Whiteline 26mm F & 24mm R sways. I want to powdercoat these...any suggestions on colors? Thinking about yellow...same as I did on my STI.

**ebo03** · #3: 05-08-2013, 09:23 PM

Dropped off sway bars to be powder coated today. Bars will be a candy blue similar to World Rally Blue, rear mount supports will be yellow nugget (yellow with a little orange metallic flake). I will say Whiteline has improved their powder coating since I bought bars for my STI 3 years ago. Back then they did not even put a clear coat on, a big no-no when using metallics. They certainly use a clear now and they look far more durable than before. But never the less, I wanted to add a little color to seldomly seen parts.

PLX gauges got here today and all other parts have arrived except the turbo from BNR.

The bad news is I won't be able to get it tuned until the end of June. Going to have Jorge tune it on Speed Density when he comes to IAG next month. I have a planned trip the weekend of his May tuning session and won't be able to install the clutch until 3 weeks from now anyway.

Parts arriving left and right...the UPS man is starting to resemble Santa Claus.

I will be interested in seeing how that clutch works out for you given my experience with the FX100.

I'm inferring you are not a fan of the FX100. What are your main complaints?

Mike from Infamous pointed me in the direction of the FX300 over the ACT HDSS.

Far too much chatter for a street car. I hope you have different results.

I wanted some of those PLX gauges. Those are so cool!

**SpidermanMTL** · #**10:** 05-09-2013, 07:08 AM

Nice job... but I wanna see...

**acumenhokie** · #**12:** 05-09-2013, 08:12 AM

working.

Can't wait to see it. The forum has some fairly ridiculous (by modern standards) size and resolution restrictions for pics, pdfs, etc.

**Rutchard** · #**14:** 05-09-2013, 11:03 AM

Damn, I've got 3 out of 5 of those PLX bits sitting on a shelf here, never got around to installing them.

Before you took the broken photo links down, it looked like there was a space in the URL. Get that space out of the folder name on PB, that'll help a lot of broken links, though it may create some new ones if you've linked a lot of things to that folder...

I can see one now. Looks great.
