OffTheWall503's 2016 Magnetic Build Thread

[OffTheWall503]

Slow build is slow. Just been driving and commuting with the car everyday. We've had a mix of snow, ice, rain and misc recently so the car has been filthy. Turbo install was delayed but now I should (hopefully) get it installed this weekend.

^^^That is one good thing about our color (even if you don't like it generally), it does NOT look too bad, even when dirty, and does not 'show' the dirt as much as some of the other colors!

I STILL cannot get over how GREAT those wheels look on that car!! (Maybe the ride height accentuates their appeal?)

It really makes me wish I had Magnetic Gray instead.

man I really love how these cars look in magnetic, it shows off the creases and folds of the car's skin so well. Even when dirty.

Slow build is slow. Not much to say at the moment. As much as it pained me, I decided to sell the ATP turbo kit so I could focus on getting an engagement ring for my girlfriend.

But even as such, car is still daily driven and I love it even more than the day I bought it.

On Thursday I am receiving a new gel badge for the steering wheel, made to match the Ford ST carbon shift knob. I'll be sure to post pictures once I get it put on.

Yet my older son thinks I was stupid to not get it in your color! LOL

Glad you got your priorities figured out . Car mods will always be around for you to dabble in at a later time.

I put in my build number plaque and custom order steering wheel badge yesterday. Build numbers can be had from Bernard, info can be found here: http://www.fiestastforum.com/forum/threads/12025-ST-Build-Number-Plaques-(and-how-to-get-one)

The steering wheel badge was ordered from Nate at Rebadge Design (https://www.instagram.com/rebadgedesign/?hl=en) and I had him make it to match the Ford ST carbon shift knob.

Not much going on, just driving my car and enjoying it.

I was finally able to wash my car for the first time in months and install the ST Octane Academy badges.

Just pulled the trigger on my new summer wheel/tire setup. Rota Titans in 17x8 +40 and 215/40/17 Kumho Ecsta LE Sport tires.

Lug nuts for the new wheels came today, Muteki SR35 in black.

^^^They sell those without the locks as well, correct?

 

[OffTheWall503]

I believe so, they have the SR50 as well that are longer in length.

 

[lonelysuperstar]

Just bought the same set. With locks

Apparently cheap black nail polish will keep it from rusting (since Mutekis aren't stainless). Random bit from browsing civic forums.

Edit: I ate a word...

Does anyone actually make stainless lug nuts in our thread size?

Gorilla Lifetime lugs maybe? They guarantee no rust... http://www.gorilla-auto.com/lifetime-lug-nuts 12x1.5

Has anyone ever had issues with the Muteki lugs rusting? I've never heard of that until now.
