My wheels painted black...and the car is clean, night shots

[MitsuJoe]

Well I spent some time painting my wheels again. I loved it on my first EVO and had to repeat it on this one. I was a little discouraged with the application although if they don't hold up I will just have to do it again or get them powdercoated.

I also mounted up my Falken Azenis RT-615 255/40/17 and on the street these tires are everything as good as the Advans and brake awesomely. To help braking I put on my Goodridge stainless steel brake lines and soon I will have the speedbleeders and Super Blue ATE inplace for some hardcore stopping. I still have the Hawk HPS pads which IMHO are not as good as stock for intial bite. They seem to make just as much dust so at some point I will be getting me some Project Mu pads again. Or maybe some Ferrodo 2500's.


And make sure you vote on the pole....

they look really nice. reminds me of when i spraypainted my te-37's i had, haha. nice driveway too ;)

i vote no on painting the ralliart's wheels. mainly because you're trying to sell it.

[MitsuJoe]

I have not had any bites in like a month. So at this point I could care less if I sell it or keep it. As you can tell I have kept modding it. Gotta make it nice.

Yeah my house is my main pride and joy. I can post some pictures up of it. I bought it with a major restore done so I can reap the benefits of living there. This tree behind the garage has been giving me some work though but it will be down soon.

those look really good!

[AfireINSIDE]

like the branch through the ROOF :shock:

[MitsuJoe]

Now be nice...I was trying to cut the tree down to stop it from falling through my roof. The exception here is I made it fall on my roof. At least it was my 2nd home (the garage) that got hit. It is almost fixed...

Just like saying I am almost done modding.... :lol:

[D3mon]

I vote yes, both look pretty good though! On a side note, what air pressure do you run the Evo's Falkens at? I have mine at 40psi and for some reason they still feel a bit mushy, but they are still new with a couple hundred miles on em...

[otter]

I vote yes, because if you're like me, you're getting really fucking sick of cleaning off the brake dust from the axxis ultimates.

i really want to get mine painted black or coated as well..where can i get this done and how much does it cost..? There a company or is this a do it yourself mod only? I would rather have someone else do it because i would probably mess it up..

[MitsuJoe]

Kurt I would be willing to do your wheels. The best way to go would be to get another set and then let me take your set, or something like that. Plus I would like around 2 weeks to do them so the paint can set-up properly.

Let me know!

I paid $200 for mine $25 per wheel for blasting and $25 per wheel for powdercoat. I chose the basic Gloss Black, but I could have had a million other low-temp colors.

I also paid $15 for some Enkie stickers too from some sign shop.

I had it done at a place called Ray's Radiator Clinic on 10mile and Dequinder. (586)759-0922

I would NOT recommend them for ceramic coating of exhaust componants, 'cuz their shit is thin and flakes off, but their powdercoating was top notch. I had them do the strut tower brace and the valve cover too.

Thanks to Nik for the PIC!!!

Joe, I have a slightly set of ProjectMu brake pads that are laying in my garage. If you want them I will give you a smoking deal on them.

Car looks nice, even better since you got the big wing!!

[MitsuJoe]

Are these the B force? If so I want this deal...did you get my payment?

[EVOlutionary]

I think they are bForce, supposed to be for street and track both. I will double check . I got the payment, Thanks!!

[MitsuJoe]

Can you bring thise with you tommorow too? I would love to check them out. And we can discuss a price too.

[EVOlutionary]

Joe, I work Tuesday at the Essexville Kroger from 10-6, and Wednesday at the BC Kroger from 9-9. I will bring the stuff. The pads are not BForce, they are the Project Mu NS pads - I believe one step more towards "Street" than the BForce.

[MitsuJoe]

Well thats cool. I will try to find you tommorow. If you like you could always roll buy my house afterwork in case your really busy. Considering you will be in Essexville it is on your way :P

[EVOlutionary]

That will work. Try to call me around 6, otherwise I will forget. plus you'll have to tell m ehow to get there. . .
