Can you let me know when you work on your rotors? I'd like to come take a look at them. If it's similar, then I'll complete the work on my car. Looks like the only thing I won't be able to do myself would be the SS lines.

I am trying to be done before the beginning of next week so that I can get my car inspected for the May 13 track day @ Waterford. I have a busy work week after May 1 so I doubt I'll even have the time to take it a shop to get it fixed

Before you know it the time will be up for ZDayZ and I am afraid I won't be able to get it ready. Infact I have a track day on my way back on May 24th at Mid-Ohio.

So I just read up on all the diys and watched vids for using the power bleeder.

I think I'm pretty confident on the full brake job. But still gonna rely on u Brian for supervision

Hey Brian, just wanted to confirm if u have some key tools (if not we can buy it)

10mm flare wrench
rubber mallet

I got a full box of gloves and will bring shop towels and garbage bags. Maybe a pair of jackstands and floor Jack.

Let me know if we need to bring anything else

oh and Sarah will stop by with some treats

I just finished the DIY for removing the wheel locks without a key.

Wheel Lock Removal DIY

Deepu: I already changed one rotor and I have three to go. Even if we cancel the group install party due to rain, we can still do a couple cars in the garage. We'll get ya taken care of.

Rob:
I have the wrench but not the rubber mallet. You should buy the brake wrench anyway. It will come in handy someday and it's not too expensive.

Whelp. I may have just bought a set of KW V3 coilovers and SPC camber kits. Couldn't pass up the deal on the other forum (even though taxes left me pretty much broke)... I really need a place with a garage... I'll probably have to have it installed by someone else just because I don't have a garage and jacks. :P

I just think it's dumb to build up walls around sites with a common community... I guess that's just the difference between an enthusiast site and one run by corporation. The other forum's rules for linking to other forums is sane... this one is not.

They don't have the emoticon I was looking for so I'll just use this one:

Isolated T-Storms
High 74°F
Low 56°F
Precip: 30%

Slight chance of a thunderstorm. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the mid 50s.

It's getting better! Although now working earlier in the day seems better

Gonna tape up my sockets tonight so we don't get them mixed up like last time

Looks like I will need to get my stockie wheels and tires out of storage so I can move the car out for Saturday. My 20's are getting blasted and powdercoated. In the mean time, I am installing as much as I can. The Z won't be completely together again till end of next week. I hate to miss all this good weather.

Where was the car located at?
It was at a dealership in Kansas City. I was a little nervous buying it sight unseen, but I'm pretty happy with my purchase.


Rob: I'll plan on stopping by this weekend if you guys are still doing mods.

Auto Addictions here in SE MI quoted me $120.

Here's the thing. Anyone can quote it cheaper. But you want someone who will take their time, properly heat up the fender and slowly roll the lip. If this shop looks really good and they will stand behind their work, it might be worth it.
