Anybody know what type of steel the exhaust manifold pipe is?
I want to have flanges made to bolt on HFC's.
(or, what kind of welding rod is used on exhaust stock header)
 
image.webp I got a newb question how do you remove the brake line? My newb ass stripped 80% of the flare nut with a regular wrench :mad: I forgot that I needed a flare nut wrench! My question is which way do you turn it to remove it?
 
Thanks for the info! That's the only thing holding me back on installing the Akebono BBK
 
Hey guys.. I was inactive for a while. Lots of stuff going between work, my wife and her doc visits plus getting my son ready for college..

When when checking my aftermarket wheels, I noticed that one of my hubcentric rings is disintegrating. I forgot to take pics. Looking at replacement now. Should I go with aluminum or stick to plastic? I am not sure if the failure was caused by careless re-install of the wheels by the shop or material fatigue. I had new tires mounted a few months ago.

I have heard plastic is better since it does not expand and contract as metals do but seeing how my plastic rings breaking apart, I am not that sure now. Thanks in advance gents..
 
Hey Ruben, glad to see you on here. Hope things will be more under control for you.

I personally would go with aluminum for durability. My brother in-laws been using my old set of wheels with my old FX35 for years (6-7) years now without any issues. Chris (FX45Chicago) been using plastic ones for years too without any issues too.
 
Thanks for the fast reply Andy. I think I am finally up to speed now and will have more time to do the things that I really wanted to do. I'd be ordering the aluminum then..

Good to be back to my iS family.
