woke up at 8 something this morning cuase andie @ cobalt friction called me. he said ups needed my apt # for the delivery so i gave it to him and have been waiting for it till now... hehe...

here are the pics to tell the storie...

oooh here's the mysterious package...

lets see whats inside!....

Yay! my axxis pads are here!! now my car won't make those nasty noises comin to a stop. here's a shot out of the box.

and here's a better shot of my oh so cherished honda mouse pad.

and its seems that things to put on my car are accumulating in my room...


Now, all thats left is to order my suspension. hehe... those pics to come later!

Oh and of course i will have pics later of all the install. hehe... don't hate cuz i'm a pic *****, hehe.... i don't hate on ya for bein jdm ******... hehe..

 

wow man some plugs and pads

 

That mouse pad messes with your head if you stare at it for too long.

I hope you're ready to paint your rims black with those pads.

I think you should have gone with a heat range 6 plug. It stays warm in LA most of the time and the commutes are usually long enough to avoid any plug fouling problems, and with all the hilly driving, it will load the engine more in terms of work and heat. Better to use a colder plug.

ZFR6F-11 (stock number 5834). Napa has them or can get them.

lol Coudn't have said it better myself...

So, when you takes pics AFTER the install...is your car going to look any different?

lol I'm not trying to poke fun at you really...but, it was just to easy. What kind of rotors are you going to match those pads with? And what's in the OEM Honda package? Or did I miss that?

 

well drag, sorry he isn't a rich little bastard and can drop thousands on his car...even little things excite most of us

</TD></TR></TABLE> Thats what i thought after i got rid of my crappy napa ones because they were squealing, and a week after i put the axxis on they started squealing even worse than the old ones. Expect your rims to be a lot dirtier with them pads too!!

 

puhahaha.... roflmao

Yes yes... i know... it seems stupid to be excited about little things... but i've found great enjoyment from doin even the smallest things to my car lately. I thought everyone on the board loved to work on their cars... guess not. oh as for the white box.. it's the cap & rotor kit. They sell them packaged together like that as well as sell the parts seperately.

I know what you mean...

You install something,...big or small... you drive your car around, you get bored after awhile.

Then you finally decide to upgrade something or its maintenance, and you have to buy something new for your car.... all that can make driving your car exciting again.

exactly... and workin on my car is one of those things that once i get into it takes 100% of my attention and any stress, worries, fears, anxiety all away. The most relaxing thing for me is to be doin something on the car and having a couple beers. good times..

haha, funny!!

 

Once you get past knee deep in mods, it's pretty much all or nothing. Then you won't think it's so fun when you have to work twice as hard to pay for the mods and twice as hard to install them. Keep things simple and enjoy it while it lasts if you want to stay stress free.

 

OK

 

i got the pads from Andie at cobaltfriction.com

I wrote to him asking to confirm all these claims out there that pbr and axxis are the same. And he replied back honestly that it was and was very profesional in all my communication with him. He worked out a great deal for me and i got the pads pretty much within 48hrs of ordering. And let this be a sign of his professional integrity, i asked him what fluids he'd recommend and how i was thinkin about gettin a bottle of super blue ate from him and he replied that although he could do sell em to me, it would just cause way too much for shipping for it to be worthwhile for me and suggested that i just go local somewhere and pick some up or something relatively comparable. He then continued to suggest the synpower fluid which can be found at any kragens and continued to saythat they were pretty decent and should suffice for daily driving. HOws that for honesty? could made a couple bucks but was decent enough to suggest an alternative that would be more cost efficient to me.

He's also got an incredible track record with our HT members as well, which is why i contacted him. Give him a call, the toll free # is on his website.

for cobalt

 

yeah i just email them...got a reply back today.

 

cool. like i said, i was very happy with Andie's service and i actually went ahead and installed the pads on sunday and so far so good.

 

shoot you think you got stuff accumulating...

Let's see, I have a timing belt, tensioner pulley, water pump, hood seal and clips, cowl clips, side skirt clips, door vapor barriers, front license plate plugs, all waiting to go on.

I'm about to order some windshield clips, window sill trim end cap, interior mirror trim panel, bumper stiffener, RS door handle trims (no lock switch hole), and a fender bracket.

So all that, plus all the stuff I have removed from the car for painting, will all go back on next week after it's painted. Yeah I got a pretty big pile.

You are using those plugs on a non-VTEC engine, right?

I've very lucky to have a gf that is incredibly understanding about my time with my car.... when i tell her i'm gonna spend time on the car, she leaves me the hell alone.

 

Oh yeah, I just ordered a Beaks mount kit for my ITR swaybar awhile ago, going to swap out my BSQ kit for it (anybody wanna buy the BSQ kit?). So I'll have that to put on, too.

*edit* if anybody wonders if I have had problems w/ the BSQ kit, NO I have not. The Beaks kit just looks more sturdy to me (piece of mind), and I think the slightly thicker reinforcement will help keep my swaybar from rubbing my ABS wires, which they currently are rubbing right now.

 

hrmm...if you want to see some parts accumilating, i should take a pic of my apt or my friends room! LOL

its a start though!

 

every little thing counts
