thanks people for the kind comments

i just installed my new front pads and rotors and i think i need to bleed them because i have almost no braking power with pedal all the way to the floor.

c pillar bar is simply not long enough all the way extended.

---QUESTION---My ebay lug nuts are going to s*** (dont EVER buy these), so im running the stock lug nuts on my hanabis in the front for now. they seem to have the same design, but will it hurt my wheels.

i have come to the conclusion that i dont know mcuh about cars. i just f*** around with them until it works.

and i didn't keep my wheels. they are gone...
hey, i was looking into uti and wyotech when i was looking at schools. in my opinion they are hit or miss schools. i have three friends that came out of uti at the top of their class and don't know the difference between a straight 6 vs a v6 . next time you are in the area check out citrus college or rio hondo. hell of a lot cheaper and imo a more hands on and thorough program. and as far as working with the big name companies, citrus is cmpletely backed by toyota/scion/lexus while hondo is backed by honda/acura. just a heads up, do with it what you will. i went to citrus with several friends who came out with their mastertech certs, i slacked and got my a4 and a5 ase's
