Love the seat $ub! That's a lot of orange you got there

 

[Brad Ferrell]

Maybe he should get one of those orange fake tans to match everything else?

Just an idea...don't hate on me. I hope you think this is funny, or I'll take it down JP.

Have any pics or a write up on how to remove the front seats?


**** you auto correct!

 

[$ub$onic]

There is already a how to for it so I did not bother.

It's easy though, 4 total bolts, 2 being the seatbelt.

 

[$ub$onic]

Yep.

 

[CheapFuneral]

Gotta lose that spare adds a lot of weight. I just did this Thursday.


**** you auto correct!

 

[$ub$onic]

I take it out for every race.

I like keeping a spare in the car though.

Although I don't Carry a jack all the time soooo not real sure why I keep it in there

 

[CheapFuneral]

I keep a pair of dikes and a plug kit. My sonic rarely sees anything outside a city so I figure I'll make to a gas station or one of the highway Rangers will pump it up for me.


**** you auto correct!

Made myself new racing numbers for this year, and they are magnetic!

 

[AdorableKaren]

Can you make my name magnetic?

 

[$ub$onic]

First race is Sunday, really looking forward to it.

Hopefully I remember how to drive haha

How did the X-Brace work for ya?

How did the X-Brace work for ya?

Good actually, I felt the handling in the corners was more consistent then before.
I am having some brake issues right now so I'm not able to to hit the turns as hard as I would like but I am liking what I'm feeling so far.

You just re-did the rears, right? What kind of issue? Hopefully something simple like air in the lines. I'm thinking of doing a similar job, and I'm absorbing information...

Ya, it actually had nothing to do with the new rears.

My master cylinder seized up, I had to remove the master cylinder and free the plunger, As a result a seal was damaged and both front and rear work as one unit vs 2 separate. Soooo brakes were a tad spongy.

New master is on order.

As far as doing the rear brakes, it's really easy and Straight forward.

 

[wasteoffilm]

Hmm.. CjCsonic had his master go bad as well, while looking into a brake upgrade, this isn't very heartwarming.

 

[$ub$onic]

You should be fine, I don't see master cylinders being a common issue.
