pics of my new factory 16s

[1qckser]

The tires are 255/50/16 in the rear, and 245/50/16 in the front, I love the stance, the car handles sweet and looks bad azz, next week new Tokico blues and Qships energy suspension bushings.http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4289455153

Wow! She looks great!

Hubba hubba!!!

Thanks AZ, I fell in love when I seen yours so I had to go for it, you had the look I like, subtle yet mean lookn, I keep going to the front door to check it out, only problem is its raining so no testing yet,

[1qckser]

How do you like the exhaust? I redoing it soon.

[AZhitman]

I like the straight-cut pipes - What size are they? I don't see the big-arse muffler - What have you changed on it?

[1qckser]

I ran 2 1/4 pipe from the factory resonators, I ceramic coated it when I realized you could see it from behind, I then used 2 bullet style resonators into 2 3.5 inch resonated APC tips, its got a nice smooth sound, almost like a quite Z06 nice n deep. Did you do yours yet? QSHIP is goin nuts on his car, he just did some good mods, also your wheels look great on his car>

[AZhitman]

Hmmmm.... Gimme some more info on the resonators and the tips.

You didn't notice any real performance changes, I take it?

Tell Chad I don't wanna hear JACK about his car 'til we see some pics!

DAYYYYYUUUUUUUUMMMMMM!!!! That is one nice looking Q. Love the exhaust.

So you have no muffler? Just resonators that run into straight pipes?

[elwesso]

GOLDEN!!!! I like the wheels, although I would have gotten them chromed.... But that is just me..........

[90Q45blue]

I actually don't like the chrome look as well (personal preference). Kudos to you on a great-looking Q!

Truely!!!

Thanks guys, I like the chrome but the way I drive it would just attract more attention than I need My exhaust I think added some in the higher rpm range, im just using the factory resonators and the aftermarket ones are a bullet style with a smoothe perforated core, I went with these because a Q with straight pipe sounds like a ZR1 with an exhaust leak yuuuk, the resonated tips are just icing on the cake, the care has a nice mellow real deep sound under a loud, but lay into the throttle and bring it up into the rpms and it sounds like a formula 1 car, I tucked the resonators up so they couldnt be seen from the rear, the pipe and the resonators are actually tacked together, thanks again guys for the nice words, everytime I look at the car I cry because I only paid $1500 for it and a lot of the work was done prior to me purchasing it, by the way AZ im gonna see QSHIP tommorow so maybe I can get some pics of his car now, he just did a great deal of work and the car performs awesome. Thanks:)

Why did you use the 245s in the front? Just curious since I have four 255s in my garage waiting to go on those same rims. From everything I've heard and can see, they should fit and I wanted them to be the same since I cross rotate them at each oil change.

I had seen this setup before on a 94 Q, he did it with 17s and I liked the way it looked, I know Dennis is gonna yell at me but I just couldnt resist doing it, if you see it in person you will understand, kinda looks like the stance of a 740I plus I had a huge fender well gap to get under control, I know I will regret doing it when its time to rotate but they are not to expensive so I will deal with it, 255s all around will look awesome, please post pics when you have it done.

[Q451990]

Hopefully I'll be taking pics soon... I have "Q2" on jack stands in my garage with more stuff off of it than on at this point. Took the brake calipers off for a good cleaning before installing the new Stillen rotors (thanks Joe!), SS flex lines, and trying out my new dial indicator for indexing them.

[1qckser]

Wow, your doin the stuff I need to do, have you tried the ss lines on your other Q? What kinda pads are you using?

[Q451990]

Never tried the SS lines before - just thought 13 year old lines should be replaced with something, and these weren't much more expensive. Got them from TechnaFit.

I'm just using OEM pads. I tried aftermarket once and had bad glazing and noise. I've heard good things about the Metal Masters - I think Dennis uses them on the back and OEM on the front (or vice versa, can't remember for sure).
