Noice.

Doesn't it feel good?

I gotta do that in the spring time. I'll have 40K miles by then. Time to start doing preventative maintainence.

First thing on my list, new Brembo rear rotors and Ford OEM pads. The parts store pads i have on squeal like a mofo and the stock Ford rotors are becoming thin. Brembos are like $35 each, but how much are OEM rear pads??

 

[RedDaemon]

I got the front and rears from Randy for like $80ish shipped (total), excellent deal

You'll have to take it to the track and post the gains. "Waxed cars run faster 1/4 times."

This sunday it is supposed to be 71* and sunny here and I'm planning on doing a lot of that since I'm off work. My car doesn't need anything mechanical as it had a full tune-up in July when I had the PI swap done, but I will be washing it, waxing it, cleaning the whole interior, and cleaning the engine.

Skiddz you should try the 303 Aerospace Protectant on the interior and exterior rubber and plastic trim.

Never seen that stuff around here. Do they sell it at advance or wal-mart or anything?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

The website has a dealer locater feature. It is usually sold at boat, rv, and whirlpool dealerships.

Dude, seriously I swear by the stuff. It makes Armor All look like cheap azz bullshiot. And it is SPF 40 UV is your enemy...

clay bar kicks ass!

When it done right that is

 

[XxMustang281xX]

might sound stupid, but what is claybar??

 

[streetstang03]

basically a lump of clay that you use on the paint to get rid of the old wax, industrial fallout, bird chit, etc... you can get one at autozone or wherever. It leaves your paint feeling as smooth as glass. after you claybar the car, you put on your wax

I just needs the rears.


The fronts are a brand new Mach 1 13" setup with only 1000 miles on them or so
