the new copper washers that come with the goodridge lines.
As mentioned if you have camaro calipers, bolt from the kit will be too short. There was also someone who had posted that the bolts from the kit had the wrong thread pitch; I had that problem as well. Turns out the bolts supplied with the lines had the thread pitch for rear drums, and didn't fit for front or rear calipers. Reusing stock ones worked fine. Quote:
