Frank's C32 Obsidian Obsession
again Frank. Curious to see how that vinyl holds up. Does it swirl or chip easy?

holds up nicely so far. 3m vinyl rated 3-4 years outdoor life, so since i don't drive it much and it's always in the garage I think it'll be fine for a long time.
no swirl or water spot to worry.

looks like my cm30 pump is dying after 60k miles. IAT hit 160F in bumper to bumper traffic and almost 190F. got home on the driveway with engine on and the IAT came down to around 145F. time to get a new intercooler pump....

Love the wrap Frank! Time to make a new desktop background
Can you PM me about the wrap; $, any areas that were difficult, and where to find wrap?

haven't update on the 32 in a while. if i missed any post for questions and i failed to reply my apologies.
few things that went into maintenance/fixes:
1. finally had the transmission fluid, gasket, and what not changed after 113k miles. gear change is a little smoother, but overall i'd say my original fluid held up well because it wasn't a night&day difference in feel.
2. I had the coilovers raised up to around 1.5 finger gap (around 3/4 inch) all around. I'm tired of the huge pumps in the plazas that i frequent as well as crappy entrance that has a ridge that they never fix that causes my mid-pipe to hit/drag.
3. fixed a pretty big header leak on the LET headers on my passenger side. hope the weld holds for the foreseeable future.
4. replaced the 4 years old optima battery red-top with a new one.
5. car is now 10 years old and just has the smog checked.

But i'd say if you gonna keep the car for few more years. I dont see why not change the look of the car to have a feel of a new car.
thanks john, yea, i missed my no wheel gap and no scraping too. 18" on 225 and 255 just ride lower than the 19" on 235 and 255/265 or even my 18" 235 265 setup.

Out Of Control!!
Frank, where did you get that little Carlsson sticker above the lip? Thinking something subtle like that above mine would look good.
