SilverFog, yes, the 'hat' as it's called, is available in a variety of colors...blue, silver, black, red, etc...

I'm going to keep them blue, I think it looks killer...even though I didn't think I was going to like it...

S2K_CLS, it was a very emotional day...actually! What should have taken two hours TOPS, took us about 5 because, first of all, we are both morons and second of all, well, refer back to the first reason, that should explain everything...!

And always nice to hear from the Godfather himself, dbw. Don't be such a stranger, my man!

Oops, I lied. I just washed and Z'd Scarlet and the rotors DID develop some light rust on them. No big deal, it will come off the first couple of brushes under the brake pads...

Just wanted to clarify that...

Also, Urmil, sorry we missed you guys yesterday. We got delayed, well, cuz we're morons, as I have previously stated. Next time I know I will be there...Brad never drives his S2000, so we'll have to see about him...

Greg,

Next time you have to do that job here's a little trick for those two damn screws:

1. First try using either a phillips head socket or a phillips screwdriver without a handle (so it's more like a chisel), place it in the screw and bang on it a few times with a hammer. This will most likely break the layer of corrosion that causes them to be such a pain in the ass.

2. If this doesn't loosen them so that you can remove them easily and normally you need to resort to a chisel. Get a chisel (a flathead screwdriver will not do), use it to notch the screw near the outer perimeter of the screw's head, and then use the chisel and a hammer to loosen the screw by placing the chisel in the notch and pounding it out (counter clockwise of course).

It seems so simple, but after trying to drill one out like you did it occurred to me to call my uncle (the 18 year Honda/Acura Master Mechanic) and ask him how to do it (duh!).

Clark
