    Well, my roof basket is gone. It moved on to its new home with @kcowles this weekend.

    Front and rear Stop Tech street pads and the front calipers arrived today. The rotors and rear calipers should arrive tomorrow. The calipers will be painted prior to install. The 3.0R will get work done this weekend before this car since I daily the 3.0R.

    I got Brembo rotors from tirerack.com. They are on sale right now. I have heard good things about Centric rotors too.

    The new calipers got a coat of paint last night. Red for the extra horsepower.

    The new brakes went on today/tonight. The wagon finally stops like it should again. I only took it out to bed in the pads and rotors, but its a HUGE improvement. However, the parking brake shoes are shot. One actually came apart while we were replacing the rear rotors. Looks like I have to spend more money on this pile.

    The wagon got waxed today. One coat cleaner wax, one coat Mother's Reflections Car Wax, and one coat Mother's Reflections Top Coat. The depth of color is great. Its nice and shiny. Now if only the paint itself wasn't crap.

    It only took a month and a half, but I have ordered the parking brake rebuild kit and new parking brake shoes. In other news I got some sweet JDM parts from @Rubie_25GT.

    Eh, it doesn't have side skirts. At this point I just want to keep this car running well. My parking brake parts came today. Soon I will have a functioning parking brake again.

    Yesterday I went to my friend's house and we fixed the parking brake. All new shoes and hardware. It would have been nice if Rock Auto had sent the right shoes. We had to run out and find some parking brake shoes since Rock Auto accidentally sent me brake shoes for a late 90s Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler minivan. Once we got done that we figured out the relay for my Hella 500s had failed. Those are working again. We also installed a set of JDM side markers complements of @Rubie_25GT. Don't mind the dirty car.


    After that we went up to my friend's brother's house and met up with @Rubie_25GT and @kcowles to fix an issue with her wagon. But that is her story to tell.

    Give you guys props on doing buffing/waxing. Hate to do it so thats why I paint mine satin. Maybe I'm just lazy but then again the satin finish is also hard to maintain. Looks good

    Yeah. I am not a fan of the process. But I am a fan of the results. I bought the car in 06 and I think in the previous 8 years before I owned the car it wasn't waxed once. The paint is pretty bad.

    Here is an update on the brakes. I still really like the stopping power the StopTech street pads have. But after having them for a little I have noticed what some reviews say. They are definitely made for a more aggressive style driver. If you drive normally they will build up deposits on the rotors and cause a vibration in the pedal. The deposits can be cleaned off with a few hard stops, but they do come back after a bit of normal driving. I think next time I will pay more and get the Hawk HPS pads. My brother currently has those on his Jetta and they have good stopping power as well, without leaving deposits on the rotor.

    No real updates other than the wagon probably needs a left rear wheel bearing. It complains on right hand turns at decent speed. It lasted 174k though. To my knowledge the car has all 4 original wheel bearings. Oh and its going to need a right front cv axle at some point too. The inner boot is completely ripped in half. I believe the front cv axles are original too. I replaced both rears already.

    Oh and one of my under seat subs gave up the ghost. My friend took it apart to see if it can be fixed. He said there is actually a weight attached to the cone.

    My friend said he replaced the speaker and it sounds the same. He thinks the amp is going bad. For what I can get them for the junkyards around here I don't really care that its dying.
