Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Haha because that would be redundant. I could beat an f body 3800 camaro too, both being n/a it comes down to the driver mod and those 3800 camaros can spin the wheels pretty hard from a stop

Spent 5 hrs on the imp. Washed, then used my HF 7" and proceeded to scorch paint lol. Gosh I suck with these things. This is the 3rd time I've used it and I think I'm getting...better? Only burnt 2 spots. Wait...3. But I got some new wax and I really like it, Meguiars Black Wax. Goes on easy and wipes off just as easy.

Well quick recommendation get a 5 inch backing plate and run some good pass like lake country 5.5 inch pads etc skip the cheap HF pads

Sounds like you are using a rotary. Should have gotten a DA.

Yeah I think I will. This HF thing is a pain in the ass. It doesn't have a trigger, you gotta push a button to increase/decrease speed. I think with better pads I might have a fighting chance with it though. I got a couple different foam pads from HF, and they fall apart and hop, though the hopping may be driver error dunno.

What pads would you recmend if I got a 5" plate for it? I think I just need one for cutting and one for polish/glaze right?

Another vote for Lake Country. You probably want to get a few different pads and more than one of each.

i got a lake county pad pack. had a yellow pad, pink, a orange and a black iirc. 6 inch pads, i use on my d/a hf buffer. love that thing. just used it last week.

Lake country makes good pads. I use orange for correction.. Get enough of them at least 3-4 or so.

Yes. El Es Juan (LS1)
It was a 99 with 315 ET streets on the rear, coil overs, subframe connectors, blah blah blah. Just an intake and catback for motor mods.

You jumped.. cheater. You must have went to Smuts racing school.

You have 0 proof

Luke was there.. he'll back me up haha

Wait don't you have that video too

If you want idiot proof, pick up a porter cable xp7424, then..I'll billion X the lake country pads. Because... I think everyone I know uses them as well.

Did a burnout

Erm.... that's about it for this week.

Walbro still isn't installed, it's been on my shelf for a month now. Really lacking in motivation to take apart the canister... someone motivate me?

It's super easy
