Hey didn't you go to the AutoX at north park 2 weeks ago. I think I saw you but not sure being I only met you like 1 time.
I have yet to meet you - so i think u have me confused with someone else

and I was at the auto-x Sunday but didn't run, just went up for a bit to watch since it was so nice out.

More power and if it is at a gas station close makes it easier to drive on it versus C or Q 16.

i can honestly say changing the brakes is the most convenient thing mistu did for us!

The most important thing is getting the pads seated correctly. after getting them installed if you dont do properly they will either squeak, pull the car on way or another or wear down quickly. best way to do that is immediately after getting them installed, go out and do like 4 or 5 60mph to 1 mph stops. DONT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP while doing these break in stops.

How come you didn't come down to our big meet at the waterfront a few weeks back?

Hey Dan, I just read something that may be of interest to you. I'm sure Dave B knows, but just in case you didn't, check this out. After a catastrophic motor failure, replace your oil cooler. You can flush out almost anything else, but the cooler will never get clean. Pieces of metal from the failure can ruin your new motor in no time. Just thought I'd mention it.

Are you thinking of me? I've met you at both places you mentioned.

As for brakes. They are easy. I just hate working on cars that's why I won't help. Pull wheel, pull top clip off, pull two pins, remove pads, then reverse to install

I did see you and your wife at north park a few weeks ago.
