[StryctNy9e]

Got a couple Job interviews tuesday, If all goes well and I get one of them I will be getting new tires soon. Yay, hella excited, I need bigger meats!!

 

[lynchy wa]

Good luck mate!

 

[StryctNy9e]

thanks Lynchy, I will keep my fingers crossed, I have money for tires saved up just cant spend it on tires till I get a job. It is more like emergency money, but I cosider this a emergency I NEED 32'S!!!!

 

[Palmer7]

Good luck man!!! 32's is deff considered an emergency I agree. So recently me and my girl have found a new place to live forcing me to save my money the downside is I went to start my mustang the other day and it doesn't start so I'm thinking the alternator is shot and I can't buy a new one but the plus I get to drive around my ex haha.

 

[blazin8556]

Coming together nicely.

 

[StryctNy9e]

Well that sux about the stang palmer, but maybe I can swing by and we can try to find out whats wrong with it, I wish I still had my volt meter. Anyways if your positive it is the alternator than I wont worry about it and you will be happy to drive the ex for a few weeks anyway. I might tinker with somthin on the ex later, I got to wait and see what happens with the weather. Now off to this interview!!!

 

[lynchy wa]

How'd it go?

 

[StryctNy9e]

1 interview went well and the other was kinda a waste of time. The first interview was for a maitniance position and the guys there were cool and I was able to answer all thier questions and feel very confident. The other one was out of my leauge and the general job posting was very different than what they were looking for. Hopefully I will get a call back from the maitniance position, untill then I will keep on searching and play the waiting game for a call back.

 

[StryctNy9e]

Just checked the mail and I got a check in it, so it looks like I will be getting new calipers and rotors since mine are shot to ****. I will have some pics of that somtime this week im sure!

 

[lynchy wa]

Nice surprise, my letterbox is usually full of bill's

 

[StryctNy9e]

Inside the Mailbox

There was a couple bills in there with it, But on the positive note I alredy paid those online I should probably save my money because I only get 1 more check after this one, But if I cant get tires I will get somthing for the rig that is less expensive and will give me possible better gas milage for the time being. My calipers are shot and are very sticky and if im gettin new calipers might as well get new rotors so I dont have to worry about them being warped or needing to be re surfaced.:biggthump

 

[StryctNy9e]

Rotors and ...

Just picked up these, I told you guys money burns a hole in my pocket. I will get the calipers tommaro!!

 

[lynchy wa]

Cool! That cheque didn't even touch the sides, straight through! They sure are pretty tho' would look good on the wall in my lounge room.

 

[StryctNy9e]

Calipers

Picked up these cheapie rebuilt calipers from schmucks or O reillys whatever you want to call it, But at least they are rebuilt FORD parts

 

[StryctNy9e]

Painted calipers

Yea yea yea i know these suckers will be coverd in brake dust in no time and you will hardly be able to tell I painted them. But my main reason for painting was to help protect from rust and mud. In the pics the flash from the camera made the non painted calipers look very shiny and gave them the same look as the painted ones. But in persom you could really tell the difference and I like the way they look. Also I thinl it will look cool having a lighter color caliper sitting behind a set of black rims, wich I dont have yet but plan on getting in the future, or painting my deerhoove stck rims black in the future.

Let me know what you guys think and I will probably end up throwing on the rotors and calipers tommarow.

 

[lynchy wa]

Are you going silver or red, yellow? Blue?

 

[StryctNy9e]

They are painted silver, in post # 76

 

[lynchy wa]

No worries mate, I get abit confused sometimes! Should look wicked on board

 

[StryctNy9e]

I will take some pics when they are all put together and I also get to bleed my brakes, so maybe that will resolve some of my ABS issues. Thanks lynchy.
