Default With the flu I polished and painted a little...

The intercoolers were puddled with oil, I had to wash them out to get the oil from them. Guess I really needed the Catch Can sooner. What a mess. I need to clean the fins up better and clean around the rotor edge also, but I am happy. Then the flu hit last night.









Re painted brackets etc., polished the sway bar bolts like the rear ones...

I'm supprised those rotors work, you might want to scuff them up a bit with some 80 grit before driving.

One word: Deranged

The trick is on polish one side, lol. Honestly I hit the brakes at the end of the street and they are normal. No smoothing is happening to the rotor just shine. It is good for 1k miles then the shine goes away.

Couple more pics...

I remember your story about what happened when you polished BOTH sides of the rotors the 1st time. Look Ma, NO BRAKES!!!
