wheel swap

on the S2ki forums, i found a guy selling 2 front silver enkei RPF1s for $200 to complete my set! what a deal i thought. so i was rolling on them for a couple of weeks but i kinda wish they were gold. the silvers' were just too blah for me.. again, using work time to surf s2ki forums, i found another guy from skunk2. he had golds and want silvers. his golds were a couple of weeks old where my silvers were raced on many times!! i managed to directly swap with him! again! what a deal!

us at tire central. he had the kraftwerks supercharger! damn!


with the golds on! oh wee!

new front pads, brake lines, fluid, and painted calipers

started 8/25 finished 8/31 lol!! @38,xxx miles

it's nice having room in your garage to do work!


new goodridge g-stop brake lines all around (about $80). Black Duplicolor caliper paint kit ($12). Mint front "oem" pads from s2ki forums ($dirty). and new synthetic valvoline brake fluid ($8). my brother and i had to bleed the brakes 4 times to completely remove all the air in the lines. the 4th time we used a power bleeder! with all that work, i probably should have invested in higher performance pads. lol. but i'm happy with my silent, no noise brakes!

rpf1s on!



finally got my enkei rpf1s on last night. 17"x8/9" +45
