50_Shades: SPL Brake Build and rear knuckle refresh

Part 2 - January 2022

Peanut butter.. all crunch. This is largely just a post walking through the state of my hydraulics and lines before going through and replacing them all. Basically everything was 30yrs old and dead tired.

Before the month evaporates, I wanted to make a post showing the current state of the car. I have a few more chronological tech chapters to share still but wanted to cover something current.

The car’s new name is “50 Shades of Red”. Over the fall and into winter I paint matched the aero bits while I had time between work and kiddos. It all looks horrible up close but is somewhat red so for now I will take it. Eventually I’ll get the car all resprayed in AH3. Thanks to Steve and Busch Latte for helping get it all mounted!

This combo has been in my head since first getting the car. Nothing crazy but simple:
-J.Blood knockoff lip (real is discontinued)
-DorkiDori AutoCouture V2 sideskirts & Type X coupe valances.
-Z33 OEM mirrors

Also put on various cleaner panels thanks to Zeke Arant.
-Headlight assemblies
-Trunk
-Taillights
-Taillight trim panel
-Chuki bumper extensions
-Chuki bumper
-Rear bumper

It needs a wang or something now. I have the OEM SE wing, thinking of deleting the 3rd brake light until I find a S14 K’s wing or something similar. I’ll get new coilovers soon and go a little lower, current Megan’s can’t go any lower in the rear.

In my typical fashion I wasted no time in throwing the car BACK on jack stands 🙃. I found a nearby set of S14 FLCAs for a good deal and decided to rebuild & install them. Good and easy upgrade.

Few small updates. Life has been crazy but we're getting closer to starting the dirty40 and I found some photos from 2008. Have a great holiday weekend everyone!
