finally lowered 1/2 of my sol yesterday. i put my front agx/ground control coilovers on the front and went 2 go do the back, and i broke the head off of the bolt that connects the strut 2 the control arm

 

Welcome to my world Troy
$10.50 for a new bolt from honda

 

So my brakes went out on my Sol yesterday just after I got off of the freeway and was heading to the parking garage. Scary stuff.

 

well the good news is that it's not as hot as it was yesterday (so far).

the bad news is that i feel like crap and will probably be staying home all day today.

I just talked to Miko, he said the quality of the rides are getting better each year.

nice.

DPK and ATS are gonna be parking next to each other i heard. now that's one lineup of cars that's worth looking at.

 

I'm not sure yet. My brakes fail to work when my RPMs are low (they work at speed) and the pedal just goes to the floor, but if you pump it, they sort of build pressure.

So I'm not sure. I made it to the garage though, so I'll have to investigate this week.

Think if I painted my GT3's white it would look good?

I'd keep the polished lip...

 

ehhh polished lips are over-rated.

 

Blah, I'm terribad at this stuff.

I like the polished lip, but those look pretty good.

Just not sure how well the white will mesh with the silver of my car...

 

So i spent my day yesterday doing this...

Wet sanding.


polising


finished product


Oh and what do you think of the new lip? need to get better hardware and paint the bolts.

sounds like what happened when my brake booster/master cylinder went bad in my old TL.

I was supposed to have gabs but they were a staggered set so i ended up with the hokutos, and boy am i glad i got them instead. still love the look of real gabs.

 

well is raining today so i decided to take the del sol for a drive and clean the undercariage and i took some pic while i was out

 

damn everyones braks going out must be someone who hates del sols traveling across the country busting mastercyls/booster, and snipping brake lines

Your friend need sto get on it and buy that ****

 

took the beastly sol through some autocross today at road atlanta. they're having the yearone experience and since i work there i got to do some hella fun stuff... took her around about 9 laps on road atlanta and rode in a cayman around for 3 laps and then did the dry autocross... needless to say the sol really took a beating this weekend but she did really well, i was really proud of her. the only problem was the brakes squeak just a little now... oh well... it was totally worth it hahaha... anyway... onto the pics (EDIT: official ownage, now that i know what it means haha... forgive my previous noob-ness):

 

has anyone done a wheel stud? im gonna stop procrastinating and finnaly fix the broken one on my front wheel..

how much is it @ honda for a stud like 8 bux right? tops?
