Woot whoo !

I'm off starting at 4 pm until Monday then I only have to work for 2 days then I'm off for 5 days. Then I work for 3 days and I'm off for 3 days.

I love it around the holidays...I get to use up days that I can't carry over.
It makes it for a bunch of very short work weeks.

That sucks when you run into issues & problems that shouldn't be there in the first place. But usually there will be something that impedes your time.

How much is the endlink cost ?

Thumbs up RECENT G35 Brembo BBK install (LAST NIGHT)

The SETUP



One of My Fav Shots - Just cause it has DOS XX's in there.. Did some draining before taking stuff apart


TIN SNIPS - For REAR - BALLIN TOOL TO HAVE...LIKE CUTTING PAPER..


FRONT SHOT- before wheel install



FRONT SHOT- COMPLETE


REAR SHOT- COMPLETE



PROPS to Jason Z-Ya for letting me borrow his Motive Power Bleeder that EASILY made this job CAKE..

No need to quote the pics. But what do you mean? The brakes still look small with the wheels?
