My li bro came by today he took the racing stripes off his 8 (thank god) looks sooo much better. He borrowed the rear caliper tool... Said he has slotted/drilled rotorpro rotors with red hats and red ebc pads coming in... then next weekend he is going to Hector's to get a set of the Federal SS595 tires... his odometer is just over 130k and his reman was put in at 75k... he is going to map me a route he takes to get back to canyon lake where he lives from Austin that includes the Devil's Backbone...

if you look close you can see it but not that bad... maybe a good buff job to finish it off....

My favorite moment of all of that time was when we uninstalled the aem intake screen out of your throttle body.
