Man that is a twin of your car Travis. I wasn't paying attention to who posted it and just thought it was you showing the new guy your car.
Welcome izzy! Sounds like you've added some nice parts to the car. You've found the right group of guys for trying autocross.

What are the odds that my temp gauge would increase 25% above average and my Volts meter gauge show 12 or below at idle, it dips below 9 at start up... Le mystery. This could have something to do with that under driven crank pulley.
Are we thinking afternoon or evening meet? If we are taking votes then I'll vote for the 24th if afternoon or evening, 31st if evening. I'm lucky enough to be on call the weekend of the 31st, but evenings aren't typically a worry.

SOB I snapped the male end of my 3/8" breaker bar off. To add insult to injury, now I can't use the 1/2' adapter either. Thinking I should get a 1/2" one as well. This was on the 4th of the 19mm caliper bolts in the front. Already went to HF once to get a piston compressor...
Sucks your breaker bar broke trying to take caliper bolts off. I'm trying to avoid that when taking the bolts on the underside of my car so I'm going to have to get an impact wrench soon.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but the 1/2" worked fine. I forgot to bring the broken one, but HF will replace it even with no receipt so that's cool. What sucks is the adapter that now has the one part of the breaker bar stuck in it.
I finished up the brakes but they have a longer pedal travel than I was expecting. They had a longish travel before so it feels the same, except now they grab earlier whereas before it felt like an on-off switch especially in stop and go on the highway. I would feel like I wasn't going to stop and then push a little harder and feel like I was slamming on the brakes.

Stu, I'm glad you got your brakes done....you should have called me...I had a 1/2" breaker bar you could have used. I know your not that close, but all you have to do is call.
