Thanks man.. It'll be a minute before I do. Slowly I am getting all the detailing stuff. And car wash stuff I need to prevent new swirls marks. Figured no point on doing it unless I am going to fight new swirls marks

Yup, that is the way to do it. I bought all the care supplies first and then the polishing supplies. What size pads did you buy?

Wuiquen · 07-31-2014, 07:15 PM

Haven't bought them yet. I have a 6in backing plate so I need to buy 6.5 pads.. But everyone says to buy smaller.. But don't really want to buy new backing plate.. Idk lol

What DA Polisher did you go with?

I honestly say get both if possible. It will be impossible to do the smaller parts of the car like the front fasica, A pillars and C pillars without something like a 4 inch pad. But at the same time doing the doors, fenders, roof and such with with 4 inch pads will suck.

So, in the space of a year my 3.91's have chewed the crap out of my rear tires. I know it was great for burnouts with my 18" steelies, but I honestly didn't think it would be this bad on two Falken summer tires (315/35R20). So now I'm making the change over to Michelin today, and it looks like I'm giving an arm and a leg for them.

Well searched amazon and found the backing and pads for about 5 dollars each.. So that's not too bad. Will get then too when I order the regular pads.. Was thinking about a foam gun too.. Errr so many things.. Lol but this month I got my clothing allowance for uniforms but I have plenty for this year so I'm buying my stuff with that.. As for the DA, I'm shopping about. Some member here showed me what the DA from harbor freight can do at half of the cost of most.. But then idk... Well have to decide soon

Hey did you do the install yourself? All stock stuff is almost off just the diff is stuck to the driveshaft rubber coupler...got 1 of the 3 holes loose can't get the other two to budge!

6bangerBOOM · 08-01-2014, 03:41 PM

Nah, unfortunately my experience with tuners was not sufficient that I felt comfortable programming the changes myself. I had it all done at a shop. Would WD-40 help out?

kjkjr27 · 08-01-2014, 03:45 PM

Heat gun to the rescue!!!

6bangerBOOM · 08-01-2014, 03:49 PM

Hey can you get some comparison shots of the two driveshafts? That would actually help out the community a lot. Or at least those who want to gear swap.

Never took the stock driveshaft off! It lines up perfect so won't need to swap it sorry
