Fresh meats!

 

Taking my time this week on new rotors, refinished calipers, new pads, new stainless brake lines and fluid. After last night, car is up on stands with everything off. Next step is to clean up, sand and paint the calipers. While those dry, get the new rotors fitted and new lines started. See if I can get it all knocked out by Sunday For some reason, my wife doesn't want me working through today. Something about it being our anniversary or something... Anyways, going to be a busy weekend!

 

Letting her rest. I bought her 13 days ago and have put about 500 miles on her, which isn't horrible, but considering I don't commute to work it's a lot of joy rides.

Planning on bleeding the clutch and brakes tomorrow.

 

Clutch rod free play adjustment on both, 10 minutes max and both are happier.

 

New 1 step colder plugs as per my tuner, rear axle TSB, cabin air filter, brake service all around, and cleaned the air filter which I'm certain hadn't been done in a long while (I bought it in Sept and basically dropped it off to my tuner for to swap out the AEM EMS for Hondata KPro).
Wednesday drop off top my tuner to clean up the tune a bit and next weekend rear diff fluid and MTF.

 

Detailed and put her away before the rain....just purchased on Thursday. 197.xxx seems to be running like a sewing machine...needs TLC, but will make a great project car. Mechanical it's probably an 8...cosmetic a 6.

 

I just did this exact job. Went with Stoptech rotors and lines. Hawk ceramic pads. G2 black paint.

 

Yesterday gave mine a good bath and got all the bug splatter off from the country ride last weekend, took me about 4 beers to get done ... rained all weekend but should be nice enough Monday to use for my airport run.

 

Very interesting color combination.

 

That's one way to put it..... Who knows what they were thinking....
