The hood should help if anything, and his bumper has pretty comparable air flow.

I honestly don't know. I was little low on oil after the first stop of the caravan down, but I topped it off, and thought i was fine. I guess not. I am hoping that fluid changes, along with a coolant bleed will resolve any issues.

I would expect BETTER cooling with the hood/bumper.

You should have someone show you how to do the brakes, it's VERY easy and you will save yourself a TON of money in the long run. I am sure they charge so much for brakes because of the liability, but if you do it yourself, you'll be fine.

Could be, but then, I'd expect 8D to have the same problem.

i was thinking that as well..i mean, in the long run, once i'm not near a good reliable group of people i will learn.. it's just tough when i have trusty people that are good at this and i don't have time.
but you are right..i should learn eventually...

weird about the overheating though

Brakes are definitely DIY material.

I learned to do brakes by having a good friend of mine teach me with my Trans Am. Once i saw it once, I was like: "That's IT!?"

If you EVER start tracking a car, you will NEED to know how to do your own brakes.


I just got confirmation that my Motive power bleeder for my brakes has shipped. Now I can bleed them by myself.
