Which plasti dip did you use?

I did 3 good coats of regular black, wait for that to dry then do 3 thinner coats of copper metalizer plastidip. The copper metalizer is semitransparent so it allows a little of the base coat color through, giving an overall richer darker copper/bronze. Otherwise if you just do copper metalizer on regular gray/gunmetal wheels I suspect it would be too orange and too light. I didn't clear coat.

Hope that helps.

After a nightmare diagnosing and repairing what turned out to be a direct injector seal popping, she is back and running. Going to give it another tank of gas and keep an eye on fuel trims, with all new DI injectors she is running a tad lean under load.

Those DI seals haunt my dreams.

Oil change, installed the Greddy magnetic drain plug, replaced the trans and diff fluid. Still have to do brake fluid, and purchase a cargo tray for the trunk.

Brought it home for the first time. Have a feeling i'm going to look like this

for the foreseeable future.

Greddy EVOlution GT cat-back exhaust came today. It's going to be a busy weekend installing all the parts I've got laying around!

Weighed my new 18" Volk ce28n's 18x7.5 that I just got and got this. Tires are 225/45R18 pole positions that are rated at 26lbs, not sure how accurate this is

. Waiting on my RCE yellows to arrive to put them on..

I have a hard time believing those wheels weigh 13lbs.

Antihero983 · 05-12-2016, 08:58 PM

Finally swapped out the brake fluid for some Motul stuff. Yay.

I do as well, but you can see the scale picture

. Unless the pole positions don't weigh 26lbs

TrevorsTII · 05-12-2016, 10:51 PM

ARK Grip Exhaust installed and 17x9 +35 RPF1 with 255/40/17 RS-3s installed.

Maybe they do. This http://measurespeed.com/volk-rims-wheel-weight says the 17x7.5 is 13.8 lbs. 18x8 is 14.7 lbs. Perhaps the pole positions are tad under expected weight? Would make sense. That's rather impressive.
