I tried the Hawk HPS as well looking for an upgrade several years ago. 2 months later I took them off and threw them in the trash. Same thing goes for rotors. Stock is king. The LNF simply came with an amazing brake package.

Changed my trans fluid and brake fluid. Fixed a oil leak at the hpfp cam cap. Discovered I have some rust removal and prevention in the near future in a couple places. Not bad, just need to fix it before it becomes a problem.

I got most of the bugs worked out, and now have 1200 miles on her. Funnest car ive ever owned by far! The 9 months of living broke, staying up late turning wrenches, cussing and carrying on because I didn't know the answer to all my questions, ALL WORTH IT. And I stayed within my original budget of 6k including car! Thanks for anyone who helped me out on here! Youll see more of me in the war stories section I promise, as ive already ran the car more times than I could count.

my e brake keeps getting stuck if it sits too long engaged, like after 2 weeks or so. Any ideas before I do a full teardown and clean them (they are kinda dirty)

It could be the pistons getting stuck, or something simple to check would be the guide pins

Just an fyi, you do have to cut the top off the rear rubber spring seat to get the new seat on.

I may also throw out there that I'm learning how to lay and wrap carbon fiber. Wondering what I should practice on before I start making parts for my Nova. Sure, it's going to be expensive but why the hell not?

So on the way home I passed(by like 2mph) a guy in an Altima coupe with 22s, and he got the ******* idea to tailgate me. We were coming up on a rotary that most people take at 15mph. I took it at 35 and watched the guy behind me almost hit the curb and run off the road trying to be a ******** and tailgate.

I paid mine off at the end of summer, I don't feel any different really. I have a hard time spending money on anything anyway.

Like 70% of the time I make a big purchase I debate it for like a week straight, usually end up returning it too. Not like I can't afford it, I just have a hard time getting excited enough to actually spend money on anything. which is good I guess.
