I'll have to pick some up tomorrow. It's damn filthy though from that ice mess so I feel I need to spray it off before using ONR. Also it might look a little odd using that with a bucket in a apartment parking garage.

You could do what I did at school and take it to a drive thru place and pressure wash it, then do the ONR stuff. I got yelled at for doing it in the bay since you're not supposed to and people were waiting, but you could easily drive to an open spot and do it there as well.

Sounds like a good idea, only problem is finding a self serve car wash in Dallas/Arlington that isn't hood.

Where in Dallas are you? I can think of one that isn't really in a bad part of town but idk what kind of people show up. The one I went to in CA had normal people, but the area of town was a little questionable. I just went during the day only.

Where on Royal? There's one on Greenville at University blvd. That's the one I'm thinking of. Even if it's ghetto, it's pretty open and right on the road so I doubt you'd have to worry much.

It was right before the intersection of Royal and 635, called lucky duck car wash or some crap. I just want to rinse off my Z in a decent location. I do carry a Glock 22 RTF2.

I'll check out the location on Greenville though!

Having trouble removing pistons from some brembo brakes. Used air compressor, but only 5 pistons came out. Got frustrated and pulled two more out and damaged them. Any ideas on how to removed the rest with out damage?

Thanks

That area has really improved the past 5-10 years.

I was filling out a Howlie burton application the other day, and I see what you were worried about with your driving record now Eric. There were at least 4 different questions regarding tickets, accidents, DUI's etc. I was lucky and they only wanted the past 3 years so it's all blank for me. I guess my last speeding ticket was in May 2009, and got that BS illegal u-turn in Richardson I'm not even sure when. I guess late 2010 because I was in the Tahoe I think home from school. Hopefully warnings don't show up though, forgot about that.

Yeah it's pretty serious. It's much worse on my end because I'm a DOT regulated commercial driver with hazmat endorsement. The company doesn't want bad drivers due to insurance, but my penalties are much worse because of the CDL.

Oh I see. The pistons are like $48 each front and $28 each rear. Wish I could help you on how to get them out, but I haven't done my rebuild yet. Hope you get it figured out.
