Default Put on the new rotors

Met up with Dave this mid-afternoon at his "shop" to do some work on my rotors. Boy was it a MESS! "Your rotors are FUC*** up!" <-- the only words that came out of his mouth LOL!

Dave spent a good hour doing some hard, intense, mexican like, labor. In the end, I think he was pretty happy... since I gave him my Jensen head unit that was just sitting in my trunk for a good 2 months lol

I'd like to personally thank Dave, once again, for his hard work, and his time. Thanks much Dave! I'll remember to get the brake pads changed!



That's all for now! More pics to come when the weather gets better, and I'll be throwing on the 20's!

Ray looking good. Can't wait to see the final product with all the additions.
Remember I want to see the fogs when you put them on!

Now you gotta paint the calipers too and you won't be embarrased by what's behind your wheels!

Sad but true, I cheaped out and did drilled/slotted rotors-new pads/painted calipers when I got my car last spring; I'm already playing with the idea of switching out for Supra fronts; should've just done that in the first place. I wish I had the cash flow for the AP Racing setup Mike's got in the classified's but that's out of the question.
