Daddy needs bigger brakes now!

Post by **rsiwicki** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

awesome....so what is the tire smoking factor now as before with the 4.08 as I recall you were smoking them for a long ways

Post by **240Knightrider** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

Looks Good

Post by **AZhitman** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

.3" shorter than stock diameter, so I increased the effective ratio somewhat.

Little heavier (4 lbs) per corner, so it's a wash... BTW, so no one freaks out they're a 97W index.

Daddy's bigger brakes are on the way.

Post by **AZhitman** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

p.s. Gotta quit with the blatant exhibition of acceleration for no good reason. Tires are expensive.

Someone please just sell your old wheels to Wes.

Post by **WesAllen** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

My car is the same color as yours, but there ends all the similarities. Your car looks freaky GREAT!!

What happened to wide mesh with fat lip?

Post by **Jesda** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

You know, there's not a single visual flaw on Quella. SHES FREAKING GORGEOUS!!! No wait... shes PLATINUM.

I have a problem keeping wax residue off of rubber trim pieces around windows. And it doesnt seem to want to ever come out.

Any advice?

Looks awesome hitman!

What brakes will you be going with and can I dibs your skyline brakes? ... if that was you who had them :pface

Phil - The budget is what happened to the meshies with the lip. Actually, I'm kinda liking the more modern look of these - it really transforms the car...

Jesda - Simple solution: Quit using wax. Wax is crap. Wax is for normal vehicles. You do not own a normal vehicle. Buy some 5Star or Zaino.

Brakes will be OEM size drilled/slotted from SP Performance (see my "package deal" stickied at the top).

Wes, we can talk. My 16's aren't perfect, so the price will be according.

Did that already

Post by **Mr1der** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

not to hate on you Greg, but I hate that paint color, yet, it still looks good on a Q...

and I care not what anyone says, Chrome will always be natural looking on a super glossy black or pearl car.

so you gonna let me drive it?:D

Post by **elwesso** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

1der... I agree, I am not a fan of pearl white.....

Post by **Jesda** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

Pearl White is the BEST! This is not an issue open to debate!

Post by **maxnix** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

It's not Pearl White, it is Ivory Quartz (KH1), the only 3 coat paint on a 1995 Q45. It is gorgeous to all but the blind.__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t & 2000 Q45

Post by **qship96** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

the color i always wanted in the q,sadly i ended up with cypress green pearl,shows every swirl,chip,and hairline scratch,unlike the ivory! never another dark colored car for me again!the ivory makes the q seem to be made of porcelin,very solid and elegant looking,even though my wife says it is "feminine"?

DAYUM!!! Again, much love for your baby! I repeat. G50 Q45 = Timeless Beauty. AZhitman's 95 in Ivory Quartz with OEM chrome 18x7.5s. Priceless....

...Quella 1

Post by **elwesso** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

Brian. All in the eyes of the beholder. Im not a fan of white cars, they lack the shine and deepness that darker colors give you... Again, IMHO. Plus, they're too easy to keep clean and scratch free!!!

Let me repeat: Ivory Quartz is not white.

Wait until you see one in bright sun. I have seen and ridden in Quella. Ivory Quartz is the signature color for a late model Q45. No one else can make a large car in a light color look so beautiful.

The fourescent lights in the photographs shade the color balance incorrectly.

Post by **Altiman94** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

very clean ride. What year Q are those rims off of?

Post by **AZhitman** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

Those rims are off a 03 Q45 Premium. Removed before delivery to the customer who really, really wanted Giovanni 20's.

Brian, good eye on the flourescents. The 2nd pic is actually the closest to "reality".

p.s. I'd put the IPQ 3-stage color up against ANY for depth... Keep in mind it's actually a 4-stage system, the ONLY of any car manufacturer in the 90's. Base coat of an iridescent goldish clor, followed by an ivory (somewhat translucent) quartz overcoat, then the mostly clear pearl quartz (basically a pearl clearcoat), finished with clear.

Wes, it's actually FAR more difficult to keep clean than a dark car. Everything from the door trim down seems to pick up road funk, which appears as a black dust...

Post by **HeavyDuty** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

I've never really liked the IPQ on my car, only because there were soooooo many of them way back then.

Then again, other colors don't look quite right to me either (for me to own.)

Strange.

Even though you know I'm not a fan of chrome, it really looks good on your car. It's really hard to beat a set of OE wheels.

Post by **cousteau77** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

Ivory Quartz (Pearl) is for drivers of class and distinction. And there is absolutely no bias whatsoever in that statement. Hitman! Has your car ever been re-painted?

Post by **AZhitman** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

Just the front and rear bumpers (I did - TWICE) and the RF fender (prior owner did).

All done at the dealership.

Post by **cousteau77** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:09 am

I need my bumpers re-painted. How much did your dealer charge?
