Replaced gasket with Grimmspeed one between the mid where it meets becuase it was toast. Also picked up a magnetic drain plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I beliebe there good quality. The welds look solid inside and out. The nuts lock tightly against one another and I don't forsee any issue with them. I can't speak much compared to other but from all pics I've seen of other name brands these look identical.

s2baru Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Well there are some knarly corners on that road since its goes from 2800ft up to the base of our ski park which if i recall is 6200 ish. For the hell of it I shut off traction control and got a little backend to kick out a few times. Was extremely impressed with the new nitto motivos I put on and man they hug the road like crazy since they're 255/35. I need to get rid of the lowering springs sooner or later though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really tested my patience level and not happy that I still have minor bubbles. Still satisfied with the result though, getting some more orange action in the mix of things.

It's amusing watching a bunch of 4wd cars struggle with a gravel driveway. I liked the last car...he just went for it. Wonder if he did any damage to his lip. I really like how you are tiring the orange throughout the entire car. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 You soon will^… I most likely will redo the part over the glovebox. You're right on the color, since you saw it in person it matches well, and those first pics were with the camera phone with flash and the last without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have no idea if this helps or not, but I got some vinyl from Doc for my wheel center caps and grill/trunk emblems. The first center cap sticker I put on had a massive amount of bubbles, as did the two emblems. The bubbles in all of my center caps are completely gone and the emblems only have the large bubbles left (and even then, they're not nearly as inflated as before). Have you tried to heat the vinyl up at all to remove some of the bubbles? It might save you the hassle of redoing it or poking holes. No idea how or why, but the bad center cap was bubble free within a week of regular driving, so I can only assume that the warm weather and brakes heated things up and somehow drove the air out. The emblems are slower going, I'm assuming, because they only have the sun to heat things up. I'd want to do a bit more research on it before I intentionally heated up a surface, but it's a possible option.

06GRPLGT Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Vinyl is porous, so some bubbles should work themselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
