Well i have done a lot of stuff to the car since i have had it... but i was just messing around with the brake colors and was wondering what you guys think. I will post up more about my car a little later.

Just put a new lip on today as well.

I like it, it's different from the common colors such as red and black. Plus I do like the gold/red combination. What did you use to paint the caliper? Looks pretty close to the shade of Mazdaspeed gold I been looking for my wheels.

^^i concur

Caim · 02-19-2009, 07:19 PM

You will laugh but i did some research and this holds up well.....

And thanks

Whizbang · 02-19-2009, 07:21 PM

model paint? Really? Huh.

Caim · 02-19-2009, 07:27 PM

Yes sir hahaha. A few nice coats of that and you are good to go... and it is cheap.

rotorhead87 · 02-19-2009, 07:29 PM

what GTFO model paint!?!? Now its officially different. You actually paint it on with that little brush...someone must have had a day off

....Thanks for posting up the paint color code. Now I gotta look for 1/2 gallon of that stuff lol.

Caim · 02-19-2009, 07:33 PM

HAHAHA anytime man... Just thought that i would spread the love

Those wheels look great. Nice car.

I prefer black look for the brake calipers. Are you going to upgrade the rotors and pads eventually?

Yeah i have the hawk pads but i plan on getting some new rotors first before i do them. Just want to do both at the same time. Money is tight because i am only 23 and in college. But i do what i can with the little money that i have.

looks cool! Let us know how the paint holds up!

WhiteRice_7 · 02-21-2009, 12:58 AM

Caim · 02-20-2009, 12:20 PM

Well after i did the brakes last night i also got bored and installed and made a center console plate for this.

Also installed this last night. Sorry the dog likes to get in the way. He is a attention whore.

The install... he likes to watch and hang. I know alot of you will freak when you see this but i am about to repaint the car the same color so i was like .... oh well.

Almost done

Finished

Took a goofy pic of the gf

And i was done.

HA - I wouldnt care, only my dog isn't tall enough, lol.

Nice rubicon in the back there too. Seems that RX guys always have a Jeep around somewhere...

Caim · 02-20-2009, 02:24 PM

Yeah it is my roomates hahaha. But it is a fun ride that is for sure. Almost flipped it a few times.

But finally the part that i have been waiting for... now my car will be back on the road again today...

A little story to it is i got the turbo and it was blown had to send it off, and finally got it back 2 months later.

That was before motor was in .... ha

My turbo progression from stock to now.
