Doing the whole brake upgrade thing. No BBK though.

The rotors are slotted, Hawk HP+ pads, stainless lines, and Motul fluid.

Anybody feel like doing brakes with me sometime in the next couple of weeks?
Payment in the form of malted barley and hops.

I didn't really have Mid-O on the brain when I ordered the brakes (mine are toast anyways) but it'll be cooler with them.

What's the weather look like for Thurs?

I'll help you with the brakes. I don't have anything going on this weekend or next, and maybe we can put my horns in at the same time?

Looks like crap if you ask me. Rain all day today, overnight and tomorrow. Canal road is known for huge floodings, it may be that we will have to meet somewhere else tomorrow.

If you want I can see if my friend could get you in the shop on a weekend - with 3 of us working on the car we could knock them brakes out quick
lifts + air tools = sweetness

Are you going to be there for the NASA event Apr 20-22? Looks like it's going to be the Pro course.

Weather got better , maybe will give an Evo a quick spin today.... We'll see if it won't get worse at around 7:00pm.

Oh, by the way spotted:

Silver Evo 8 with tinted windows, looking stock.... Heading down I-480 west, right by I-271... It was around 10:20am. I was going East on 480, in my white F-430, er F-350.... So many cars, I keep forgetting....

I know nothing about auto-x but am interested. Where can I see what events happen when/where so I can go watch?

Oh, yeah. I really wish they were running Club for HPDE, though. I finally got to where I could get into the bus stop without braking.

I can't quite put a face to your screen name. I've met most of the other OH/IN track regulars. I have a silver '03 and usually run number 96. It's pretty much stock and has a cat, so mine's the one that doesn't belch fire!

To this point I can't say that I'm a road course regular. I've done a lot more 1/4 mile and some auto-x. Definitely looking forward to doing some track days this summer.

Took my sled out for a late spin tonight after work.

Man I can't wait for spring and summer.
