Damn, that looks sick! Is that just the OEM trim? Might go that route. I have an '03 now with that ugly ass Green. Never liked the S7 gauges bc theyre white, and I've been eye balling the reverse gauges. Once I get a trim and figure out a color scheme, I'm biting that style. haha
Night shot.

It's the OEM trim with reverse glow gauges and red leds in the gauge cluster so the needles glow red. I painted the bezel with the same silver that I used on the rest of the trim and clear coated it.Quote:

You know that's weird..I replaced mine with blue..even the single rear bulb behind the sunroof..and they don't light up that much blue and aren't nearly as bright which is what I wanted. My whole goal was to add some sorta mood/accent lighting to the car but not over done. Looking at cars with white leds online, the white didn't create the vibe I wanted (kinda plain & intense imo) The blue I have is hazy and real chill looking, but it lights up the lenses the same as yours. Also the leds I got by not being as bright, accomplished another thing I like. Providing enough light for entry in the car, but not enough for bystanders to be nosey and take notice to things in my car easily.Quote:

Did you change camera settings..or just point and shoot. I would take pics to compare mine..but my phone cam sucks at night and changing the settings or enabling flash distorts/prohibits the true color
Same here, I want all red, th GTZ gauges are orangish. I may try the red LEDs since they seem to have made the needles redder.Quote:

I will test them soon and see which is better.
Bgood12 sent me his old ones so ill try those too
Wasn't done today but Isaurio gave my daily a base tune on Saturday and I have to say since Saturday I've driven 130 miles on 1/4 of a tank of gas mpg's really shot up, overall the whole rpm range feels smoother and I barely notice the car running at idle. Excellent job Isaurio keep it coming brotha....
I tried leds like this in white and they didn't light up the gauges very well at all. That being said I used 6 smd leds like these in white and they lit up the gauges awesome. I replaced them with red ones and they seem to light the needles up really well.Quote:

In other news, driver's side front brakes been squealing the last couple weeks, I figured it was either the wear indicators or backing plate. Looked thru the spokes and saw the outside pad had what looks like ~50% left. Took the wheel off today since it wasn't asshole hot outside, and saw the inside pad was less than 20%.
Fun.
Slid the wear indicators off to silent the whole thing, worked like a charm. However, I went to torque my wheel lock and the socket just kept spinning. Took the socket off and the damn squiggly shaped piece inside the socket fell the fuck out.
More fun.
So now I need new wheel locks and pads rotors. Sliders and hardware looked fine, great movement, but definitely uneven pad wear. Plus I gotta get something to take off the wheel locks on the other wheels and decide if I wanna drive 27 miles to work with only four torqued lugs on the drivers front wheel tomorrow.
Those caliper pins may need to be greased, sounds like an issue with the caliper sticking.
My rotors are warped, I'm just waiting on a little money do a dual piston upgrade and buy new V6 rotors.
My rotors are warped.
My pads just suck.
I'm not going to fix. I'll wait until I find a good deal on an Endless or Project Mu BBK.
contact qnz hes got a pair for sale i thinkQuote:

you need brembos they will stop you faster and that is better for family since pasangers increase overall weight which Increases brake distance....brembos will balance it out and keep you and the family safer.
^^I was under the impression that they don't work much better than regular brakes at regular speeds, it's when you get crazy fast that they show their benefit. But why fuck around, just get the best you can easily get right?
They won't make a huge difference under normal driving or even at high speeds one time. Where you get the benefits from the EVO Brembos or any other BBK would be sustained high temperature abuse, they'll resist fade much better than anything smaller.
The most important factors are the pads and the tyres.
^^^ very true and I will add if your not equipped with abs they'll lock up pretty quick. Even thou that's not the case wit you Greg you have abs...Quote:
