No i would just bch at ya.

my buddy sets drinks, keys, parts and everything else on his car and im like ooooohhh.... Bad! Lol

The truck is a totally different story than the truck, it gets spray paint, duct tape, whatever it needs to hold it together until a proper fix can be had, the car, or the wife's ride, that is all actually fixed. I just need something to redneck injunuity-ize

sleepyalero · 07-07-2013, 07:15 PM

Its a ford truck right? Meh. Let it fall apart!

TDavis · 07-07-2013, 07:27 PM

Didn't feel like going to get something to eat for lunch at work so I decided to eat poptarts, listen to podcasts, and chill in the delivery vehicle so I could waste its gas with the A/C on rather waste my gas

. I can say this, it is interesting to see your car in a "different light" when you'r in another car looking back at it. It's so odd on how the camera makes my paint look immaculate.

I did the redneck repairs on the S10 too

Tanner, maybe your paint just isn't as bad as you think it is

Nah, the camera doesn't show details very well, my car looked awesome in that pic when I went and picked it up from the detailer, and it's got several small scratches

sleepyalero · 07-07-2013, 07:35 PM

don't have a scale down here to weight the stock one but it is significantly heavier than the CF one.

I posted all the hood weights on here somewhere once.... loooong time ago. It's probably buried. I don't remember exactly, but I think stock hood was like 40 lbs, and my SD hood (prepped and painted) was like 28 lbs. I got the cerious CF sc/t hood after that and it was like 22 lbs. It was also ****ty build quality though and significantly weaker than the SD hood.

maybe i'll do the rear setup like Aaron has now. have to find that thread i know i had one of the things that were needed. think all i would need was rotors and pads since i had the vette rears already.

You mean stock brakes right?

If you have the 'vette rear calipers already, you'll need 'vette pads and GXP rotors, but you also need the GXP caliper brackets which are like $56 each.

That's awesome. So Alex is moving to the bay area huh? Haven't heard from that guy in forever. Of course he never comes on here anymore. Last I heard from him was when he crashed the sti he had.

Believe so. He was out in the SoCal desert for a bit and moving to the Bay this week IIRC. Gaynanigans shall begin.

Those red vents are tacky as hell

tipnitty · 07-08-2013, 02:04 PM

God damn hood rats. What part of town are you in? I still have that old CD player/ screen from the TA if you want it for free. I'll gladly meet up with you.

One reason why I never bother with audio systems.

Sucks, though. Cool of Sam to be generous like that. Props for him. :brofist:

that CF one i got from the group buy wasn't bad. few clear coat runs but nothing i couldn't fix easily.

pretty much what i figured for weight on the stock hood..i should pick up a scale.

stock brakes for what?

nevermind saw i switched the letters around on that.. that's what i get for typing after running around sweating my ass off that morning.

already got the vette rears. got the whole set when i got the vette fronts years ago.
