Ganyon's 99 GS build thread

Finished both rear rotors. I'm gonna get both rear calipers tomorrow and my grandfather is gonna come over and help me change them.

Dude, you'll be able to stop so hard you'll think you went backwards.
Those poor Futuras don't stand a chance anymore, lol.

 

[Ganyon]

Lol. Well I went and got the calipers.

 

[Ted's Owner]

OEM's or aftermarket?

 

[Ganyon]

Just some from autozone. Whem I take the cores back, I'm gonna get a caliper paint kit. I just cant decide, red or blue?

If I had to pick between the two, I'd go with blue, but honestly, If I were you, I'd paint them black (satin black if they have it) and get some white or red Honda brake caliper decals (they do make them; they're curved to fit and look OEM). It'd look factory, but it'd give it a subtle custom look.

Blue or silver.

 

[Ganyon]

I'm leaning towards blue. But anything looks better than rust.

 

[Ted's Owner]

Blue would look better than red on your car I think. Regardless which color you choose, make sure to take your time. Calipers are easy to screw up when you try to paint them. It's hard to get a proper looking finish.

 

[R13]

Your vc is blue, It's the only logical decision.

 

[Ted's Owner]

This is kinda true; Ganyon, your VC and SRI are already blue, so blue would look good, but I know that I'd drive myself nuts if the blues were a different color.

Can't wait to get these calipers on. I hate driving the toaster.

 

[Ganyon]

I need tires so bad. The wheels look sexy on the car.

Really?

 

[Ganyon]

Yeah, its so underpowered and the ride is horrible. It bounces so bad. Its almost like toyota put ebay brand springs on it.
