I constantly check the pressure from the DIC.
I like them to be 30psi cold and then heat up to 32 on all 4 corners.
Right now, my Fronts are actually the rear and vice versa
I rotated the tires but did not tell the TMPS to relearn the locations because I will be moving them back soon enough.

I had Nitrogen in mine till changed the wheels .Now they want about 75.00 to put it in . My PT had it for (4) years and never lost any pressure.

Planning on changing all my lights (four corners) to LED's tonight courtesy of Stunner Lights. GO-N-Def did this recently and I am interested in the turnout and how they look. Guess I will have to wait for the MM for a comparison of stock vs. LED. WooHoo!!! Mod Time!!!

After getting them repainted and getting the clear bra material re-installed on them, I re-installed my recessed grills today.

I know the picture's lousy but you can see them in a week at the MM.

Hey SB, how you liken your recessed grills? I have a set too but have never installed them. I was thinking of ordering Aftershocks RKs lip spoiler but everytime you go to the site the recessed grills and several other products are always listed as "coming soon". I did contact Rudy asking if RK still producing the lip spoiler and he replied back right away saying yes and it would take about 2 weeks. But seeing as how it doesn't look like a lot of progress is being made on the products he's advertising it kind of makes me leery of going through with it or not.

Critterman · « **Reply #3904 on:** May 19, 2011, 12:58:07 PM »

All of aftershock's products are made to order, there is no stock. He produces or sends out for production when you order.

I have both the rear lip spoiler and the recessed grills. I have no complaints about the service that I received from Rudy. I had an issue with the first lip spoiler that RKsport made for me and Rudy was quick to make sure that the issue was resolved. I was more than happy and it looks sharp on the car IMHO.

As Critterman says, everything is make to order so you aren't going to get parts from him in 3 to 4 days.

Were the recessed grills a lot of work? Oh yeah. My hands have long since healed up after the marathon session of scraping and sanding. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat as I love the way they look.

Critterman · « **Reply #3906 on:** May 19, 2011, 01:44:31 PM »

So that means you would do a set for others then?

ChopTop · « **Reply #3907 on:** May 19, 2011, 01:58:08 PM »

SB, appreciate the reply. I knew I wouldn't get the lip spoiler right away I was concerned with getting it at all. Since I came from the Fiero world home of the "Hey folks, I'm going to start producing this tomorrow", only to never be heard from again, I've become paranoid on who to trust and who not too. Not that I've ever had any problems with Aftershock, just a little gun shy.

Originally I was going to install the recessed grills on our coupe but flip-flopped and decided not too. Now that we also have the vert I'm thinking again of installing them on that. But first I have to buy a GXP spoiler because I like Norms GXP front spoiler a lot better than the NA spoiler.

Chop top, let's talk. Sending PM

JimVonBaden · « **Reply #3909 on:** May 19, 2011, 05:19:36 PM »

Never touching the tires, mine run from 27 to 35 psi. If the temps are around freezing they will run down to as low as 27, and when warmed up around 31 psi. On a hot day as high as 35 psi.

As you mentioned ChopTop, the grills aren't available a the moment. I read a post from Rudy some time ago saying that he was trying to come up with an other way to manufacture them. He took a lot of flack from some for all the work that was required to get them to the point to paint them.

They were only for the certifiable among us.

Got some JL Audio stuff today:

Evolution ZR650-CSi Component Speakers
Evolution CS350x Coaxial Speakers
XB-BTU Battery Connector
XB-MGLU Bolt-On Master Ground Lug
HD-RLC Remote Level Control

All I need now is to order my speaker cables, power cables, RCA cables, some sound deadener, and wait for my tools and my HD900/5 Amplifier and Fuse Block to come in and I'm ready for my install.

I supposedly can use the base motorpool garage to do it over a long weekend...

The ZR's are good speakers....nice choice. Are you changing the subwoofer? I might have a Memphis flat 10" for sale after I upgrade mine to a bigger one on Saturday.

I'm keeping the Monsson sub while I'm in Korea since I'm going to have to cut the firewall and glass an enclosure, but when I get back to civilization I'll be changing it out.

I'm not a big Memphis fan and tend to stick with what most consider the best: JL Audio. As it sits right now, I'm looking at their 13TW5, but if JL Audio comes out with something new between now and install time, I'll reconsider.

Duck, Sometimes I wonder exactly how many of your screws have fallen all the way out...

JimmyBaja · « **Reply #3917 on:** May 19, 2011, 10:11:00 PM »

Step awaaaay from the weed.

duckSol · « **Reply #3918 on:** May 19, 2011, 10:22:24 PM »

I'll do the oil change tomorrow.
Then I gotta load the cabinet stand for the gas grill into the pick up. Then go get Big Bubba to weld a bolt back on the stand so I can put the wife's gas grill back together.
This 'Redneck Restoration' is cutting into valuable SLY time.

Ordered another (have one on our coupe) Lightinsight (http://www.lightinsight.com/) windshield prism for the vert that helps shows the reflection of the traffic signal so you don't have to lower you head and look under the windshield frame. And while I'd wish it would show the traffic signal larger, it does work as advertised. I wonder if the old school suction cups windshield prisms show a larger reflection?

Changed the valve cover gaskets this morning. I did it myself in the garage in 1/2 hour.

With tax, it only cost $52.70 Canadian with my discount for the gasket set. What a deal. And they wonder why people shop in the states...

Yeah, I know John.

And that was without any shipping 'cause I got them at the Chevy dealer not far from my house.
