What did you do for your Terminator today?

I'll just summarized what I've done over last two weeks if ok. BUT, for today, I did dust off the cobra and ran some errands in it. Was low 90s today and thank God I recharge my AC with some refrigerant.
I old BilletFlow idlers were worn with some deep grooves, so I replace them with new BF idlers and new Belt as well.
Then there has been an annoying squealing front the front which I assume was the brake system. I greased up the metal to metal points around pads and caliper and it cured 95% of the problem. Upon inspection, I took my front brake pads off and was shocked. So order some new Hawk HPS pads from Amazon and also had enough material on the rotors to get them resurfaced.
Some pics of the rotors from resurfacing and stock pads to the new pads. I just rolled over 40K miles.

Finally, we had a local Cars and Coffee with hung around with an old friend in his beautiful 1993 Cobra with 8K miles.

OH yeah, first time using Imgur....

Most likely. I had some dbags on little bikes messing around and I walked them hard. I don't know how anything could have beat my 08' 10R. ****ing thing was insane.

Badcobra (most have his handle wrong as it won't pop) is @1000rwhp and beats litre bikes.

Your car looks bad ass. How does it run?

That's a good price for everything you are having coated. I charge 1200 to 1400 for the same work. What coating are they using?

System X for everything, Diamond ceramic for the paint.

Drove it to work beautiful out today may hit 70.

I would tend to agree with you Revvv. Most GI's go out and buy a bike for the first time (I know I did back in 2001). And most buy 6R's. I did that as well. Bought a Ninja 6R. Still fun to see the look on their faces when they don't leave on a "Mustang." LMAO!!!!

Just been driving it all over since I'm actually in town during this time of year for the first time in 5yrs. Bout' to get parked though with temps regularly hitting 100* now though.

Went to go meet the GF at a sports bar and parked out in the back 9 to avoid door dings. Hopped out and kid that might have been 15 comes running up and says "nice Terminator". Kind of put a smile on my face that at least some of the newer generation still knows about these cars.

I had a similar experience last year when I was taking a couple of pictures of my car in front of Lambeau Field. A kid about 13-14 comes out all wide eyed and asks if it's a Terminator and then asks if I'll open the hood. Was very fun.

The end of summer last year I went to a car meet with my son. It was an import meet, but it was 5 minutes from my house and my son wanted to hang out. As I was cruising through trying to find a spot to park I heard a couple people get all excited and shout "it's a Terminator ". Felt pretty good since there was a row of GTR's right in front of where I was.

hahah awesome guys! Ive had plenty of people roll up in traffic or gas stations and stay stuff but I kid that may not have been born when these came out is pretty cool!

I have had kids as young as six at car shows say, "HEY!! A TERMINATOR!!!"

And I've had guys less than half my age roll by in traffic and yell, "TERMINATOR!!"
One guy in a new Charger raced up beside me, he was maybe twenty something, rolled down his window and yelled, "THAT'S MY FAVORITE CAR!!!"

^^^ LOL, cool stories! Due to my paint job I get kids that say "Look mommy, it's a race car!" Close enough for me LMAO!!!

You sure they weren't yelling "Old Impersonator!"?

I put a set of drag radials on my Cobra!

Installed New trunk panel, LED head light and fog light bulbs, LED dome light bulbs, and carbon fiber fog light bezels. Also cleaned the wheel wells etc.

Those for light bezels are cool. Where’d you get them?
