Ya but one wrong pull and you need a new center plate lol

 

Yeah; those plastic tabs can break so easily.

I do actually have extras, all black parts, including window switches. I've just been too lazy to swap them out with the wood trim.

 

I found out after buying the 4R that the black is stronger than the wood trim. Would be nice to have extras all over the place though ngl

 

I recently just did all 4 corners on the GX (rotors/calipers/pads/lines) and encountered the same thing. Ended up having to return a few times to get all banjo bolts and bleeder valves the same. Sanded, prepped and painted as best I could. Do it right and do it once was my motto...

 

I had them place an order for 2 more, so I'll have 3 to pick from tomorrow

 

"Extras"

Yeah...I may have a few extra parts for the 4R

 

ha, got distracted halfway through that last post.
It does look good, definitely have to get under it and see what the rust situation is. No real concerns about the drivetrain, looks like there’s a bearing before the rear diff that can go but the rest seems pretty standard.

even if it’s not perfect, I just have no love for newer cars. Too much tech, not enough smart design.

 

Wish I would have bought a blasting cabinet already. I bought some VLT blue caliper paint and I'm just going to degrease them and paint.

 

I'm all out of girly drinks; time to move to whiskey, neat.

 

Wait...you're getting rid of the 4R.

Just let me have at those 13WL's for cheap

 

They're for the Taco...

 

The VHT high temp caliper paint is legit. I basically gave them a quick sand and wipe with alcohol. The instructions recommend that you bake them after painting, but I just painted and installed. Didn't have time to bake. No chipping/peeling yet though.

 

I finally "upgraded" the head unit in my '05 Civic and CarPlay is nice for nav and whatnot, but... I miss my volume knob.

 

Same.. I haven't baked calipers yet. I think I might take it easy the first few times that I drive them.

 

On-road baking = braking

 

On-road braking = baking

 

420 brake it

 

420 = blazed
Blazed = baked
Baked = brakes

The math checks out...
