Talking Thanks Dexter

you helped me man, i went into ken shaw today, slapped up some new shims and the fixing kit or whatever its called, it was a snap he brought me the parts (tripple checked them - i guess he doubted a kid could get correct part numbers) then asked where i got the numbers from, i said i got them from a friend and then i payed and left. My TRD brakes also came in today im gettin them install on saturday at 10, plus im installing my little extra something

thanks again dex u made it easy for me. You're my guinea pig! hehehe

FWIW, the rust is not an issue. I haven't even seen any on mine yet. Heck, as soon as you drive and brake once or twice, its gone.

Ok my mom brought the brakes home! i got my TRD oil cap (no thats not the suprise) and installed it, looks really sweet. All my brakes seem to be good.

Dex tell me, when it says LR (left rear) is the driver side the left or is the passanger side the left? i always get this confused with cars because u could be standing behind or standing in front of the car!! thanks man. Dont worry i didnt get my boxes mixed up! i have the rotors sitting on top the correct box so i wont get confused! In fact i should put them in their propor boxes now.

Just aranged them all nice and took a picutre (remember my intake, remember my subs) hehe im crazy

Thanks dex.

Sasha...all i have to say is UR MOM IS SOOOOOO COOL. Yeah, my mom may not care if i get drunk or not (as long as i don't drive....but ive only been drunk once...no joking w/ me guys ) but she won't let me do much to the SC. She says its her car, but my argument is that I'm the only one that drives it, so its pretty much mine. My dad is impartial, but he doesn't want me to do anything to radical. Ur mom, on the otherhand, lets u put stuff on the car. The shocking thing, is that she still drives it. u haven't even "gotten" it yet, eventhough u WILL get it. Tell her i said hi, and good luck getting the brakes installed.


BTW: I am 99% sure that Left side is drivers side and right side is pass. side


Derek
