I'm the dude, man.

he meant do the lips still fit over the face with that much buildup on the edge

[Dudermagee]

that looks like a fair thick layer of paint/powdercaot on the wheel centers

Do the Lips still fit over the Spigot with that much coat?

wat?

Amazing work!

Just looked through the whole thread. Awesome work man! Wheels look great by the way.

thanks!

So time for some updates, got the exhaust on.
Have to take a pic of it on tomorrow, but here is what it looks like on my driveway lol.



And I was going to put my wheels together (Finally lol) when this happened:







Looks like the guy did 2 coats one over the other because he messed up the first one, and didn't strip it.

Oh well took it to the guy I took my calipers to, they should be done in a few days.
Should have some minor updates tomorrow and a major one very soon.

Got my AEM intake in the mail, figured why not since it was a good deal.
Also got another small package, but I'll post that up tomorrow when I open it.

Another small update
Got the Axle all pretty and redone:

Got it installed, no pics.

Figured I get some super awesome 12.9 hardware while I was replacing it:


Also picked up a new tool, thread checker board:



And I traded my old exhaust for a used RS-R
Old:


I'll put up pics of the new one when I get around to putting it on.
I still have to:
Put the new bolts on the driver side Axle.
Tighten the Passenger side 36mm axle nut.
Install sway bar.
Install new exhaust.

You don't have one anymore.

you're a dork

Nice shaft there, man.

thanks

I've got a question regarding the copper plating...

Copper tends to oxidise pretty quickly... are you getting those clear coated to protect the finish?

Not sure if you mentioned anything about this or not.

LOL they're already clear coated, 2 coats says the PC'r.

1 great build right here! Im impressed by the patience and quality of both parts and work!

Thanks man

I'm asking about that axle.

You SOB, well LSS I fucked up the driver side one when I was removing it.

So I ordered a refurb with a core charge, at the time I was going to do the same with the passenger side (the one I currently have an issue with) but they didn't have that deal, I'd have to send in my actual axle and get it repaired. At the time I didn't feel like waiting and there wasn't anything wrong with it at that time, so I said fuck it and re-used it.

what was the cost of having them all plated? I have been contemplating doing this with my bolts for my RS's

bolts+lugs+emblems came to 400 or so IIRC

I want those equips done!

getting there lol

doing the suspension install?

GTFO spam

Little update, was getting some drive train noise so I took a look under the car and found the 2 piece drive shaft was deflecting alot and a leak from the axle I didn't replace (don't ask, long story).

Old 2 piece DS


New 1 piece DS
