Let's see a build thread. Start now while things are new.

It would be a very thin build thread.

The only additional items I am planning to do are a 30% tint (going to shoot a time-lapse video) and maybe lighter rims/summer tires.

Following your diy for brake pad replacement, does the brakes need to be bleed?

Yeah, right. That's what most people say at first.

Here's an idea for a video, Frank... drop your front bumper, bake and paint your headlights. Might just be the inspiration people need, seeing a well put together video on the process.

Not really, however it is a good idea to change your brake fluid every 2 years. Brake fluid by design, absorbs water to prevent internal corrosion.

As it turns out, the "Brake Fluid Change" video is scheduled to be released December 9th.

I have always been more "function" than "form" person. It is more likely for me to get a super charger than to paint my headlights. (no, I am not planning on getting one)
Drop the front bumper? My car is already a snow plow in the winter and I worry that nice OEM chin spoiler is going to get ripped off as it is.

In the spring, I will be installing the Whitehead poly bushing in my diff and will shoot a video DIY. Drag racing has popped the OEM one. Funny though, I had ZERO wheel hop drag racing in October with a blown bushing.

No wheel hop here. Never.



I've got Whiteline diff bushings still in the bag, waiting for next year's gear swap. I actually had to google "Whitehead" to make sure Frank didn't auto-correct that into a joke, but the joke's on me. Go figure.

This? https://whiteheadperformance.com/

Actually, I got it wrong. I have the Whiteline bushing kit and I purchased my Stillen exhaust at Whitehead Performance.
