Pedal Feel/Caliper Flex, and they only used half the rotor face on STI Rotors. I'll post up some pictures in a bit

Seems the soft Plastic of the Velox splitter doesn't really keep it's shape too well.... Guess I will just adjust the splitter until it isn't bent.

Well I took the time to check some of the plugs yesterday. (Can't get to a few of them without taking the header off.)

Found even with a ton of wrap, still sort of melting plug wires -_-

Good news is the plugs I could get out looked pretty much all the same:

Only one different was the passenger side front plug. Threads were covered in water? Which is weird because it's been to temp a few times since the last rain.

Other than that, I think my oil pressure gauge is faulty. I paid real close attention to it yesterday and while cruising I noticed it fluctuate 10 degrees rapidly. So Going to look at buying a new sensor and sending the gauge in to be checked/serviced.

Car was dropped off this morning to check on having A/C Lines made. They didn't seem too enthusiastic about the job. I should have just spent the time/money on getting Aeroquip A/C Lines/Fittings and finding the fittings for the condenser and firewall.

Found this compressor fitting:

This should adapt the GM compressor to the aeroquip fittings. Now I just need the two for the condenser and two for firewall.

So I went to adjust the Splitter and I can't seem to get it to un-bend... Going to remove it tonight and see what I can do. Almost wondering if the bash bar mount bent somehow. Kind of frustrating.

Can't get enough of this car, so I am just going to post some pictures. Stealing their exhaust routing here soon.

Shows the box around the exhaust which I plan on doing as well.

Got the front calipers painted up.

Just need to get the stickers made up and then will get cleared over again.

I got a lot of inspiration for my build from those guys in Norway too.

did you opti coat the car or it's just a camera effect that makes an exterior color even more outstanding? I'm curious to know because I have same color as yours :P

A polish and good wax goes a long way. Mostly the filter used though.

Was the Wilwood calipers from a kit? My RR Racing kit has Wilwood Superlite calipers which cover all but a centimeter or less of the STI calipers.

Bought the brakets/brake line as a kit and it just listed the caliper needed.

I'm really diggin' the over-fenders black. Typically not a fan, but on this application it works really well.

Are those front turn signal LEDs those switchback ones from Diode Dynamics?
