Good luck with the install!

I too got notified on Friday that one of my bigger accounts I made may go down the drain due to major f-kups my team did down in Japan and China. Over 1500 jobs and tens of millions of $ at stake. But I look at my Z and think too bad for them cause it wont really affect me cause I will just start something new and keep motoring like nothing happened.

I know how you feel and I am self employed.

I have a back up camera I keep meaning to get to.

Just watched my fiancé drive away while me and the kids loaded up in the Travers.

After about 9 weeks my Forgestar F14's finally shipped!

I actually got around to my stainless steel brake line installation (thanks to my sons for great help). Sorry for the surface rust on the rotor -- I washed the car first (I think I did these in the wrong order). Oh well.

I also cleaned and lightly reoiled the K&N's from my Stillen intake.

I thought about washing my car and scrubbing all of the bugs off.

As soon as I gathered all of my cleaning supplies, it started to rain.

Oh well.

Could of used the rain as a spot free rinse!

drove it, then cursed a shitstorm once i pulled over.

was driving, heard an odd clanking, slowed down, saw a huge rock fly past my window, pulled over and saw this:

apparently, i drove over a rock of some sort, it got lodged in between the wheel and the brakes. somehow it got caught in the wheel, scraped up the entire inside of the wheel, dented a few parts of it, and scratched it to hell. oh, and this demon rock somehow chipped off a ton of paint on the caliper. this rock also f-d up the rotor!

sigh...

...i dont know what to do

Dzel · 06-13-2011, 12:28 AM

Damn man that sucks, I hope you get it taken care of Maybe powder coat all four calipers?

I agree with the powdercoating, but replace the wheel? If the dings are on the inside,cannot be seen and don't screw with the integrity of the wheel I'd leave it be.

You mentioned the rotor was damaged. I'd be more concerned about that than anything else to be honest. What kind of damage??

well the wheel definitely has ALOT of scratches, even the part where the wheel meets the hub got tore up. the rotor damage is purely cosmetic as well. the black part of the rotor where it sits on the wheel studs got chewed up. i really dont know how a rock caused this much damage

going to give my ins agent a call after my meeting and let you guys know how it goes. i wouldnt be opposed to having all the calipers powder coated yellow + a new wheel.
