Ive got the 03 front brakes mine mine. Painted the calipers and brackets intense blue. Actually had someone think I had Brembo's on it. lol Also have the '03 R/T rear end in my garage that need rebuilt due to bad clutch pack I need to put on yet to have the complete '03 4 wheel disc brake set up. I went with slotted/cross drilled rotors.
Finally put on MY set of 20" R/T wheels with 274/40 Cooper Zeon RS3-S. Madboy can finally have his set back. Also, installed new front sway links and adjusted the Hotchkis sway bar. I planning to swap the trans sensor to the HD version tomorrow.
Pulled my dash bezel. Getting it ready for double din.
Drove it to parts store to get stuf for clutch replacement on car, then drove it to get beer after car pissed me the fuck off.
So I go to get my alignment done and the jam nuts were completely frozen to the inner tie rods...not to mention one of the inner ball joints was bad..they said to get new boots too since the small end won't fit over the jam nut or inner joint...so I busted out the cutoff wheel and she's back in the alignment shop now. Then I'm ordering a set of 4 new nitto invo tires in 255/50/17
Swapped good front door actuators from my old 99 to my new 2000 that were stripped inside and made the annoying noise. Much better. Need another for the rear door, then I'll be happy
Last weekend I put bilstein shocks on, bitchin! need hotchkis sway bars next
Put about 95 miles on it between today and yesterday after not driving it for almost 2 weeks. It stays in the garage a lot. Also tentatively worked out a deal for a Cuda roll pan and tips. Just waiting for a response from the seller to pay.

After 200 miles on the freshly installed engine..it was fluid flushing day. and I noticed I'd installed the 195 degree t-stat instead of a 180, so made that change, too.
Flushed the cooling system, new coolant, new thermostat, fresh oil and a spiffy new Fumoto oil drain valve & oil filter. Good for another 600 miles until it's next oil swap.
I used to run a 180 stat for years, then went back to running a 195.
Got my pacesetter* headers in spent 60 bucks shipped ....

Started stripping them and sanding the black coating off...
*
Then a bit of vht painting and they shouldn't rust for a while...

I know u guys hate on shorties but for my daily driver, with upcoming mandrel 2.5 all the way back, x pipe to hooker aerochamber mufflers, shouldn't be too bad. Not a bad Sunday at all
swapped out the trans governor solenoid. I hope I did it right... Madboy is going to swing by tomorrow to do tv cable adjustment and flog it.
You ok bud?
