Cleaned it, did some interior detailing.
I also got a letter from my indy dealership I bought my car from, personally signed by the three owners wishing me a Merry Christmas. What a bunch of cool people![]()

aside from from my pulley/belt issue, i changed the PS fluid and cleaned the MAF sensor today. used Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF. the fluid i removed was brown/black and looked nasty. new red fluid went in. the steering does feel better imo. then cleaned the MAF. no sweat. i wasn't expecting much, but i must say, my butt dyno says the car is noticeably faster. and to the ears it snarls more. me likey! so even though i didn't get the pulleys done, it was still a fairly productive day.
i used this link, it was perfect.

Angel Eyes! Orion V2's stock 4300K. Finally took the plunge. Very happy about them. Cell phone pics are not very good, but will post some regular pics later.
Testing before final install.
Installed - looks washed out but that's just the cell phone camera.

My report still stands; still not as firm as I want it. Otherwise, yes; stops very quickly!
I also have a report from someone with the same kit that brake fade is virtually nonexistant. Just what I wanted to hear.
Really hope to get a chance to wash the damn thing tomorrow; hasn't been done in weeks.![]()
I kinda thought the same thing when did mine in Oct. Granted, they weren't any bigger than stock or anything - not special like yours
Anyway, moral of the story is they did seem to firm up a bit in a week or so. Maybe yours will too? Has anyone else experienced this?
Also, did you run ss lines? Maybe you need those with yer big-azz brakes![]()
