Here is a pic of my new restored rear Calipers. Huge tanks to Eric at PMB Performance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) . My calipers are beautiful. I still need to adjust them but will get to that tommorow night. The picture is a little dark but damn if my rotor doesn't look like crap with the new caliper there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I sent my short headers off to get Cermaic coated at a place in Portland. They will do one coat inside & 2 coats outside. I'm having them done in black as they said that had the best cooling. I'll get pics of these when I pick them up mid week. I also dropped off my muffler & pipes to get ceramic coated at another shop. It was a little cheaper than the place in Portland. The quality won't be as good either but that's okay for the muffler & pipes. I just did these to look nice really. It will help cooling also but not as much as my headers. Along with these I dropped off a bunch of heater parts to get powder coated for my LE. All the parts that connect to the heat exchangers. I took one full set along with all the spares I had. Made sense to just get them all done & looking nice. I'm excited as this guy is pretty cheap & does nice work. I guess I will reserve my judgement until I get all my parts back though. I will get pics up for this stuff this weekend when I pick them up. Attached image(s) |

Hi Jamie!
The headers look great...well. we both talked about both of us ceramic coating ours over two years ago, I'm glad one of us followed through (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . I want to though. How much did they end up charging your for the headers and how much for the pipes with mufflers? Did you ever do any temp. readings of your engine compartment while it was running? I was thinking I had brought-up my laser when we went to the WCR in Seattle together, I just can't rember if we checked. OK, now go buy a remote pump and fix that firewall once and for all. I thought the moving of he engine back would take care of that...didn't you do that? Have fun with your car Monday...I bet you can't wait to be on the road again. Mark |
