UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

[STJIM]

Ambergris. VRBO on the beach 10 miles north of San Pedro

Spent too many weeks there one day. Lol.

Just finished your build thread from beginning, through all the harsh comments to this point. Love the time, engery, and money which I need more of . But I definitely want to do the wheels and springs on mine, but wanna start with an IC, catch can, and air intake. Thanks for the links and all the info, but one question I have is the rear wiper delete, where did you get the more recent plugs from. Thanks and keep up the good work. Here is my ST.

So I had those plugs made for myself but I gave the dimensions to Travis at Houston Speed Freaks and he sells them on his site now. I wasn’t interested in them as a business…I just wanted one. lol

One more thing, I did notice the weight of the new wheels, but did you happen to weigh the factory wheel as well?

My 21’s were just over 78lbs per

Got the S&B today…haven’t installed it yet but I promptly cleaned and oiled the filters blue. I hate red filters. lol

She was plain filthy after the last road trip. Total of 10 hours worth of washing and detailing. Clay bar, Iron X, water spot remover because I didn’t dry the damn thing after I washed it, polish and wax. Water spots were so bad on the glass I had to dry cut them with 0000 steel wool. Now she goes under her cover until after Christmas...comes back out on the 26th for a 200 mile back road “cruise” with a local group. View attachment 8867

Hey Unbroken. I bought that ironx like you mentioned. I have a question though? When you use a clay bar with ironx did you also use another solvent with the ironx when you washed it? I haven't received the ironx yet. I have mother's spray that is supposed to be used with that clay bar. I was wondering if I should mix the two or use ironx straight with the clay bar. Thanks.

Iron x straight…rinse then clay bar after.

Thank you!

I know that you asked this question of UNBROKEN but I thought I'd throw this out anyway.

I would not use the clay bar directly with the IronX. Use the IronX as instructed and then use the clay bar with some soapy water or a clay bar lube spray, basically something with some lubricity for the clay to glide over.

The IronX makes some clays fall apart and you don't want to be working with your hands in the IronX or breathing much of it either.

Thank you, I appreciate the help. It is being delivered today. I'm excited to see this stuff work.

Turns color so you will see all the metal contaminates. I was amazed first time I used it.

Did you share more details on what happened to your factory rear diff? What went wrong with it? Selfishly wondering if this is inevitable even with grannied driving or if you pounded it specially

 

[UNBROKEN]

Just plain old random bad luck I think.

 

[ConspicuousConsumption]

At least you have the know how and trusted shops. Could be worse (like if it happens to me and I have to pay the dealer out of pocket). Good luck with it

Forgot to post the new wheel cover completed. I had to shrink a few spots around the top spokes but it came out virtually perfect. View attachment 19772

My local upholstery guy said he doesn’t want to install my steering wheel cover. What steps did you take to remove the steering wheel? Any tips for the install would be appreciated. Thanks

Takes just a couple minutes to pop off the wheel. Release the airbag with a thin, long Allen wrench…holes are on the back side of the wheel, then unplug the wiring and remove the Torx bolt that holds it on and it’ll fall off. Before you disassemble the wheel take pics of the wiring and whew it runs so you don’t have to try to remember later.
