Not yet, but is has crossed my mind. I want to make sure it'll be compatible with a new rear (the same one you have). I just got this one used from a fellow member for half the brand new price, so it was a deal I couldn't refuse. I just felt the need to do some sort of mod this year, lol.Quote:

I still need to get my shift light in, but that isn't a 20min project like this was. I only have 1 more room to finish inside the house, so as soon as I get that done, I'll be onto more mods. Small ones, but enough to settle my "need to mod" anxiety.
< no time, no money, lol.
Painted the calibers yesterday/today. Glad I did. I only had about 1/16th of pad left on the fronts. Seems some Douche bag that last service them (previous owner always took it in for service) removed the tabs that let you know it's time. Anyways here's some pics and also the car stops on a dime now.

BTW it's a bitch to paint while still on the car. Next time I may just take 'em off and bleed the whole system .
And no job is complete with out donating some flesh and blood. This job gave me a nice 1" deep cut on my left hand ring finger. SOAB!!!
^^^Hey, you ain't supposed to donate blood while working on cars. Calipers look good, BTW. How many miles on the pads? My wear sensor just now is noisy, 100k on the OE front pads. Rears I replaced about 65K.

over the weekend i finally got a chance to put on my cross drilled/slotted rotors and repainted the calipers & wheel wells i wanna be all the way on point for the summer this year,im also going to be doing the shift boot mod,i got a shift & boot out of a 03 GTP i will putting that on sometime this week
that's just it I have no idea how many miles on those pads. It gave no warnings that they were getting thin. Also no groves in the rotor.
I had to go black with the color. I didn't like the gray and yellow and red would just clash with NMB.
Clocked at 105 and was let off with a verbal warning because the Officer likes Pontiacs :woo:
awesome!!!!Quote:

Seriously? Coulda faxed papers... And I'm pulled over for 80 in a 65 on the thruway at 2am with no cars on the road? Bs...

He ran my information and told me that I need to slow down and that he has seen people die on that road, and that because he likes Pontiac's and T/A's he is letting me go on a warning.Quote:

That's crazy lol. I'm usually insanely polite and have all my info ready in hand before they even get to the car. Only time I ever got a break was when I didn't have plates on my car as soon as I bought it, and I passed a cop and had already gotten pulled over for this before. I saw him in my rear view, he hit the brakes and turned around about 1/4 mile past me. We went over a hill so I couldn't see him anymore, so I pulled over, had my license/insurance/paperwork for the purchase on hand and window rolled down so by the time he came up to me, he didn't have to do anything. Didn't even bother turning his lights on I think. But as far as speeding goes... screw Anthony -.-.Quote:
