Installed new pads/rotors and flushed the brake fluid.

Finally installed my Vibrant U.Q. Resonator in place of the 3rd "Cali" Cat Convertor- used a matching Vibrant Merge "Y" Collector in front of it for a nice & smooth transition. Made a very slight difference in tone, mostly when I stomp on it. And it feels ever so slightly more free breathing. Of course I saved the stock CC assembly for reinstalling before selling.

I’ll have to get Triple A. It sounds like it doesn’t hurt to have it.

I bet the brakes feel much better. What brand did you go with for the pads and rotors?

This happened yesterday but I was driving to get some food in the evening and noticed my windshield wiper fluid light was coming on during turns. I was passing advanced auto so i figured I'd go get some of the stuff and put it in. Surprisingly they didn't have any of the 'bug cleaner' versions of the liquid so i left and when i went to start the car it wouldn't start. apparently the battery was on its last straw and it died right in front of advanced auto. Went back inside and got a replacement battery. Its funny that it happened in such a convenient location. This is all your fault Kira, your post a few days ago made my car remember it needed a new battery

Kira should be ashamed of himself, of all the gall, ha.

I waxed my SC and took it to a car meet last night.

My dad was in town over the weekend and gave me a bottle Meguair’s Liquid Ceramic Wax. It’s pretty cool stuff. I’ll apply it to my LS and GS this week.

Kira, I understand that is a good wax. Several guys in our local chapter use it and love the shine. I am jealous, wish my paint job was good enough to wax but one of these days.

That’s good to hear. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Meguair’s products have always been great and it’s at stores everywhere. My dad got a few bottles on clearance at Walmart for $6 a piece.

I understand how you feel. My SC’s paint is starting to fade on the roof and trunk, so the wax doesn’t look quite as good as it should. I need to order that car cover that Blklexcoupe has for his SC.

I finally ordered a new headunit for my SC300. My Pioneer that I’ve had since 2010 got stolen out of my SC last summer and I never replaced it.

Crutchfield contacted me today about a small shipment of the headunit I wanted they got today. It’s been impossible to find any of the higher end Pioneer headunits all year, so I’m really excited about that. I plan to start installing my speakers soon and getting some sound deadening ordered.

Hey Kira, this is interesting, would you keep us informed on this product, this may be just what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Bill

Absolutely! It’s scheduled to come in next Tuesday. It’s a Pioneer 3500NEX, single DIN with the fold away screen. I think you’d really like it. I was torn between the 3500NEX and the 4500NEX. The one I got is cheaper and I love the folding screen. The 4500NEX has wireless Apple CarPlay and a few extra features, but is more expensive and a double DIN setup. Both are nearly impossible to get but they were the headunits I was impressed with the most. The Pioneer NEX lineup in general is really nice and your local Best Buy should have them all on display.

Thank you and will head that way Saturday.

That sounds good. I think you’ll like some of the radios they have. They were the only place with a variety of radios.

Since the engine and tranny are out of the car, I had the engine bay painted as well as the under carriage.
