Wow what happened to your car? :s

mishuko · 03-28-2016, 10:31 AM

Thanks! I have no idea. I bought it from a dealership out of town and never got to see it in person. Had I saw it and saw the condition of the paint, I would have had them detail it because I told them not to. Oh well no big problem.

Thanks! Yeah for my first time trying this I feel like it came out pretty good.

imho i wouldn't let the dealer do that work. do it yourself or take it to a detailing shop.

BUT looks like you did yourself a good job. pat yourself on the back and get a nice cold one

update on my car: the bleeder screw was the issue. (third time is a charm). I told the dealer to put their regular dot4 in for now because I don't want to leak anymore expensive fluids... I'll get that changed EOY back to rbf 600 or something better.

confirming for Friday my tune... need to remember to get the base run and tuned dyno sheets.

Don't forget the traction arms and mid links. No point doing part of the rear suspension, do it all and be done.

Oh and the differential bushing....

Speaking of doing things right, I recently purchased a NISMO rear diff cover and figured in for a penny, in for a pound. I just ordered the Whiteline rear diff bushing kit and two bottles of Redline. I considered swapping to solid bushings, but don't think I could live with the resulting noise.
