The wat to properly outgas pads is to heat them in an old toster oven up to 400 degrees and bake them for 30 min. Unplug the oven and let the pads cool slowly. If you open the toaster door, the cold air rushes in and makes the pads brittle. After cooling they are ready to be installed with no further work. Jason and I have hung out at shows back when we both had Del Sols. It's funny when we are asked if we are father and son. Kids can't believe that they weren't the first ones to be interested in 'foreign' cars. I've been into these cars for over 40 years and I enjoy the shows to see what's going on with the cars. While the musical taste is godawful, the cars get better and better. Jason points me in the right direction about stuff most of the time

oh grove i have a small tear in my eye.
ok thats gone. grove and i have such a laugh at these kids that think they know more then grove does. i'll never forget at the manchester show last summer when a kid sees that the s2k's top speed is 150 and he tells grove that his integra has done 160. i can't stop laughing just thinking of grove's response. he says, "yeah over a cliff". the kid just had a blank face. i asked him where he did this and he says on the highway. i just walked away.
