If pic related, drilled rotors are for ricers. They do nothing but reduce braking performance and induce cracking if you end up racing it. Or just come off the freeway and slow down quickly.

Sorry not a tripfag. Done anything to the car recently?
>>13870934
don't be jelly br/o/
>>13870933
Had to put a new radiator in the relly cur after the 23 year old oem one's plastic neck snapped inside the upper hose. Took the opportunity to remove the AC condenser in front of it since my AC no longer works and is getting fully removed in the spring anyways.
>>13870958 Nice.
Na just dimpled not drilled. Only wanted slotted but these were cheaper for some reason. Rotors are vented anyway, no point in drilling holes.
>>13870958
His rotors are dimpled, not drilled.
>>13870973
o-one lug per wheel?
>>13871014
One of my black ones was missing, so I used one of the bigger chrome ones from my stock wheels in it's place
>>13870933
>chopped my flares up
>new transmission mount
>timing belt replaced

>lower ball joint boot replaced

Gonna be ditching my eibach springs in favor of coilovers soon.
In addition im going to replace my rear control arms as well as all bushings. To top it all off im throwing on some white '86 salad shooters for good measure.
>got my fog lights working again
>changed my oil
>mounted winter wheels/tires
should replace my rear struts soon

Can one of you please explain what the purpose/appeal is for slotted/drilled/dimpled brakes is?
>>13871115
muh brake dust
>>13871053
Restore the headlight lenses and you'll have a real nice car
>>13870933
>replaced pads and rotors with OEM parts after 147k miles of use
>changed the oil
>filled up
That's about it.
>>13871115
evacuating vaporized material during hard braking and during rain.
>>13871115
Really doesn't mean shit unless the brakes are bigger most of the time.
Some drilled brakes even crack if they're done wrong.
Otherwise, they help get heat and brake dust away from the surface that the caliper bites down on.
I put a big brake kit on my GT mustang recently, 13 inch Brembos all the way around. It stops like it never even went.
>>13871148
So then I take it dimpled is less prone to cracking? Is dimpled worse compaired to drilled?
>changed 4 rotors
>changed brakepads
>sanded and polished my hazed headlights
>timing belt, water pump, serpentine belts
>degrease and re-oil air filter
>checked cylinder compression
>oil/oilfilter change
>change wiperblades
>sprayed lithium grease on locks and latches and moonroof slides
>changed to winter tire set from summer
this was all done in span of 2 months. and my prelude is at 210,000km
Thinking wether or not i should bleed my brakes and check my outer tire rod ends but boots were fine when i checked during oil change. other than that, my car is good for a long while

Dimpled is just another form of slotting. I don't even really know what all these stupid things do. I just wanted some bigger brakes because it's just a matter of simple math that big fuck huge brakes are better.
It's more force to stop the main wheel from turning. So that's why I spent $3000 for a whole big brake kit.
These are the exact ones on my car now.
>>13871128
thanks m8
I have to peel the eyelids off, give them a good sanding and some clear/polish. Im just putting it off until spring
>>13870973
Hows rallying? I'm trying to get into it soon. What do you race, tips?
>>13871186
>front rotors/pads
>cleaned / cut / lubed & adjusted rear drums
>3 coats of OE 'black sticky shit' undercoating
>2 coats of OE spray wax undercoat
Front, center and rear strut and frame braces are on order.
Got a 50k mile motor and trans sitting in front of my tool box to swap in whenever I find time.
>changed out the blower motor
>replaced the thermostat
Feels good to have working heat.

>>13871204
holy fuck what shithole do you live in?
>>13871210
That was pretty much my reaction when I pulled it. I bought this car 2 weeks ago and it's been lots of stupid little problems ever since.
>>13871115
The dimples give water and dust/debris somewhere to go besides the braking surface and are better with not cracking compared to fully drilled, the slots work the same way but mostly are there to make sure the pads wear evenly
>>13871217
Illinois. So I guess shithole is a fairly accurate description.
>>13870933
Just changedy oil about 2 hours ago...nothing else. Picked up 5 quarts of this stuff for $18 after tax. (Employee discount)
Started to pull the motor on my grand Cherokee yesterday, it's fun when one cylinder has 0 compression
>>13871210
THIS
>replaced bald rear tires
>drop kit for shifter and a shorter lever (stock 91 has long throw)
steering wheel has a small amount of vibration when going straight at highway speeds (but not when wheel is turned), going to try to find why that's happening soon. other than that all good

warms my heart to see someone treating one of these that way. you're a good man

Glad it's all going well for you tibguy
Wide as fuck wheels when?

Dude, that right there looks like the insulation/sound proofing that my Merc has in its dashboard and and such

>>13870933
I checked the oil level a couple of days ago
Gonna have a timing-belt + water pump + right rear caliper changed in december by my black market mechanic
Working on replacing my exhaust manifold on my Wrangler. The last bolt snapped when I was putting it on. Obviously it was the one farthest to the back so it's near impossible to get a drill lined up with it properly.
>>13871815
that IS some sound dampening shit
how the fuck did it get into that blower
>>13872768
Not even if you remove your tire amd splash guard
>>13872808
Nope it's on the other side. I have the intake manifold completely off because they share a gasket, so they other two are pretty accessible. It's the firewall that is blocking me in this case.
Got my 1987 F150

Fucking oil pan is leaking. Iam not sure about tackling that one...
>>13870933
took my 2015 chevy sonic into dealer for 6 month checkup - free maint for 2 years
>>13871115
Nothing. Slots can increase initial bite and give the feeling of higher responsiveness from the brakes, but they don't actually increase breaking performance.
>>13872698
>adding oil before lowering the car
Stay pleb.
>added more oil because for some reason it was low
May have to look into that.
>>13871617
Thanks anon, slowly but surely going to turn this thing into an overland rig. Main goal is still being DD-able
Gave it a proper wash & wax
>>13873772
They don't do either of those things. And they most definitely help long term performance. Stop posting.

Cylinder number 1 on my 3 cylinder geo metro has 0 compression

>they don't do this

Wat?
Also for regular street driven cars cars blanks>all
New brake master cylinder, rebuilt the entire read driver caliper cause it fell the fuck apart after I put the new cylinder in. '99 ranger.
>>13875506
I actually got it out. I actually not able to get the intake manifold on now. I might have to loosen the exhaust and then tighten both at the same time, because it's an incredibly tight fit.
Also, how hard do y'all think it'd be to drop a 302 in my 99 ranger currently I have the standard 3.0l v6
Nothing big this week just changed the spark plugs and spark plug wires.
