Installed a Stillen catback today. Big thanks to @sundevil73 for the great deal. First 'performance' mod since I bought the car 10 years ago. Have some more stuff en route and waiting to be painted/installed. Paint correction in the near future as well.
10 years ago and your finally getting to enjoy aftermarket exhaust? Must make it sound like a new car . Stillen is really tasteful too.
Yeah, I wanted something nicer looking and a little deeper sounding than stock. I didn't care for max power. I have some top speed high flow cats which I might not put on now since I don't want it any louder.
Sigh, so I finally got around to my brakes. Brake fluid leaking out where the line meets the caliper. Thought it was just the driver side front, but turns out the passenger side started having the same issue... Tiny layer of powdercoat was still sitting where the crush washer touches the caliper. Over time, it soaked in some brake fluid, and corroded the crap out of the connection. Had to take the calipers off, machine the surface where the brake line connects, then reinstall and bleed the whole damn system all over again. An hour job became a weekend project. At least there is peace of mind now that they're not leaking anymore.

was this with the remans? Thanks for the update. Sorry about the issue. Hopefully your wheels are safe from the fluid

Remans?
Wheels are fine. They're cheap crap anyways lol, not too expensive to replace. I bit pissed that the akebonos have the powdercoat completely messed up on the back now, even though noone will ever see it.
Didnt take a new photo, but as a refresher of what it looked like: (used to be perfectly smooth)

Oh, no, these are akebonos from a q50s. I had the custom candy blue powdercoat done... at a really reputable shop. Spent an hour cleaning out the bleeder valves (having to replace 2 of them) afterward... now this.
