Just a brief summary update to date ^_^ Part3

In my previous blog, i mentioned after the respray i was experiencing some problems with the brakes, and some sort of resistance in the pedal. After some mechanical fiddling, my mechanic friends couldn't narrow the problem at first, so the car went on to the brake ramps. This particular device was used to measure the braking on each side of the wheels which would indicate the level of braking per side. As a result it illustrated the right side having some play. 

Haha just wanted to highlight the sign in this picture. Viewing area ;) my FTO exactly :D

More further dismantling needed and more techy's on the job. In the end we found the problem, it was due to my brake discs not touching the calipers right causing the resistance feel in the brakes.

Problem: Brake discs not fully touching the calipers.
Solution: Diamond Brake Skim to smooth the disc.

While i was at dynotech, i couldn't help myself but admire some EVO's :D

JDMing Update: Well brake disc problem solved and i thought it was time to get rid of the OEM orange side indicators and they look totally wrong with a matte black car.

Installed: JDM D-Speed Side repeaters


Other goodies i added the same day:

Adhesive attached pouch case

Air Spencer - CS-X3 air freshener
