I'm about to tear into Azumi.. Hopefully, when I'm done, she'll be running happy again. With all the shit I need to redo, I figure why not make a thread to track my plans and progress. Here's what I got planned:
Well, that's what I have planned. I'll take pictures along the way, give you guys status updates. I think once July hits, I'm gonna buy the head gasket kit, valves, and stage 1 cam. Brakes, too, perhaps. Those are kinda important. Just kinda. Got bored and started color coordinating this shiz. Orange means I ordered it, Bold green means I have it in my possession, Bold Blue means Azumi's wearing it :D |
Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. Dude just make this a build thread and have fun with it... sorry you have to tear into it again but on the other hand I wish I had a reason to tear into my car ;) I'm itchin' to do something. Get er' running right. |
Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. yep, that's pretty much my intention with this thread, Tom. Reason why I'm about to drop hella money right now: Discvoer Card: Josh, you haven't used your Discover card in over 24 months. If you activate this one and make a purchase in July 2011, We'll give you a 0% APR until July 30, 2012! So, yup. Buy in July, pay off in a year, no interest. Winner. |
Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. It's nice to see how much everyone appreciates that stage 1 cam thread, I think it's turned out great with a lot of very useful information. Special thanks to Sandro and everyone else for their contributions, looking forward to seeing a review from you Josh. I need to get new tie rods too, if the k-sports are that cheap I might try them out as well. |
Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. I think some upgrades are in the future for me too.. :) But, that's the story of a different thread altogether... can't wait to see what you do here. |
Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. HPS pad give off a SH!T ton of brake dust...and if u dont clean them every week, you are going to have a nice powder-coat-like-brake-dust rims. brownish color. if u get pads, go with the hawk HP ceramic pads. much less brake dust and stopping power the same as the HPS. http://www.corsportusa.com/store/cat...cfeff6cbfd205b |
Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. and while ur at it J, get some stainless steel lines as well. night and day compared to the stock rubber lines... besides, its just about time to change out ur rubber lines anyways. |
Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. Hella upcoming job, man! get 3 cans of PB blaster and stuff :D this time azumi will not try to dump you, then :D |
Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. Money Money Money You are spending so much on your car...so much in fact I think you surpassed the value of your car hahaha Well, good luck on everything & I agree with sleepy, don't get HPS, the brake dust on Hawks are stupid crazy. Either get ceramic, or go with a different brand. Pssst, What about that blown TW5? No plans to replace/repair? :( |

As for the TW5, I've tuned my system to accommodate the lack of a sub. Sounds good, just minus the punch the sub gives. I'm content with the way it sounds, so replacing the tw5 is kinda low on the list of things to do. |
Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. Your not really running it into the ground when you are mantaining the FUKK out of it. :) Should last fooorever |

Thanks for the heads up on the HPS pads, too. I do have gunmetal rims, so it hides brake dust nicely. I can't tell until I run my finger across it. That's kinda weird though because they claim low dust.. :shrug: on separate note, i had gunmetal wheels in front and silver in the rear until i cleaned the fronts, then they were silver/silver :D Here's one mid-way to gun metal fronts...

Re: I'm about to tear into Azumi.. I texted my buddy out in San Diego that has his own little mobile automotive repair business. He said he'd be down to help me out. When I told him my plans, his reaction before I even asked for help was, "Cool, so when we puttin that shit in?" haha.. I'm overdue for a San Diego visit, anyways. |
